Power Sensors

Power sensors measure RF power levels across a variety of signals, including single-tone, multitone, and wideband waveforms. Engineers use them to validate transmitter performance, support wireless standard compliance, and perform power integrity checks in applications such as Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G testing.

Key considerations include frequency range, power range, dynamic range, measurement speed, and accuracy. Engineers should also evaluate connectivity options, integration with automated test systems, compatibility with software tools for data logging and analysis, and calibration requirements.

Yes. NI power sensors measure RF power for a wide range of signals, including 5G, burst waveforms like Wi-Fi, and multislot formats such as GSM. They provide accurate power measurements for wideband and complex digital waveforms used in advanced communication technologies.

NI power sensors provide fast, accurate measurements and integrate seamlessly with PXI-based test systems. They support high-speed data acquisition and work with NI software environments like LabVIEW, enabling automated workflows, real-time monitoring, and efficient analysis for complex RF applications.
