The Spanawave/Giga-tronics 8542C Dual Channel Universal Power Meter combines accuracy, speed, range and measurement capability.

Built-in features such as power sweep calibration and frequency calibration factors provide an unequaled degree of measurement accuracy. The 8540C Series Power Meters have the speed and range to meet the throughput demands of high-volume manufacturing. And the meters can measure the CW, peak and true average power of the complex modulated signals used in EW, radar and communication systems.
