The Boonton 4532 RF Peak Power Meter combines the accuracy of a laboratory-grade instrument with the speed required for production test. This power meter employs proprietary measurement techniques that accurately measure digitally-modulated signals. Whether you’re measuring CW power or the peak power of W-CDMA or HDTV signals, Boonton’s dual-channel Model 4532 is the logical choice for high-volume production test.
