The Anritsu ML2437A (ML2400A Series) is a single-input bench/field power meter that combines thermal-sensor accuracy, diode-sensor speed, and peak-power display graphics. It supports MA/MP-series power sensors (100 kHz to 65 GHz, sensor dependent), offers >35 kS/s sampling and up to 90 dB dynamic range with a single sensor, and is offered in a ruggedized housing with an optional high-capacity NiMH battery for field use.
