Anritsu MA2422B Power Sensor

The Anritsu MA2422B is a thermal power sensor within the fast thermal sensors category, which is associated with excellent speed and accuracy in power measurements. Conventional power sensors come nowhere near in this respect.

Another impressive feature of this sensor is the capability to perform true average power measurement. This is attributed to Seebeck elements that bring a unique combination of charge migration and thermal gradient.

The 10 MHz to 18 GHz frequency range ensures stable power readings. Because of various factors, errors may still occur. Examples of errors to expect in the Anritsu MA2422B are zero-offset, calibration factors, temperature and noise. However, this equipment guarantees accuracy of data through the inbuilt EEPROM feature. It is reliable no matter the type of signal.

Rise time is an essential parameter in the integrity of any signal.  This Anritsu MA2422B power sensor features a < 4.0 ms rise time. This is faster than conventional power sensors. Power measurements are faster and consequently, test time is shorter.

The Anritsu MA2422B features an impressive dynamic range of between -30 and +20 dBm. This is a guarantee for stable readings, which are enhanced by the speed. For even better performance, the equipment comes with RF connectors. These are precise components, but only if their interfaces are kept free of contamination. 

With its sturdy polycarbonate construction, the Anritsu MA2422B is able to withstand rough job treatment. In case you need added field protection, you can get a suitcase or front cover panel.
