Bird 5000-EX RF Digital Power Meter
The Bird 5000-EX RF Digital Power Meter operates over a broad frequency range, covering 2 MHz to 3600 MHz (based upon element selection). Coupled with the ability to measure True Average Power from 1 to 1000 Watts, the Model 5000 handles Cellular, PCS, AMPS, CDMA, GSM, TDMA, ISM, UMTS, 3G Wireless, WLL, Paging, Conventional/Trunked Radio, Aviation, Military, and Analog or Digital Audio and Television Broadcast.
The highly-visible, back-lit LCD display on the Bird 5000 RF Digital Power Meter simultaneously shows forward and reflected power or other selected parameters in digital format, while a 20-segment analog bar graph tracks forward power readings. Display annunciators show measurement mode, units, sensor type, overrange, battery condition, and "Speed Key" functions. Readings can be expressed as Watts, dB Return Loss and % Match Efficiency. VSWR is automatically calculated from forward and reflected power for fast, convenient antenna checks.
