Product Overview

RENT BOONTON 4500B Peak Power Analyzer (call for availability)

The Boonton 4500B Peak Power Analyzer is the ideal instrument for capturing, displaying, analyzing and characterizing RF power in both the time and statistical domains. It provides the flexibility to customize the display by allowing selection of the measurements or specific parametric settings and measurement indicators to be displayed and these measurements can be grouped to avoid clutter. The unique B trigger qualifier of the Boonton 4500B Peak Power Analyzer allows a user to qualify the trigger on a specific event or a specific delay time allowing a user-selected pulse to be captured, even when its timing is variable eliminating  problematic synchronization issues associated with time jitter within pulse bursts.
