The MA24400A USB Peak Power Sensor from Anritsu is engineered for high-performance signal measurement in the fast-paced world of wireless communications. With a rise time as fast as 3 ns and the capability to measure pulses as narrow as 10 ns, this sensor is ideal for applications involving wideband modulated signals (such as 802.11ac).
The sensor features real-time processing, ensuring that no signal is missed during measurement. Unlike other peak power sensors that halt measurements for processing, the MA24400A operates continuously, offering sampling rates of 100 megasamples per second and 10 gigasamples per second effective for superior time resolution and accuracy.
It supports a wide range of applications, from pulse power analysis to CCDF (Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function) graphs. The provided PC software offers a user-friendly interface for configuring measurements and viewing results, making it an invaluable tool for engineers and researchers.
