Keysight RF Power Meters

Videos

This video introduces Keysight’s comprehensive portfolio of power meters and sensors, engineered for accurate, stable, and fast RF power measurements across lab, production, and field environments. The portfolio spans average, peak, thermistor, and handheld power meters, as well as USB and LAN power sensors designed for seamless integration with computers and RF test equipment.

  • Average Power Meters support one to four channels with frequency coverage from DC to 220 GHz and dynamic range from –70 dBm to +44 dBm. They deliver wide dynamic range, exceptional repeatability, and enhanced stability for continuous‑wave (CW) testing.

  • Peak Power Meters capture fast transients and complex modulation with high sampling rates, advanced triggering, and time‑gated measurement capability—ideal for dynamic RF testing in modern wireless and radar systems.

  • Thermistor Power Meters offer the highest accuracy and temperature stability through self‑balancing measurement techniques. With 100 kHz to 18 GHz frequency coverage and –30 dBm to +10 dBm dynamic range, they are ideal for calibration and metrology labs. 

  • Handheld Power Meters combine a built‑in sensor, rugged form factor, and lab‑grade accuracy, supporting 10 MHz to 6 GHz and –63 dBm to +20 dBm dynamic range for fast, reliable field measurements without additional equipment.

USB and LAN Power Sensors provide standalone measurement capability without requiring a power meter mainframe. Covering DC to 120 GHz and supporting peak, average, and thermocouple technologies, they integrate directly with PCs, analyzers, and network equipment for flexible system design. 


Keysight’s power measurement ecosystem also includes a wide range of sensor technologies—diode sensors for high sensitivity and fast response, thermocouple sensors for superior stability, and waveguide sensors for high‑frequency specialty applications. Selecting the right sensor ensures accurate power characterization across CW, peak, pulsed, and modulated signals. 


Together, Keysight’s versatile range of power meters and sensors provides the precision, performance, and flexibility required for demanding RF and microwave testing across development, validation, manufacturing, and field operations.
