Product description

The Bird 4381 is a digital RF wattmeter for two-way communications, avionics, C³, radar and many other applications. At the push of a button, this new wattmeter can perform the following functions:
 

  • Read incident and reflected CW and FM power in watts or dBm
  • Read incident and reflected peak-envelope-power of SSB/DSB and symmetrical AM in watts
  • Read incident and reflected peak pulse power as narrow as 50 micro-seconds in watts
  • Calculate SWR, dB return loss, percent modulation
  • Remember peak and valley readings when adjustments for maximum or minimum signal levels are made
  • Over-range at least 20 percent beyond nominal full scale
Features
  • Frequency: 0.45 to 2700 MHz
  • Power: 100 mW to 10 kW with 20% over-range. Reads forward and reflected CW or FM power in watts or dBm, Peak Envelope Power or SSB/DSB and symmetrical AM in watts, and peak power for pulses as narrow as 0.8us Calculates SWR, return loss in dB and % modulation Stores peak and multi readings to facilitate adjustment of maximum and minimum signal levels Shock-resistant keyboard and range switches.
