E9322A

Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP)Power Sensors

The Keysight E9322A (formerly Agilent) is a high-performance peak and average power sensor operating from 50 MHz to 6 GHz. Featuring a 1.5 MHz video bandwidth and a wide dynamic range, the E9322A is optimized for time-gated measurements on TDMA and CDMA wireless formats such as Bluetooth and cdmaOne. It contains a built-in EEPROM for storing calibration data and works seamlessly with the EPM-P and P-Series power meters.
