Specifications Common to all Sensors
Bird 4020 Series RF Power Sensors
CAUTION
Changing the sensor’s connectors will invalidate calibration data, and may
reduce the maximum power rating of the unit.
Impedance, Nominal 50 ohms
Max. Allowable Terminating
VSWR
2.00:1
Calibration Technique Frequency-specific calibration factors stored in
nonvolatile memory in each sensor. Sensor output
corrected for frequency and temperature within
specified ranges.
Accuracy, Reflected Calculated from FWD accuracy and FWD power
Accuracy, VSWR Calculated from FWD and RFL power
Sampling Rate, Nominal 2 readings/second
Operating Power Supplied by power meter via sensor cable
