The V3500A Handheld RF Power Meter is a compact, handheld instrument that
makes accurate RF power measurements in both field and manufacturing applications.
With an absolute accuracy as good as ±0.21dB, a wide frequency range
of 10 MHz to 6 GHz, and a measurement range of -63 dBm to +20 dBm, the V3500A
is suitable for a wide variety of RF measurement applications. Its built-in
power sensor eliminates the need for users to carry both an instrument and
a separate sensor module. Truly portable, the V3500A fits easily into your
hand or a toolkit. An optional belt loop holster or carrying case with shoulder
strap is also available. To optimize flexibility, it is capable of drawing
operating power from batteries (two AA, not included), an AC adapter, or a computer
via USB interface.
In the laboratory, it can be used as an RF power data-logger. Using normal
or high speed mode, it easily captures and transfers data to your personal
computer through its built-in USB interface (cable supplied), allowing for
trend or drift analysis.
The V3500A incorporates several handy and practical utilities that make it
easier than ever to attain high quality RF measurements with this handheld
instrument. Compensate the display reading for any losses or gains between
the location where the level of power is desired and the actual point where
the power can be measured. Typically the compensation will be required for
cable loss. The relative offset factor can be as large as 99.99 dB, and the
offset can be programmed with a resolution of 0.01 dB. A number of averaging
values can be used when the signal you want to measure varies significantly
with time. A hold command saves a measurement that is made in a hard to reach
area until the instrument can be retrieved. A backlight can be illuminated
when making measurements in poorly lit areas. To maximize battery life, the
V3500A can be set up to turn off the backlight or the instrument entirely after
a specific period of time. Once the instrument utilities are setup in the manner
you prefer, the instrument state can be saved for the next use.
