Bird 5000-NG – Digital RF Power Meter Display

• Frequency range: 2 MHz to 6 GHz
• Automatic sensor detection that works with over 12 supported Bird field sensors
• Power sensors sold separately
• Quickly measure True Average Power, VSWR, Return Loss, and more
• 48 hours of battery life for extended use

Bird’s new 5000-NG RF Power Meter Display transforms the way you perform RF power meter testing. A giant leap forward, this hand-held portable meter captures, collects, and displays RF power measurements on a touch screen, high-resolution display, allowing you to review quickly and easily data in the field or in an R&D lab environment.

Operating over a broad frequency range using one of Bird’s USB RF power sensors, the 5000-NG allows you to quickly measure True Average Power, VSWR, Return Loss, and more.

This fully digital power meter automatically detects the sensor in use and saves session information. Take RF power measurements, enable smoothing level for more stable readings, or max hold to detect the maximum power. Bird’s new portable lightweight tablet features a large, sunlight readable color touch screen. This easy-to-use, intuitive interface saves time and ensures a fast-learning curve for technicians.

Key measurements when paired with compatible Bird power sensor

• True Average Power (Forward and Reflected)
• VSWR, Return Loss, rho, Match Efficiency
• Peak Power, Peak to Average Ratio, Crest Factor, PEP
