Description
The MA246XD fast diode sensors from Anritsu have a rise time of 0.6 µs. This,
together with a sensor video bandwidth of 1.25 MHz, makes them the ideal solution
for power measurements on N-CDMA (IS-95) signals. The MA246XD sensors
can be used with the ML2407A/08A (obsolete products), ML2430,
ML2480, and ML2490 series power meters. This combination of meter and sensor
provides fast signal processing and sampling speeds. Average power, peak
power and crest factor on N-CDMA signals can be measured and displayed. The
MA246XD are dual diode sensors that deliver a greater than 80 dB dynamic
range, which makes them suitable for both open and closed-loop power-control
testing. Pulses down to 1 µs can also be captured and displayed, thanks to the
sensor rise time of 0.6 µs. In profile mode the meter can be used to measure
average power across narrow pulses, an increasingly common test method for
amplifiers in digitally modulated systems.
