Directional RF Power Sensor - USB Connector
The Bird 5014 RF Power Sensor is the most flexible RF sensor on the market today. With this
Dual-Socket, Thruline® sensor, you may select from a wide range of Bird Elements to tailor the unit to
your needs over a wide range of frequencies and power levels. Also, select field changeable input and
output RF connectors from dozens of types including (N, BNC, HN, 7/16 DIN). Operate your sensor our Bird 5000-NG Digital Power Meter or via a computer with our windows compatible VPM3 Software and RF Meter App.
The DPS measures True Average Power and/or Peak Power with exceptional accuracy that is traceable
to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is also a highly economical RF power
measurement tool offering reliable results for hundreds, not thousands of dollars.
