Measuring RF Power
The FlightHawk-AV includes an RF power meter application. The Bird RF Meter is
an Android App which allows the FlightHawk-AV to be used with the Bird 5017D-
AV RF Power Sensor available in the FlightHawk RF Test Set. To measure
transmitter RF power, connect the power sensor to the FlightHawk-AV. RF Power
measurements verify and monitor the condition of a transmitter system. See
"RF Power Measurement" on page 48
for details on how to use the Bird RF
Meter App.
Wideband Power Sensor
The Bird 5017D-AV Wideband Power Sensor will perform measurements within
a frequency range of 100 - 1300 MHz. The 5017D-AV is a Thruline sensor that
can be used to further diagnose aircraft RF component integrity. The 5017D-AV
can be used with the Bird FlightHawk-AV by launching the Bird RF Power Meter
App. See
"RF Power Measurement" on page 48
. The Power Sensor may also be
used with a PC by using the Bird Virtual Power Meter Software (VPM3).
Termination
Bird's RF termination is a high-quality, robust termination with a conservative
power rating. The load is made of non-magnetic materials. Model 25-T-MN is
rated to 4 GHz and 25 Watts.
