Precision RF Power Monitoring for Broadcast Transmission Lines
The BDI DPS-100D-4 1/16D Digital RF Power Measurement System is a professional-grade RF monitoring solution designed to accurately measure forward and reflected power in broadcast transmission systems. Supplied with a 4-1/16" dielectric directional coupler, this system gives engineers clear, reliable insight into RF performance for both analog and digital signals, helping protect transmitters, antennas, and transmission lines.
Accurate Measurement for Analog and Digital RF Signals
Built for modern broadcast environments, the DPS-100D delivers RF power readings with accuracy within ±5% of the measured value. This makes it suitable for monitoring AM, FM, and digital broadcast signals where precise power verification is required for compliance, performance tuning, and fault detection. The system supports continuous measurement without interrupting transmission.
Integrated Digital Meter with Local Display
The DPS-100D electronics package includes an onboard, backlit LCD display that provides immediate access to forward power, reflected power, and calculated VSWR values. This local display allows engineers to quickly assess RF conditions at the site without needing external test equipment, making routine checks and troubleshooting faster and more efficient.
Flexible Deployment for Single or Multi-Point Sites
This RF power measurement system can be used as a standalone antenna protection and power monitoring solution or combined with additional DPS-100D units to create a comprehensive monitoring system. It is well suited for master antenna facilities, shared transmission sites, and complex RF installations where multiple transmission lines must be monitored simultaneously.
Designed for Dielectric Transmission Line Applications
The included 4-1/16" dielectric directional coupler is matched to the specified EIA line size, ensuring proper installation and accurate sampling of RF energy. This makes the DPS-100D-4-1/16D an ideal choice for high-power broadcast transmission lines commonly used in FM and TV facilities.
Part of a Scalable RF Site Monitoring Ecosystem
As part of the Broadcast Devices, Inc. DPS-100D product family, this system integrates easily into larger RF site monitoring and control solutions. Engineers can expand monitoring capabilities over time, building a centralized view of RF performance across an entire facility or network of transmitter sites.
