This isn’t just another product line—it’s where Bird built its name. Our wattmeters set the standard and still power critical systems in telecom, defense, broadcast, and beyond.
Built to last. Easy to trust. Proven for over 80 years.
RF power needs vary. Your tools should keep up.
Explore Bird Wattmeters
From our iconic CW analog meters, the gold standard for rugged, go-anywhere simplicity, to our digital wattmeters built for today’s complex, modulated signals, every Bird meter is engineered to deliver one thing: confidence in your measurements.
Digital Wattmeters
Real measurements. No guesswork.
The 4480A measures true average power and VSWR on both analog and digitally modulated signals—with ±4% accuracy, real-time feedback, and zero setup. Covering 2 MHz to 1000 MHz, it’s built for fast-moving RF environments where second-guessing isn't an option.
CW Wattmeters
The original standard wattmeter
Bird’s analog wattmeters have been the trusted tool for field techs, engineers, and service teams worldwide. Built to last and easy to use, they deliver accurate, no-nonsense RF power readings. Ideal for basic CW and FM signals, where reliability matters most.
Elements
Swappable in the field.
Bird’s plug-in elements work with CW wattmeters and line sections to provide frequency- and power-specific measurements. While not as fast to change as digital tools, they offer a modular, field-serviceable system that’s stood the test of time.
Line Sections
Built to fit. Engineered to last.
Bird line sections are machined for precision, built for longevity, and trusted across industries. Whether mounted on the bench or deployed in the field, they enable accurate, repeatable power readings when paired with the right element and meter.
Panel Mount
Built-in accuracy. Always on display.
Bird panel mount wattmeters are designed for real-time RF power visibility in rack-mounted and fixed installations. With a clear analog display and proven accuracy, they provide always-on measurement for transmitters, control panels, and embedded RF systems.
More Than Just a Wattmeter
RF power needs vary. Field techs need speed. Engineers demand accuracy. System operators count on uptime.
Bird delivers a complete line of RF power measurement tools—from our iconic CW analog wattmeters that have served the industry for decades, to advanced digital wattmeters engineered for today’s complex, modulated signals. Whether you're measuring basic average power or complex digital waveforms, Bird meters are built for accuracy, durability, and the real-world demands of RF professionals.
