Product Overview

Model 2818A RF Power Transfer Standard (necessary optional items not shown)

Utilizing AE-TEGAM’s transfer standard techniques applied to an internally referenced

thermoelectric sensor, the 2818A performs faster while retaining excellent overall performance

and accuracy.

With a USB communication port, the 2818A operates without a power meter. Using PS-CAL

paired with a PC both for data collection and as a digitized power meter, you retain the benefit of

making manual measurements when you want them and collecting data automatically when a

visual power reading is not needed.

The 2818A is EEPROM based. This means that calibration constants are stored within the sensor,

eliminating the need for a separate electronic data media.
