SWR Power Meter

Description

SWR Power Meter

An SWR Power Meter is a measurement tool designed to determine both the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) and the RF power in transmission lines. It is widely used in radio communications, broadcasting, and antenna testing to assess signal quality and efficiency in a system by measuring forward and reflected power.

Electrical Specifications

• Frequency Range: Typically from 1 MHz to 3 GHz, depending on the model.
• Power Range: 1 watt to 5000 watts (varies with the sensor and model).
• Measurement Types: Measures forward power, reflected power, and SWR.
• Impedance: 50 ohms (common standard, but can vary).
• Accuracy: Typically ±5% of full scale for both power and SWR measurements.

Mechanical Specifications

• Display: Analog or digital display for showing both power and SWR readings.
• Connector Type: Commonly N-type, BNC, or UHF connectors.
• Portability: Compact design for easy field or lab use.
• Weight: Typically lightweight for ease of handling (varies by model).

Material and Environmental Specifications

• Durability: Constructed for reliable operation in harsh environments.
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to +50°C (depends on the model).
• Storage Temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
• Humidity Resistance: Operates effectively in environments with up to 90% relative humidity.

Key Features

• Measures both forward power and reflected power for detailed signal analysis.
• Provides SWR readings to help evaluate antenna system efficiency.
• Wide power range for various applications, from low to high-power systems.
• Compact and portable, making it ideal for field and lab use.
• Reliable accuracy for consistent performance and troubleshooting.
