Boonton 4542 RF Power Meter Dual Channel with 10 kHz to 40 GHz Range, 200ps Time Resolution, and 70MHz Video Bandwidth

The Boonton 4542 RF Power Meter is the instrument of choice for capturing, displaying and analyzing RF signals. Applications include pulsed RF signals like radar or GSM-based technologies, as well as pseudorandom, noise-like signals such as CDMA, EVDO, WLAN, WiMAX, UMTS, HSPA, LTE, OFDM or HDTV.

Using Peak Power sensors, the Boonton 4542 can measure true average power of modulated waveforms, while providing important information about the instantaneous peak power value. Large digits allow clear, legible measurement reading. The 4542 has a 4" display providing high resolution and great detail of the signal trace.

The Boonton 4542 offers Pulse, Modulated/CW, and Statistical operating modes, making it well suited for all requirements of R&D, manufacturing and control operations. Features like high dynamic range, rise time of less than 7ns and an effective time resolution of 200 ps provide the greatest detail in signal waveform analysis. A variety of trigger settings, including pre and post trigger in combination with a high sampling rate allow the 4542 to capture any pulse. A wide range of power sensors and voltage probes is available for these instruments.
