USB power sensors take 3,500 readings/s

Providing the peak and average power measurement capabilities of a power meter, the U2020 X-series USB power sensors are capable of taking 3,500 readings/s or higher, said to be the fastest speeds attainable by such devices today. The product’s measurement speed, along with its internal zero and calibration function, let users maximize test efficiency and reduce test cost in areas such as high-volume component manufacturing.

The sensors come in two versions: 50 MHz to 18 GHz U2021XA and the 50 MHz to 40 GHz U2022XA. Both models have built-in trigger functions that allow accurate triggering from small signals close to the signal noise floor. The trigger-out port lets users to perform data logging, while the video-output feature lets them use the units with an oscilloscope. For R&D, an N1918A Option 100 Power Analyzer PC license key is bundled with each sensor to provide access to PC software that performs complex pulse analysis similar to a power meter. (U2021XA, $6,700; U2022XA $7,100 — available now.)
