Agilent/Keysight U2041XA

The Keysight U2041XA is a USB average power sensor delivering accurate measurements across 10 MHz to 6 GHz with a 96 dB dynamic range (-70 dBm to +26 dBm). Built for real-time RF and microwave power analysis, it captures up to 50,000 readings per second with zero dead time, ensuring every continuous pulse is measured. The sensor handles any modulated signal - including LTE and WLAN 802.11ac - with ±0.5 dB accuracy and 0.001 dB resolution.
