RF and Microwave Power Sensors/Meters

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Tektronix PSM3000, PSM4000, and PSM5000 Series are compact RF and microwave power sensors/meters designed for fast and accurate power measurements. They support a wide range of continuous wave (CW) and pulse modulation measurements, with models covering frequencies up to 26.5 GHz and dynamic ranges from -60 dBm to +20 dBm.
Key Features:
  • Models available with N and 3.5 mm connectors.
  • Dynamic range from -60 dBm to +20 dBm.
  • Uncertainty as low as 2.6%.
  • Reading rates up to 2000 readings/s.
  • Calibrated over full temperature range, eliminating the need for zeroing or calibration before measurements.
  • Includes applications for average power, duty cycle corrected pulse power, and measurement logging.
  • Compatible with Microsoft Windows, with LabVIEW drivers and programming examples available.
  • Compact size with no need for a separate meter mainframe.
Series Specifications:
  • PSM3000 Series: Offers true average power measurements, suitable for general-purpose RF and microwave applications.
  • PSM4000 Series: Adds pulse and peak power measurements, ideal for basic pulsed signal analysis.
  • PSM5000 Series: Includes pulse profiling capabilities for detailed signal characterization, supporting time domain analysis of repetitive pulsed signals.
Applications:
  • General-purpose RF and microwave average power measurements.
  • Characterization of repetitive pulsed signals, such as radar.
  • Peak and average power measurements on modulated signals like GSM, CDMA, and WiMAX.
  • Validation and characterization of power amplifiers and other RF components.
  • Service, maintenance, and installation of DTV, cellular, and radio broadcast transmitters.
Technical Specifications:

  • Noise Uncertainty: Varies with integration time and power level, e.g., 0.15% for +10 dBm to +20 dBm at 1 second integration from 100 MHz to 8 GHz.
  • Zero Offset Power: Calculated based on temperature and frequency range.
  • VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Varies with frequency, e.g., 1.18:1 from 100 MHz to 250 MHz.
  • Temperature Uncertainty: Varies with temperature range, e.g., 1.00% for 40 °C < T ≤ 50 °C.
General Specifications:
  • Maximum Average Power: +20 dBm (100 mW), with a damage level of +23 dBm (200 mW).
  • Measurement Rate: 2000/s with 100 settled measurements per second typical.
  • USB Interface: USB Version 2.0 Full speed (11 Mb/s).
Environmental Conditions:
  • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to +55 °C.
  • Non-operating Temperature: –25 °C to +85 °C.
  • Humidity: 15% to 95% RH at up to +30 °C, non-condensing.
  • Altitude: Operating up to 3,000 m, non-operating up to 15,000 m.
Physical Characteristics:
  • Dimensions: Vary by model, e.g., PSM5110 has a diameter of 48 mm and length of 62 mm.
  • Weight: Varies by model, e.g., PSM5110 weighs 109 g.
Warranty and Calibration:
  • Warranty: 3 years.
  • Calibration Interval: Recommended annually.
Ordering Information:
