The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 6230A is a scalar detector for RF and microwave signal measurement across 10 MHz to 20 GHz. It characterizes amplitude response of electronic components and systems with high sensitivity and 85 dB dynamic range. EEPROM frequency response correction delivers ±0.2 dB accuracy and enables swept power measurements with performance approaching dedicated power sensors.
