Bird has a long history of providing highly accurate RF power measurement. We created the market more than 60 years ago with the Model 43 and now offer dozens of models of field and laboratory power sensors. These sensors can provide a wide range of measurements with excellent accuracy at power levels up to 50kW. As always, the Bird sensors are extremely easy-to-use and are plug and play with our line of meters and proprietary PC software applications.

BDS Series, Bird Diagnostic System		5000-XT Hand-Held Digital Power Meter
The Bird Diagnostic System (BDS) is a revolutionary tool for measuring voltage and current in complex applications. In applications where repeatability of sensitive RF measurements are required, like semiconductor process tools, the BDS gives access to data never-before seen. Using a streamlined architecture, the BDS is able to measure multiple fundamental, harmonic and intermodulation frequencies while maintaining the phase angle of each measurement.		Bird's new 5000-XT, Digital Power Meter has been designed from the ground up with the user in mind. It is ideal for technicians and engineers who need to make RF power measurements, in the laboratory or field. The Bird 5000-XT is very easy to operate and includes features such as data logging, long (up to 60 hours) battery life, one-hand operability, interoperability with all existing and legacy Bird field sensors and an intuitive, menu-driven interface available in multiple languages.
