The Keysight U2000A is a high-performance USB average power sensor designed to operate over a wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 18 GHz. By eliminating the need for a separate power meter mainframe, it provides a compact, portable, and cost-effective solution for RF and microwave power measurements directly via a PC or compatible Keysight instrument.
