The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 6920 is a Schottky barrier diode power sensor engineered for precision RF power measurements across 10 MHz to 20 GHz. This low-power measurement device delivers -70 dBm to -20 dBm dynamic range with 0.01% resolution and integrates with compatible Marconi/IFR/Aeroflex power meters and test systems. The sensor combines low VSWR (maximum 1.4) with 50 Ω nominal impedance to minimize measurement uncertainty in benchtop and field environments.
