Product Overview

ANRITSU MA2425B

The Anritsu MA2425B Power Sensor is a broadband microwave measurement sensor. It is used with the ML2430A Series of Power Meters. The Anritsu MA2425B provides excellent power measurement accuracy over 50 dB of dynamic range with more speed than any other thermal sensor available. Thermal sensors use Seebeck elements where the combined effect of a thermal gradient and charge migration between dissimilar metals gives a true reading of average power on any incident waveform. Anritsu thermal sensors have class-leading SWR and built in EEPROM with calibration factor and linearity correction data. This results in assured accuracy when measuring any signal. Anritsu’s fast thermal power sensors
improve sensor rise time and fall time to less than 4.0ms– an order of magnitude faster than previous thermal sensors. Settled power measurements are now 10 times faster; that means reduced test time.

Features and specifications of the MA2425B sensor include:

• 10 MHz to 50 GHz frequency range
• V(m) type RF connector
• 50 dB dynamic range provides stable power readings
• Provides measuring speeds to 4 ms rise and fall times in addition to exceptional return loss performance
• Contain internal EEPROMs for storage of calibration data as a function of frequency, power, and temperature. This allows the power meter to interpolate and correct readings automatically.
