RF and Power Measurement
Radio Frequency (RF) and Power Measurement Solutions
RF Power meters are used to measure the power within a frequency spectrum. Analog Devices offers a portfolio of advanced RF detectors, RF signal conditioning, high-speed ADCs, and integrated solutions that enable RF frequency and power measurement solutions from bench instruments to handhelds.
Value and Benefits
- Measures Complex Waveforms: RMS-DC and log RF detectors support sine to millimeter-wave signals.
- Enables RF Power Analysis: ADCs and processors meet high-frequency, wide-bandwidth demands.
- Optimizes Portable Design: ARM Cortex M3-based SoCs integrate high-res ADCs for handheld use.
- Improves Signal Efficiency: Tailored signal chains balance performance and cost.
