Boonton 5008 USB Peak Power Sensor 50 MHz- 8 GHz

The Boonton RTP5008 Real-Time Peak USB Power Sensor, which uniquely enables characterization of Wi-Fi 6 devices in the newly allocated 6GHz band (5.925 to 7.125GHz). The RTP5008 offers industry-leading performance with wide video bandwidth, fast rise times, fine time resolution, narrow minimum pulse widths, high pulse repetition rates, and superior measurement reading rates.  The RTP5008 has the capability to fully characterize WiFI 6 chipsets and modules at their highest level of performance, utilizing channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz in multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) configurations. Wi-Fi 6 is expected to offer faster data throughput, greater network efficiency, improved operation in dense or congested environments and extended battery life for client devices.  With frequency coverage up to 8 GHz and video bandwidth of 165MHz, the RTP5008 provides powerful RF measurement capabilities needed for Wi-Fi 6 chipset or module work.

The RTP5008 features 100ps time base resolution with an acquisition rate up to 100MSa/s, providing 50 points per division with a time base range as low as 5ns/div, gathering useful waveform information often missed by other power analyzers. Pulse widths as narrow as 10ns can be captured and characterized with outstanding trigger stability (< 100psRMS jitter). Engineers can utilize multiple sensors sharing a common time base to measure MIMO transmissions over a virtually unlimited number of data packets.  The RTP5008 can also be used with the Boonton PMX40 RF Power Meter to provide a standalone benchtop measurement experience.
