USB power measurement（option）

Users may choose AV8723X Series USB power sensor produced by the 41st Institute for power measurement, which can test the RF/microwave power at frequency up to 40GHz.

Power Monitoring（option）

Frequency range of power test is from 100 KHz to 20 GHz. And power measurement of signal is available by spectrum input interface.

Vector Voltage Measurement（option）

Frequency range of vector voltage measurement is from 1 MHz to 20 GHz. The analyzer can achieve accurate test of cables or other tested pieces by adopting integration scheme instead of traditional vector voltage meter.
