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. _Please contact for alternative solutions or recommended replacement models._ ##### [Features](#features-section) ##### [Specifications](#specifications-section) ##### [Options](#options) ##### [Tech Resources](#technical-resources-section) ##### [Media](#media-section) ##### [Downloable Resources](#downloadable-section) ##### [Price List](#pricelist-section) #### Overview ##### Features - 6 GHz, 8 GHz, 18 GHz and 40 GHz Power Sensors - Up to 195 MHz video bandwidth with 3 ns rise time - Real-Time Power Processing with zero dead time - 100,000 measurements per second - Power Analyzer Suite with advanced measurement and analysis software - Crest factor, CCDF and statistical measurements - 10 GS/s effective sample rate - 100 MS/s continuous sample rate - Synchronized multi-channel measurements ##### Applications - Automated Test Equipment - Mobile Networks (4G, 5G, 6G, LTE) - WiFi, WiMAX - Research and Development - Manufacturing - Radar - Satellite - Telecommunications - Internet of things (Iot) - Quantum Computing - Amplifier Testing - Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) Testing - Orthoginal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) - Travelling Wave Tube Amplifier (TWTA) Testing #### Specifications ###### ##### Quick Specs | ##### **12206S** | ##### **12208S** | ##### **12218S** | ##### **12218L** | ##### **12240S** | ##### **12240L** | | | | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **RF Frequency Range** | 50 MHz to 6 GHz | 50 MHz to 8 GHz | 50 MHz to 18 GHz | 50 MHz to 18 GHz | 50 MHz to 40 GHz | 50 MHz to 40 GHz | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | **Rise Time (fast/std)** | 3 ns / < 10 μs | 4 ns / < 10 μs | 5 ns / < 10 μs | < 100 ns / < 10 μs | 5 ns / < 10 μs | < 100 ns / < 10 μs | | **Video Bandwidth (high/std)** | 195 MHz / 350 kHz | 165 MHz / 350 kHz | 70 MHz / 350 kHz | 6 MHz / 350 kHz | 70 MHz / 350 kHz | 6 MHz / 350 kHz | | | | | | | | | **Single-shot Bandwidth** | 35 MHz | 35 MHz | 35 MHz | 6 MHz | 35 MHz | 6 MHz | | | | | | | | | **RF Input** | Type N, 50 Ω | Type N, 50 Ω | Type N, 50 Ω | Type N, 50 Ω | 2.92 mm, 50 Ω | 2.92 mm, 50 Ω | | | | | | | | | **VSWR** | 1.25 | 1.25 | 1.34 | 1.34 | 2.00 | 2.00 | | | | | | | | Comparison between conventional power measurement sample processing and Real-Time Power Processing [ ![](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/wp-content/uploads/12200_graph_accumulated_microseconds.jpg) ](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/wp-content/uploads/12200_graph_accumulated_microseconds.jpg) Detector Envelope Tracking Response [ ![](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/wp-content/uploads/12100_pg_8.jpg) ](https://www.berkeleynucleonics.com/wp-content/uploads/12100_pg_8.jpg) Up to eight 12200 Series Real-Time Power Sensors can be supported by the Power Profile Software.
