Overview
Bird® Model 43 RF Wattmeter - The Industry Standard
The 43 Wattmeter is a field-proven portable, insertion-type instrument designed to measure both forward and reflected CW power in coaxial transmission lines under any load condition. With a full-scale accuracy of ± 5%, it accurately measures RF power with low added VSWR and insertion loss. QC (quick change) type connectors and a full range of plug-in elements provide a wide choice of frequency ranges and power levels giving the Model 43 amazing flexibility. Two extra elements can be stored in the housing, one on each side.
- Accurate CW field power measurement over 450 kHz to 2.7 GHz and 100 mW to 10 kW
- Uses industry standard Bird elements with space to store 2 additional within the meter housing
- Rugged metal housing for the most demanding environments
- Quick Change (QC) connectors to minimize the need for adapters when making critical measurements
