The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 6233 is a scalar detector engineered for precise RF power measurements across 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Fitted with a 3.5 mm male connector, this detector delivers swept power measurement capability with accuracy comparable to dedicated power sensors through EEPROM-corrected frequency response. The 6233L variant incorporates integral input attenuators, enhancing input match and power handling for measurements spanning low-loss devices such as cables through high-power devices like amplifiers.
