Anritsu MA2442D High Accuracy Diode Power Sensor (CW), 10 MHz to 18 GHz
High accuracy CW diode power sensor covering 10 MHz to 18 GHz with a -67 dBm to +20 dBm dynamic range and N(m) connector.
- Frequency Range
- 10 MHz - 18 GHz
Overview
The Anritsu MA2442D is a high accuracy diode power sensor in the MA244xD series. It covers 10 MHz to 18 GHz and is used with the Anritsu ML2430, ML2480 and ML2490 series power meters for high dynamic range, high accuracy CW and TDMA measurements.
A built-in 3 dB attenuator reduces input VSWR, so the sensor suits applications where measurement accuracy matters across a wide dynamic range, such as amplifier measurements. The MA244xD sensors have a dynamic range of 87 dB, compared with the 90 dB of the MA247xD standard diode sensors. In all other respects their performance is the same as the standard diode sensor.
Calibration factors are stored in the sensor's EEPROM. The MA2442D has a precision N(m) RF connector with a hexagon coupling nut, so it can be attached with an industry-standard torque wrench.
