Digital & Continuous Wave (CW)

Portable RF Wattmeters

4480A, Element-Free, Digital-Ready RF Power Meter

Bird’s newest 4480A Power Meter eliminates the need for elements, offering a plug-and-play solution that supports both CW and digital transmissions. It’s perfect for users who need fast, accurate measurements across a broad frequency range.

• Ultimate Accuracy: ±4% precision ensures your RF systems operate efficiently and reliably.
• Broad Frequency Coverage: From 2 MHz to 1000 MHz, the 4480A meets the demands of any RF application.
• High Power Capacity: Handles power levels up to 10,000 watts, making it one of the most versatile wattmeters available.
• Element-Free Design: No need for frequency-specific components, simplifying your operations.
• Supports CW & Digital Transmissions: Accurately measures both Continuous Wave and digitally modulated signals, ensuring flexibility across applications.

APM-16, Average Reading RF Wattmeter

APM-16 Average Reading Wattmeter is designed to keep pace with the ever growing complexity of digitally-based communication systems. The APM-16 employs active circuitry to deliver accuracy of ±5% for multiple-access technologies such as CDMA, TDMA, FDMA and other digitally-encoded communication systems.

• Designed especially for RF power management in PCS, cellular, ESMR, paging and similar communiction systems.
• Equally effective for measuring RF power in conventional analog systems.
• Uses APM-series plug-in elements to cover a wide range of frequency and power levels. Simple Thruline style operation for instant forward or reflected power readings.
• Interchangeable QC connectors for fast hook-up.
