Isotropic E-field probe - 100 kHz to 6 GHz, True RMS: WPF6 | Wavecontrol

The WPF6 is an isotropic electric field probe designed for broadband RF field measurements from 100 kHz to 6 GHz. It is intended for use with compatible Wavecontrol measurement platforms such as SMP2, MonitEM and MapEM.

Based on True RMS diode technology, the WPF6 provides reliable electric field assessment for RF exposure evaluation, telecom site audits, industrial safety measurements, defence environments and laboratory applications.

Avantages

• Wide frequency coverage: 100 kHz to 6 GHz for common RF, telecom, broadcast and wireless measurement environments.

Pourquoi choisir WPF6

The WPF6 is a suitable choice when a measurement campaign requires a compact isotropic probe with wide RF coverage, high sensitivity and True RMS measurement. Its flat frequency response and low isotropic deviation make it appropriate for controlled RF exposure assessment across telecom, industrial, defence and laboratory environments.

For higher field levels, the WPF6-HP version extends the CW measurement range up to 1000 V/m, while keeping the same frequency coverage, sensor technology, calibration approach, dimensions and compatibility.
