7020 Series Power Sensor
Bird’s® new 7020 Power Sensor is an economical plug and play solution to your power measurement
needs. The 7020 determines and reports Forward and Reflected True Average Power and VSWR over a
wide frequency range of 350 MHz to 4.0 GHz. It also never requires field calibration, only requires
factory calibration once per year, and is traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).
PROBLEMS } SOLUTIONS
Have analog, digital, and multi-carrier signals to measure
} Modulation independent measurements
Tight budget
} Inline device, no directional coupler required
} Complimentary Virtual Power Meter (VPM2) application
Downtime is unacceptable
} Monitor and perform maintenance for monitoring while
DUT is in-service
} Measure forward and reected power to troubleshoot
system failures
Varying eld tech skill levels
}Sensor plugs and plays with multiple display devices
Need condence in measurement
} No eld calibration required
} NIST traceable calibration
