Agilent/Keysight L2066XA

The Agilent/Keysight L2066XA is a LAN-connected wide dynamic range peak and average power sensor for precision RF measurements from 10 MHz to 54 GHz. It delivers real-time power measurements with zero dead time, capturing every pulse in continuous streams at rates up to 50,000 readings/sec. The sensor provides ≥90 dB dynamic range across its measurement band, with -70 to +20 dBm average power capability (10 MHz to 50 GHz) and -40 to +20 dBm peak power detection.
