RadiPower Burst/Pulse Powermeter
High frequent powermeter with pulse capacity
In 2010 DARE!! Instruments expanded the range of its RF power meters with a power meter that can perform very fast measurements on high-frequency pulse-shaped signals (RF burst): The RadiPower® RPR2006P pulsed power meter. Now this range is even further extended with a RF Burst/Pulse power head that can measure up to 18 GHz; the RPR2018P.
Both Burst/Pulse power heads are capable to measure with a speed of 1 million samples per second and store these readings in a 4.000 samples buffern (2.000 pre-trigger / 2.000 post trigger). This enables the user to visualize the high frequency pulse shape of very fast pulses, vizualizing pre-trigger and post trigger effects!
D.A.R.E!! Instruments has a wide range of RF/EMC test and measurement intstruments available, all based on the RadiCentre® EMC test system. This modular platform can be used for all test and measurement application ranging from a single instrument to a multi functional EMC test system. Several plug-in cards are available for the RadiCentre® EMC test system and the functionality can be arranged according to the wishes of the user. Among them are the RadiPower® RPR2006P Burst/Pulse power head (9 kHz - 6 GHz) and RPR2018P Burst/Pulse power head (80 MHz - 18 GHz)
Main specifications RPR2006P:
- Frequency range : 9 kHz - 6 GHz (CW/Pulse shape signals)
- Measuring speed : Maximum 1 Msample/s
- Dynamic range : -55 dBm to +10 dBm, useable to -60 dBm
Main specifications RPR2018P:
- Frequency range : 80 MHz - 18 GHz (CW/Pulse shape signals)
- Measuring speed : Maximum 1 Msample/s
- Dynamic range : -45 dBm to +10 dBm, useable to - 50 dBm
The RadiPower® is equipped with a USB interface which allows it to be directly connected to the USB port of your PC. A standard RadiMation® FREE freeware program is included. It is also possible to connect four RadiPower® power meters to the USB1004A plug-in card, which can be placed into the RadiCentre®. This makes it possible to measure both forward and reflected power of two amplifiers.
Pulse-shape recording mode
The RadiPower® RPR2006P and RPR2018P pulsed heads are able to measure power signals with a maximum rate of 1,000,000 samples per second and has an integrated measurement buffer of 4.000 samples, where the measured waveform is saved. This "recording mode" is very suitable to make specific high-frequency pulse-shaped signals transparent.

Applications Examples
The RPR2006P and RPR2018P can be used for both radiated and conducted RF power measurements in accordance with the standards EN 61000-4-3/-6 (CE marking), MilStd 461/462 and ISO11451-3/-4 (Automotive). Because of the pulse function the RPR1006P perfectly adopted for Radar Pulse RI-114 test according to the Ford standard EMC_CS_2009.
