Data Sheet 4540 Series RF Power Meter Taking performance to a new peak

4540 Series RF Power Meter The Boonton 4540 Series RF Power Meter is the instrument of choice for capturing, displaying and analyzing RF signals. Applications include pulsed RF signals like radar or gsm based technologies, as well as pseudorandom, noise-like signals such as cdma, evdo, wlan, wimax, umts, hspa, lte, ofdm or hdtv. The 4540 Series offers Pulse, Modulated/CW, and Statistical operating modes, making it well suited for all requirements of R&D, manufacturing and control operations. Single channel versions (4541) and dual channel versions (4542) are available. Features • 200 ps...

Modulated, Pulsed and Statistical Measurements Modulated Mode Statistical Mode Modulated Mode measurements are possible with cost effective Non-periodic signals, such as hdtv, evdo, umts or lte are CW sensors, or with fast Peak Power sensors. Using Peak Power noise-like and consist of varying magnitude peaks randomly sensors, the 4540 Series can measure true average power of distributed over the channel. These random events do not serve modulated waveforms, while providing important information as a trigger for consistent measurements. Amplifier designs about the instantaneous peak power...

Effective Random Sampling The 4540 Series RF Power Meter offers an impressingly detailed representation of measured signals. As a result, signals can be analyzed thoroughly and anomalies can be detected immediately. High signal definition is achieved with two powerful features: a time resolution of 200ps, unprecedented in a power meter of this class, and a technique called Repetitive Random Sampling. For repetitive signals, the 4540 Series offers an effective sampling rate of up to 5 GSamples / second. Autoset/Preset For accurate, repeatable measurements, power meters require diligently...
