RF and Microwave Power Sensors/Meters — Tektronix PSM3000, PSM4000, and PSM5000 Series

Select the Performance/Features to Meet Your

Needs

PSM3000 Series power sensors/meters provide true average power

measurements, giving accurate power measurements independent of signal

modulation and bandwidth. The PSM4000 Series delivers average power

(CW) measurements, and adds pulse and peak power measurements for

gathering basic data on pulsed RF and microwave signals. PSM5000

Series power sensors/meters provide the same measurements as the

PSM4000, and add pulse profiling capability for signal viewing and

characterization in pulsed RF and microwave systems.

A Broad Range of Pulse Envelope

Measurements

Tektronix PSM5000 Series products feature an easy-to-use, high

performance, pulse profiling, pulse (modulation), and CW power meter and

sensor in one. The PSM5000 Series product is specifically designed for

applications requiring time domain analysis of constant-envelope, repetitive

pulsed signals. It performs time domain pulse measurements such as

rise/fall time, overshoot, and droop that have typically required costly signal

analyzers. PSM5000 Series sensors use an equivalent time-sampling

technique to reconstruct repetitive, pulsed input signals. Repetitive pulses

with video bandwidthsup to10MHz canbemeasuredwithaneffective

sample rate of up to 48 MS/s.

Performance You Can Count On

In addition to industry-leading service and support, every PSM Series power

sensor/meter comes backed with a three-year standard warranty.
