The MA24106A power sensor is a highly accurate instrument that communicates with a PC using the Universal Serial Bus
interface (USB). Its measurement capability mimics a traditional thermal (thermo-electric) power sensor, but has a wider
dynamic range. Therefore, the MA24106A is ideal for measuring average power of CW, multi-tone, and modulated
RF waveforms such as 3G, 4G, and OFDM. It measures true RMS power regardless of the type or bandwidth of the
input signal.
 
  The sensor employs a “dual-path” architecture to achieve 63 dB of dynamic range. Highly accurate modulation
measurements are facilitated by keeping the diode detectors in the “square law region” and by choosing the output of the appropriate detector path. A built-in attenuator provides excellent SWR performance thus minimizing mismatch error. The presence of a micro-controller along with signal conditioning circuitry, ADC, and power supply in the sensor makes it a complete miniature power meter. Data display, acquisition and post processing (offset corrections, averaging etc.) occurs in the PC. The Anritsu Power Meter application for personal computers running Microsoft® Windows® can be used to control and operate the sensor providing the user with a familiar power meter interface with advanced features.
