Testforce USABird Directional Thruline® Power Sensor
Flexible, Dual-Socket
Power Measurement
Thruline directional power sensor is a flexible, power measurement solution that can be tailored to a multitude of applications. This dual-socket device measures true average power and peak power when paired with Bird elements for a measurement of a wide range of frequencies and power levels. Input and output RF connectors are field changeable and provide flexibility. Sensor operates with the 5000-NG Power meter display or via a PC with the VPM3 software as well as the Android RF Meter App.
No field calibration is required and factory calibration is only suggested once per year. Calibration is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), providing additional confidence in sensor measurements.
