Accurate RMS power
measurements
The U2020 X-Series have a wide 30 MHz
video bandwidth and a 80 M-sample/s
continuous sampling rate for fast, accurate
and repeatable RMS power measurements.
With its high frequency coverage of 40 GHz,
wide dynamic range and extensive
measurement capability, the X-Series is
optimized for aerospace/defense, wireless
communication (LTE, WCDMA, GSM) and
wireless networking applications (WLAN).
A wide peak power dynamic
range
The U2020 X-series sensors’ dynamic
range of –30 to +20 dBm for peak power
measurements enables more accurate
analysis of very small signals, across a
broader range of peak power applications
in the aerospace, defense and wireless
industries.
Internal zero and calibration
Save time and reduce measurement
uncertainty with the internal zero and
calibration function. Each U2020 X-series
sensor comes with technology that
integrates a DC reference source and
switching circuits into the body of the
sensor so you can zero and calibrate the
sensor while it is connected to a device
under test. This feature removes the need
for connection and disconnection from an
external calibration source, speeding up
testing and reducing connector wear
and tear.
Built-in trigger in/trigger out
An external trigger enables accurate
triggering of small signals close to the
signal noise floor. The U2020 X-series USB
power sensors come with built-in trigger
in/out connection, allowing you to connect
an external trigger signal from a signal
source or the device-under-test directly to
the USB sensor through a standard BNC
to SMB cable. The sensors also come with
recorder/video-output features.
Compact and portable form
factor
The U2020 X-series are standalone sensors
that operate without the need of a power
meter or an external power supply. The
sensors draw power from a USB port and
do not need additional triggering modules
to operate, making them portable and
lightweight solutions for field applications
such as base station testing. Simply
plug the sensor to the USB port of your
PC or laptop, and start your power
measurements.
Fast rise and fall time;
wide video bandwidth
Accurately measure the output power
and timing parameters of pulses when
designing or manufacturing components
and subcomponents for radar systems.
The U2020 X-series USB power sensors
come with a 30 MHz bandwidth and ≤
13 ns rise and fall time, providing a high
performance peak and average power
solution that covers most high frequency
test applications up to 40 GHz.
Built-in radar and wireless
presets
Begin testing faster; the U2020 X-series
USB power sensors come with built-in
radar and wireless presets for DME, GSM,
EDGE, CDMA, WCDMA, WLAN, WiMAX™,
and LTE.
The internal zero and calibration function
is especially important in manufacturing
and automated test environments where
each second and each connection counts.
