DESCRIPTION:

The Bird Technologies 5017D-AV Wideband Power Sensor is a robust RF measurement device designed for reliable average power readings from 500 mW up to 500 W and extended peak power capability up to 1300 W. With a wide frequency response and strong dynamic range, the 5017D-AV delivers repeatable forward and reflected power measurements for a range of RF systems.

Engineered with rugged RF front-end components and detector circuitry, this sensor maintains measurement stability across environments in the laboratory, production floor, and field installations. The extended peak power handling makes the 5017D-AV suitable for systems where high transient or pulsed peak events occur, such as in high-power transmitters, broadband amplifiers, and industrial RF equipment.

Key Features

• Wideband RF power sensor covering a broad RF frequency range

• Average power measurement from 500 mW to 500 W

• Peak power handling up to 1300 W

• Supports forward and reflected power measurements

• Rugged, repeatable performance for lab, field, and industrial use

• Compatible with Bird power measurement platforms and accessories

Typical Use Suitability:
Ideal for high-power RF system monitoring and testing, especially where elevated peak power events need to be measured in addition to average forward and reflected power — e.g., high-power transmitters, broadband RF amplifiers, and industrial RF installations.
