Boonton RTP5000 Series Real-Time Peak Power Sensors

The Boonton RTP5000 Series Real-Time Peak Power Sensors measure RF and microwave power with a frequency range from 50 MHz to 40 GHz and support video bandwidths up to 195 MHz. Featuring Real-Time Power Processing™, these sensors provide gap-free signal acquisition, with rise times under 3 ns and a measurement speed of 100,000 readings per second. Automated pulse measurements include 16 power and timing parameters, making them suitable for radar testing, wireless communication, and electronic warfare applications. The RTP5000 series captures transient events and delivers accurate, high-speed power data in both benchtop and field environments.
