APM-16
Average Reading RF Wattmeter
RF Power Measurement for Modern Digital Signals
From LTE to narrowband analog, today’s RF signals demand more than an old‑school meter. The Bird APM‑16 delivers true average power readings for complex, digitally‑modulated signals no correction factors, no guesswork.
One meter. Any signal. Every time.
- Accurate with CDMA, LTE, OFDM, and mixed‑mode signals
- Switch from analog to digital without changing tools
- Trusted results to protect uptime and performance
- Uses APM-series plug-in elements to cover a wide range of frequency and power levels
Accurate Across Analog and Digital
Handles today’s modulated signals CDMA, TDMA, FDMA, paging, and more with ±5% accuracy, whether the waveform is analog or digitally encoded.
Element-Based Flexibility
Supports a wide range of frequencies and power levels through interchangeable APM-series elements ideal for users who manage varied equipment and need on-the-fly adaptability.
Thruline Style, Technician-Friendly
With a classic thruline design and interchangeable QC connectors, the APM-16 offers a familiar, intuitive user experience. Technicians can get precise forward and reflected readings without navigating menus or software.
