Anritsu MA2490A Pulse and Wideband Sensors

The MA2490A was designed as dual purpose Wideband and CW sensors. An FET switch is used to chop the signal from the sensor, to improve stability at low power levels, in CW mode. These sensors have 20 MHz video bandwidth and 18 ns rise time in the pulse modulated mode, and can be used to make average, peak and crest measurements on signals with rapid amplitude change such as W-CDMA, WLAN, WiMAX and radar.
