Model 12200 Series | Pulse/CW Real-Time Peak RF Power Sensors [Obsolete]
The Model 12200 series of real-time, pulse profiling power sensors are the performance leaders in RF and microwave peak power measurement. They offer industry-leading performance with the widest video bandwidth, fastest rise times, finest time resolution, narrowest minimum pulse widths, highest pulse repetition rates, and superior measurement reading rates. In addition, the 12200 series sensors incorporate BNC’s unique real-time processing technology.
With superior performance and a small form factor, the Model 12200 series is ideal for many purposes ranging from design and verification, through manufacturing, to field installation and maintenance. The sensors are trusted by engineers and technicians at industry-leading companies to measure pulsed, bursted, and/or modulated signals used in commercial and military radar, electronic warfare (EW), wireless communications (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, and 5G), and consumer electronics (WLAN), as well as education and research applications.
