4314C

Broadband RF Wattmeter with Peak Envelope & Pulsed Power

The 4314C, PEP Single Element RF Wattmeter provides accurate forward and reflected power in 50 Ohm coaxial reansmission lines providing instant readings or continuous monitoring. Bird's Plug-In elements determine the power rating and the frequency range so there is no need for calibration charts or instrumentation adjustments.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• Insertion-type instrument designed to measure both forward and reflected CW power in coaxial transmission lines under any load condition
• Full-scale accuracy of ±5%
• QC (quick change) type connectors
• Full range of plug-in elements provide a wide choice of frequency ranges and power levels

BENEFITS

• Measures power as it is being delivered to the load; allows the power meter to be kept in the circuit as the load is active
• Rugged metal housing for the most demanding environments
• Remote installation with removable RF line section
• High directivity and accuracy measurements needed for exceptional system performance

4314C  Portable Wattmeter - Same Elements as Model 43

• Accurate CW and Peak Envelope (PEP) field power measurement
• over the range 450 kHz to 2.7 GHz and 100 mW to 10 KW (elements not included).
• Pulse measurements down to 0.4 us (see full specs)
• Uses industry standard Bird 43 elements.
• Rugged metal housing for the most demanding environments.
• Quick Change (QC) connectors to minimize the need for adaptors when making critical measurements (Type N(F) Standard)

The Bird 4314C Wattmeter is similar to the Bird Model 43 Thruline Wattmeter but also contains electronic circuitry to accurately measure peak envelope power which is present in amplitude modulated signals such as AM broadcast, single sideband and TV video transmitters. The circuitry operates from 2 standard 9V alkaline batteries or an optional A.C. adaptor.
