DESCRIPTION:
The Bird Technologies 5017D Wideband Power Sensor is a precision RF measurement device engineered to measure average power from 500 mW up to 500 W, with the capability to handle peak power levels up to 1000 W. Designed for broad frequency coverage and strong dynamic range, the 5017D delivers accurate forward and reflected power readings across general RF applications.
Its broadband design eliminates the need for band-specific filters, enabling use across multiple RF bands without recalibration, while the robust RF path and detector circuitry ensure performance stability in laboratory, field test, and industrial environments. This sensor is ideal for systems requiring both high average and high peak power capability — such as transmitters, amplifiers, and broad-spectrum RF equipment.
