The PFA-127 represents a new category of measurement instrument, combining microwave frequency analysis, RF power measurement, pulse analysis, and time interval measurement into a single, highly capable platform. Rather than requiring multiple instruments to characterize modern RF signals, users can now perform critical measurements simultaneously and in real time.

A New Concept in Microwave Analysis
The PFA-127 measures microwave frequency and RF power in parallel up to 27 GHz while also analyzing pulse parameters such as Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI) and Pulse Width. Continuous wave (CW), modulated, and pulsed signals can all be analyzed within the same instrument. Supported modulation types include FM, FSK, and AM, providing engineers with a complete view of signal behavior.
A key innovation is the ability to simultaneously measure multiple RF characteristics that traditionally required separate instruments and separate test setups. Engineers can monitor frequency, power, and pulse behavior together, enabling faster troubleshooting, more comprehensive characterization, and improved understanding of complex microwave signals.
