Gigatronics 8501 Microwave Peak Power Meter
The 8501 Microwave Peak Power Meter brings you an excellent combination of speed, accuracy, reliability and operator convenience. The versatile 8501 has the ability to accurately read pulses as narrow as 15ns, exceptionally accurate CW performance and menu driven control, and a completely automatic detector calibration system. The 8501 provides detailed information on both single and repetitive pulses as narrow as 15 ns, regardless of the shape of the pulse and anywhere within the 30 MHz to 40 GHz frequency range.
