Keithley 3500 Portable RF Power Meter

Key Features and Specifications

• Broad 10MHz to 6GHz frequency range enables use in a wide variety of applications, including test of mobile phones and infrastructures, WLAN devices, RFID readers, and WiMax devices.
• Large dynamic range of +20dBm to -63dBm measures a wide variety of signals, either directly from the device-under-test or through layers of cabling and fixtures.
• Integrated power sensor eliminates the need to carry a separate sensor and makes it the most compact and truly portable RF power measurement instrument.
• Internal power reference enables self-calibration and eliminates the need for the user to perform an independent calibration before the instrument can be used.
• Absolute accuracy as good as ±0.21dB enables more precise characterization of devices, tighter test limits, and more accurate fixture calibration.
  

The Model 3500 Portable RF Power Meter is a compact, handheld instrument that makes lab quality RF power measurements in both field and R&D laboratory environments. With an absolute accuracy as good as ±0.21dB, a wide frequency range of 10MHz to 6GHz, and a measurement range of -63dBM to +20dBM, the Model 3500 is suitable for a wide variety of RF measurement applications. Its built-in power sensor eliminates the need for users to carry both an instrument and a separate sensor module, and the same sensor is used when duplicating tests or measurements for better repeatability. Truly portable, the Model 3500 fits easily into your hand or a toolkit; an optional belt loop holster or carrying case with shoulder strap is also available. To optimize flexibility, it's capable of drawing operating power from batteries, an AC-DC converter module, or a computer via the USB interface. With its features and very attractive price, the Model 3500 truly redefines superior value.
