BIRD 5009 is a directional power sensor intended for use in coaxial transmission lines of 50 ohm nominal impedance. It utilizes elements to make power measurements and can be used with either 43 type or APM/DPM elements. The 43 type elements are normally used to measure peak power with an accuracy of +/‐8% of full scale as long as the signal meets certain requirements, such as a minimum pulse width and duty cycle. The APM/DPM elements can be used to measure average power in signals with a peak-to-average ratio close to 1:1.
