Agilent/Keysight U2022XA

The Keysight U2022XA is a USB-connected average power sensor delivering peak and average power measurements across microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. This compact, portable instrument eliminates the need for external zeroing or calibration sources - internal DC reference and switching circuits perform both functions without disconnecting the device under test. Built-in radar and wireless presets support DME, GSM, EDGE, CDMA, WCDMA, WLAN, WiMAX, and LTE standards.

External trigger input and output connectors enable precise synchronization with signal sources and DUTs via standard BNC-to-SMB cabling.
