The LB5918A is a True-RMS power sensor for RF and microwave applications, designed for accurate average power measurements across signals of any modulation type. It features a Type-N male connector, operates from 1 MHz to 18 GHz, and has a calibrated dynamic range of -60 dBm to +26 dBm. The sensor has a typical VSWR of 1.10:1 and maintains thermal stability without requiring user zeroing or calibration. It supports USBTMC and USB HID interfaces, is SCPI command compatible, and includes PMA-12 software for measurement and analysis. The device has a maximum continuous average power handling of +26 dBm and a damage level of +29 dBm. Physical dimensions are specified with a tolerance of ±0.063", and it operates from 0°C to 55°C with a recommended calibration cycle of one year.
The LB5918A is a high accuracy, platform independent RF & Microwave Power Sensor for general purpose average power or True RMS and scalar measurements. The sensor features exceptionally fast measurement speed, a broad dynamic range, and the widest set of options for programmatic and embedded applications in the industry. LadyBug’s feature rich Power Meter Application is provided with each sensor. Time domain trace visibility is included and aids in setting markers. 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.
