Agilent / Keysight E9323A E-Series Peak and Average Power Sensor, 50 MHz to 6 GHz

The Agilent/Keysight E9323A is a peak and average power sensor for RF and microwave measurements from 50 MHz to 6 GHz. It delivers simultaneous peak, average, and time-domain power characterization across a dynamic range of -60 dBm to +20 dBm, with dual measurement paths optimized for different signal conditions. The normal measurement path handles peak, average, and time-related metrics across -40 dBm to +20 dBm.

The average-only path extends low-level sensitivity to -60 dBm, ideal for complex modulated signals below -20 dBm or true average power measurement. A 5 MHz video bandwidth makes this sensor particularly suited for W-CDMA and cdma2000 characterization.
