Directional Power Sensor
5010B, 5014
The Bird Directional Power Sensor (DPS) is the most flexible RF sensor on the market today. With this
Dual-Socket, Thruline® sensor, you may select from a wide range of Bird Elements to tailor the unit to
your needs over a wide range of frequencies and power levels. Also, select field changeable input and
output RF connectors from dozens of types including (N, BNC, HN, 7/16 DIN). Operate your sensor with
either our new hand held display, the 5000-XT, or via a computer with our windows compatible
software tool the VPM3.
The DPS measures True Average Power and/or Peak Power with exceptional accuracy that is traceable
to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is also a highly economical RF power
measurement tool offering reliable results for hundreds, not thousands of dollars.
PROBLEMS } SOLUTIONS
Downtime is necessary .
} Monitor and perform maintenance for monitoring while
DUT is in-service.
} Measure forward and reected power to troubleshoot
system failures.
Over-spending on unneeded functionality.
} Interchangeable sensing elements.
} USB connectivity, no meter required.
} Complimentary Virtual Power Meter (VPM2) software.
Varying eld tech skill levels.
} Sensor plugs and plays with 5000-XT meter.
Need greater condence In measurement.
} No eld calibration required.
} NIST traceable calibration.
APPLICATIONS
DPS measures: True average power, peak power
Measurements performed: Standard elements; true average
forward power, true average reected power,
Peak detecting elements; peak forward power
Calculations performed: VSWR, Return loss, Reection
