Compatible Power Sensors
Wideband Power Sensors (WPS)
5012D, 5016D, 5017D, 5018D, 5019D
The Bird Wideband Power Sensor (WPS) is a Thruline sensor that can be used to
diagnose RF component integrity. The WPS can be used with the Bird 5000-NG
by launching the Bird RF Power Meter Software.
These sensor’s connect via USB, see
See
"Wideband RF Power Sensor (WPS) Measurements" on page 48
.
7020
The Bird 7020 series sensors are Thruline sensors that can measure forward and
reflected average power and VSWR.
These sensor’s connect via USB, see
See
"7020 Sensor Measurements" on page 51
Directional Power Sensors (DPS)
5014
The 5014 sensor utilizes elements to make power measurements. Each element
has an arrow on it that represents the direction in which it measures power. The
elements ignore power in the opposite direction with a directivity of at least 25
dB.
The DPS series can make power measurements using either 43 type or APM/
DPM elements, and the readings available vary, based on which elements are
being used.
The frequency the 5014 is capable of measuring is dependent on the elements
used.
These sensor’s connect via USB, see
See
"Directional Power Sensor (DPS) Measurements" on page 52
.
Statistical Power Sensors
The Bird Statistical Power Sensor (7022) is a Thruline sensor that can measure
Average, Real Time, Peak and Statistical power. The frequency range of the 7022
is 350 MHz to 6 GHz.
These sensor’s connect via USB, see
See
"Statistical Power Sensor Measurements" on page 54
