Keysight V3500A, PM1-class handheld power meter, 10 MHz to 6 GHz
The Keysight V3500A handheld RF power meter is a compact, portable instrument that makes lab quality RF power measurements in both field and R&D laboratory environments. With an absolute accuracy up to ±0.21 dB, a wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz, and measurement range of –60 dBm to +20 dBm, the V3500A is suitable for a wide variety of RF measurement applications. Its built-in power sensor eliminates the need for users to carry both an instrument and a separate sensor module, and the same sensor is used when duplicating tests or measurements for better repeatability. Truly portable, the V3500A fits easily into your hand or a toolkit and optional loop holster carrying case with shoulder strap is also available to fit your needs. To optimize flexibility, it’s capable of drawing operating power from batteries, an AC-DC converter module, or a computer via the USB interface. With its features and very attractive price, the V3500A truly redefines superior value.
