Bird Technologies 5015 Datasheet

Terminating Power Sensor

5011, 5011-EF, 5015, 5015-EF Series

The Bird Terminating Power Sensor (TPS) is the easiest to use and most cost competitive terminating
sensor on the market. This one port measurement device will provide True Average Power for forward
power or reflected power if attached to a directional coupler or total power in the line if connected
to a non-directional coupler. The TPS is a true plug and play solution with no front panel calibration
required at any time.

The TPS is truly the most economical terminating sensor, half the price of our leading competitors.
Quite a value considering the TPS is a highly accurate (5%) device with calibration traceable to the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Now available in a USB compatible version.

PROBLEMS } SOLUTIONS
