Bird 4480A RF Wattmeter for ensuring radio readiness

The Bird 4480A Power Meter offers element-free, precise RF power measurements for CW and digital signals. It’s designed for ease of use, delivering reliable performance across a wide range of applications.

Key Features:

Element-Free Operation for simplified measurements.
Supports CW & Digital Signals, perfect for modern RF systems.
User-Friendly Interface for easy navigation and control.

New In-line power measuring equipment intended for

Measuring incident and reflective power levels in watts for frequency ranges

  •  [2 MHz – 30 MHz] 10 W to 10 kW continuous
  •  [25 MHz - 1000 MHz] 1 W to 1 kW, continuous
  • Peak to Average Ratio 10dB
  • Directivity 25dB
  • Enhanced precision up to ±4% accuracy achieved without requiring elements.

 
Purpose: Ensuring radio readiness.

Connection: Inline RF power measurements between the transmitter output (RF source) and the load or antenna.

Measurement Capabilities:

  • Incident (forward) RF power
  • Reflected (reverse) RF power

Advancements Over 4410A:

  • Replaces the 4410A model.
  • No longer requires Bird’s elements.
  • Offers enhanced accuracy in field operations.

 

Element-less design streamlines field operations by reducing maintenance needs and enhancing reliability, allowing personnel to focus on mission-critical tasks without the complexity of managing interchangeable parts
