Bird 5014 – Directional RF Power Sensor (2 MHz – 1 GHz, Element Dependent)

• Large selection of Bird Elements covers a wide range of frequencies and power levels
• Frequency Range: 2 MHz to 1000 MHz (element dependent)
• Power Range: 125 mW to 1 kW full (element dependent)
• **Elements sold separately**
• Field changeable RF connectors from dozens of types including N, BNC, HN, and 7/16 DIN

Bird’s 5014 Thruline directional power sensor is a flexible, power measurement solution that can be tailored to a multitude of applications. This dual-socket device measures true average power and peak power when paired with Bird elements for a measurement of a wide range of frequencies and power levels. Input and output RF connectors are field changeable and provide flexibility.

No field calibration is required and factory calibration is only suggested once per year. Calibration is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), providing additional confidence in sensor measurements.

Compatible devices :

• SK-6000-TC, 1-6000 MHz Cable & Antenna Tester
• SK-4500-TC, 1-4500 MHz Cable & Antenna Tester
• SK-200-TC, 300 kHz-200 MHz Cable & Antenna Tester
• 5000-XT, Digital Power Meter
• VPM3, Virtual Power Meter Software
• Bird RF Meter Application

The Bird 5014 utilizes elements in order to make power measurements. The forward element and the reflected element must be of the same series and the power rating of the forward element must be 10x the power rating of the reverse element.

Insert the forward element into the forward socket with its arrow pointing in the direction of forward power. Insert the reflected element into the reflected socket with its arrow pointing in the direction of reverse power.
