The LB579A is a USB-powered RF and microwave power sensor designed for general-purpose average power and scalar measurements, covering frequencies from 10 MHz to 18 GHz with a dynamic range of -55 dBm to +20 dBm. It features a compact cylindrical housing measuring 1.6 inches in diameter and 2.8 inches in length, with a ruggedized USB connector. Accuracy is specified as 1.7% to 2.7% depending on frequency and connector type (N, SMA, or 3.5 mm), with a VSWR of 1.20:1 up to 10 GHz and 1.29:1 from 10 GHz to 18 GHz. It requires no user calibration or zeroing, operates from 0°C to 55°C, and supports measurements up to 2,000 per second. Triggering and analog recorder output are available as optional features. NIST-traceable calibration is factory-provided.
The LB579A is a high accuracy RF & Microwave Power Sensor for general purpose average power or True RMS and scalar measurements. The sensor features fast measurement speed and a broad dynamic range. LadyBug’s feature rich Power Meter Application is provided with each sensor. Access to the sensor’s features is easy making it suitable for ATE systems. The sensor is useful in research & development, manufacturing & service applications including radar, satellite and telecommunications.
Recommended for average power measurements on signals with any modulation type including: 802.11ac, gsm, cdma 2000, CDMA (IS-95), TDMA, Multi-Tone, OFDM, CW, QAM and more.
