Bird 5010B Directional RF Power Sensor

Overview

The Bird 5010B is a directional RF power sensor designed for flexible RF power measurement from 2 MHz to 1000 MHz. It features a dual-socket design allowing selection from various Bird sensing elements and field-changeable RF connectors. The sensor operates with the Bird 5000-XT Digital Power Meter, VPM3 software, or directly via USB, and all measurements are traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Key Features

• Dual-socket Thruline design for interchangeable sensing elements
• Field-changeable RF connectors (N, BNC, HN, 7/16 DIN, and others)
• Measures true average forward power, true average reflected power, and peak power
• Calculates VSWR, Return Loss, and Reflection Coefficient
• NIST-traceable calibration, no field calibration required
• USB connectivity with included VPM3 software
• Plug-and-play operation with Bird 5000-XT meter

Applications

• RF system monitoring and troubleshooting
• Forward and reflected power measurement
• In-service maintenance and system diagnostics
