MA244xD Series MA2444D High Accuracy Diode Power Sensor (CW), 10 MHz to 40 GHz

High accuracy CW diode power sensor covering 10 MHz to 40 GHz with a -67 dBm to +20 dBm dynamic range and K(m) connector.

Frequency Range
10 MHz - 40 GHz
Video Bandwidth
100 kHz

Overview

The Anritsu MA2444D is a high accuracy diode power sensor in the MA244xD series, covering 10 MHz to 40 GHz. It is designed for use with the ML2430, ML2480 and ML2490 series power meters and is intended for high dynamic range, high accuracy CW and TDMA measurements.

The sensor has a built-in 3 dB attenuator that reduces input VSWR. This makes it suited to applications that need high measurement accuracy over a large dynamic range, such as amplifier measurements.

The MA244xD sensors have a dynamic range of 87 dB, compared with 90 dB for the MA247xD standard diode sensors. In all other respects their performance is the same as the standard diode sensor. Calibration factors are stored in the sensor's EEPROM.

Key Features

  • Wide dynamic range (-67 dBm to +20 dBm)
  • Accurate CW average power measurements
  • Frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 40 GHz
  • Built-in 3 dB attenuator to minimize input VSWR
  • Calibration factors stored in EEPROM
  • Precision K(m) RF connector with hexagon coupling nut for torque wrench attachment
