Boonton Launches a New, Uniquely Capable and Flexible PMX40 RF Power Meter, Extending Its Power Measurement Leadership
May 11 2020 - 8:00AM
Boonton, a Wireless Telecom Group company (NYSE American: WTT),
announced the launch of the new PMX40 RF power meter, a uniquely
capable and flexible instrument which leverages its existing
portfolio of high performance USB power sensors and demonstrates
its global leadership in RF power measurement solutions. The new
meter delivers additional value to design engineers and technicians
by combining the utility of a traditional benchtop instrument, the
flexibility and performance of modern USB RF power sensors, and the
simplicity of a multi-touch display built with Boonton
award-winning technology. The PMX40 streamlines RF testing and
increases instrument versatility for broad use in the
semiconductor, military, aerospace, medical, and communications
industries.
"The PMX40 is the result of customer-driven
continuous innovation and delivers an ideal solution, combining the
superior performance and flexibility of our USB power sensors
seamlessly integrated with benchtop capability and touch screen
simplicity. Ensuring straightforward and easy access to this
powerful measurement tool, power sensors connect through standard
USB ports for quick plug and play, requiring no proprietary
cables," says Walt Strickler, General Manager of Boonton.
The PMX40 and associated sensors cover a
frequency range from 4 kHz to 40 GHz and provide industry-leading
performance in a number of areas including the widest video
bandwidth of 195 MHz, quickest rise time at 3 ns, fastest
measurement rate at 100,000 measurements per second, and finest
100-ps time resolution. Sensors can be easily connected to the
PMX40’s front or rear panels through standard USB ports for
independent use or synchronized multi-channel measurements of
continuous wave (CW), modulated, and pulsed signals. The
instrument’s intuitive, multi-touch display enables quick access
and configuration of up to four sensors as well as all measurement
and analysis tools, providing a standalone solution for capturing,
displaying, and analyzing peak and average RF power in both the
time and statistical domains. Additional PMX40 features include a
variety of trigger capabilities and communication interfaces to
enable a wide range of measurements that address the most
challenging test requirements, as well as a front panel test source
for fast verification of sensor operation.
The PMX40 offers new customers ultimate
flexibility due to the range of Boonton RF power sensors and added
convenience for existing Boonton USB sensor users. The new meter
works with existing Boonton USB sensors covering 4 kHz to 40 GHz.
Existing Boonton customers can utilize their USB sensors with the
PMX40 without adapters or speciality cables to create an instant
benchtop experience, including access to the meter through LAN
connectivity. Conversely, purchasers of the PMX40 and sensors can
repurpose the sensors as standalone instruments when connected to a
PC. Control is available through fully-featured downloadable
Boonton Power Analyzer or Boonton Power View software packages, or
directly through robust APIs. Power Analyzer provides control,
measurement configuration, and advanced analysis. It includes USB
drivers, remote control API, firmware updater, and a simulation
mode available to preview functionality when a sensor is not
available. Power Viewer offers a simplified user interface for
making average power measurements in seconds.
The Boonton PMX40 Power Meter utilizes Boonton
RTP and CPS families of USB RF power sensors with industry leading
performance and capabilities. All RTP sensors incorporate the
unique Boonton Real-Time Power Processing™ technology, which
virtually eliminates gaps in measurement suffered by other power
sensors and enables industry best measurement speeds. In terms of
RF performance, the RTP5000 series Real-Time Peak Power Sensors are
the fastest responding sensors with 3 ns rise times and 195 MHz of
video bandwidth. The RTP4000 series Real-Time True Average Power
Sensors enable the lowest frequency measurements for diode-based
average power measuring sensors and can make accurate measurements
virtually independent of signal modulation bandwidth. CPS sensors
offer flexible connectivity and performance leadership at an
excellent price point.
With the PMX40, Boonton continues to build on
its position as a leader in high performance RF and microwave test
equipment for radar, avionics, electronic warfare, satellite
communications, wireless connectivity, and EMI/EMC applications.
Used across the semiconductor, military, aerospace, medical, and
communications industries for more than 70 years, Boonton products
enable a wide range of RF power measurements and signal analysis
for RF product design, production, maintenance, and system
integration. The Boonton product portfolio is designed and
assembled in the USA and includes peak and average RF power meters,
Real-Time USB power sensors, USB/LAN power sensors, RF voltmeters,
modulation analyzers, and audio analyzers.
