4240 Series

4240 Series

The 4240 series of CW RF power meters provides the high speed measurement capability needed in a production environment, as well as the simplicity of operation required for bench top use. It provides very accurate measurements from -70 dBm to +44 dBm (sensor dependent) and has a rapid display update rate for tuning applications. The easy to read LCD displays both channels simultaneously with numeric and bar graph information.
