Overview
The Boonton 57006 Peak Power Sensor is a high-performance RF power sensor designed for accurate peak power measurements across a wide frequency range. Operating from 500 MHz to 6 GHz, it offers fast response times and a broad dynamic range, making it well suited for engineers and technicians working with pulsed or complex RF signals.
With a dynamic input power range of -50 dBm to +20 dBm in peak mode, the sensor can capture both very low and relatively strong RF signals with excellent precision. Its fast rise time of less than 7 ns allows for detailed analysis of transient RF events and statistical signal behavior, making it a reliable tool for advanced RF measurement applications.
