Pendulum PFA-127, CW & Pulsed RF Power & Frequency Analyzer to 27GHz
Pendulum PFA-127 is a revolutionary new concept for CW & Pulsed RF Power & Frequency analysis up to 27 GHz.
Replace a Peak/Average power meter and a Frequency Analyzer in one single instrument. Track frequency and Power
vs. time in parallel on the graphic screen, for trend or modulation analysis, with high resolution up to 20 MSa/s.
PFA-127 features zero dead-time gap-free measurements, and includes also an outstanding 2-Ch. 400 MHz Time
Interval Analyzer with down to 14 ps resolution (7 ps optional).
New analysis features for Microwave R&D
- Track Frequency and Power changes simultaneously with ultra high resolution, down to 50 ns between sample
- Follow fast frequency changes, like Frequency Agile hopping frequencies, over up to 27 GHz analysis bandwidth
- Measure fast modulation like FM, PWM, FSK, BPSK, and AM on RF signals
- Pulsed RF analysis include simultaneous view of RF Pulse Width, PRI, Frequency in pulse, Power in pulse,
and Pulse-to pulse analysis of Width, PRI, Frequency, and Power
- Zero-dead-time gap-free measurements provide back-to-back measurements without losing any information,
even in a very long measurement sequence
- PFA-127 is a high-performance Modulation Domain Analyzer (MDA). Thanks to the high 20 MSa/s measurement speed,
very fast frequency or power level changes can be captured in real time. You can pan and zoom in the graphs with cursor readouts
- PFA-127 includes a powerful 2-channel base-band analyzer to 400 MHz, using the same time scale as the RF part.
This allows for example to time correlate external arming events with RF pulse timing, or to view/measure base band
frequency in parallel to an upconverted RF frequency.
