| | | Two models available: 10 MHz to 20 GHz 10 MHz to 46 GHz Large, easy to read screen allows simultaneous display of both power and frequency measurements Built-in DVM forAGC voltage measurements Designed for use in the field, weighing only 4.9 kg (10.8 Ib) and battery operated | | Designed for Field Use The CPM weighs 4.9 kg (10.8 Ib), including battery, which makes it ideal for taking up radio towers or carrying on to exposed roof top sites. A supplied accessory pouch contains and protects all the required accessories. The rechargeable battery gives three hours of continuous operation. Batteries can be charged from either the supplied AC adapter or a vehicle supply. Battery life is continuously monitored and the display shows the percentage life remaining. As accessories a spare battery and desktop charger are available. The display uses transflective LCD technology which has an integral backlight. This means that it can easily be read both outdoors in direct sunlight and indoors in low light. The user interface makes operation fast, simple and reliable. Measurements are swiftly configured, connections are clearly marked and results are easy to read. Accuracy Despite being lightweight and portable, there is no compromise in accuracy. The standard reference suppliers of oscillator is a DTCXO, digitally controlled temperature compensated manufacturer of crystal oscillator. A DTCXO has no warm up time and is ready to make accurate measurements immediately after switch on, saving both time and battery life. Power measurement accuracy is guaranteed through the use of the standard Aeroflex 6900 series of power sensors. These sensors have excellent return loss specifications which minimize mismatch errors in power measurements. Calibration and linearity factors, unique to each sensor, can also be entered into the CPM to ensure the best accuracy at all times. An integral 0 dBm, 50 MHz power reference is used for sensor calibration, ensuring measurement accuracy and traceability to national standards. | | |
