MA247xD Series MA2472D Standard Diode Power Sensor (CW), 10 MHz to 18 GHz

Standard CW diode power sensor covering 10 MHz to 18 GHz with a -70 dBm to +20 dBm dynamic range and N(m) connector.

Frequency Range: 10 MHz - 18 GHz

Overview

The Anritsu MA2472D is a standard diode power sensor in the MA247xD Series. It is designed for use with the ML2430, ML2480 and ML2490 series power meters and covers the frequency range from 10 MHz to 18 GHz.

The sensor is intended for high dynamic range, high accuracy CW and TDMA measurements. It offers a 90 dB dynamic range, from -70 dBm to +20 dBm, with sensor linearity of 1.8% below 18 GHz.

With a rise time of less than 4 µs, the MA2472D is fast enough for power measurements on GSM and similar TDMA systems that use GMSK modulation. Calibration factors are stored in the sensor's EEPROM, and the RF input uses a precision N(m) connector with a hexagon coupling nut for attachment by an industry standard torque wrench.
