The Marconi IFR Aeroflex 6932 is a precision RF power sensor engineered for accurate measurement across a broad frequency spectrum from 30 kHz to 4.2 GHz. Operating over a dynamic range of -15 dBm to +35 dBm (30 µW to 3 W), this sensor delivers 0.01% resolution and exceptional measurement linearity through innovative low-VSWR design and supplied correction data. The unit withstands continuous RF inputs to +37 dBm (5 W) CW and peak power excursions to +50 dBm (100 W) for 2 µs pulses, making it suitable for both bench characterization and field deployment.
