LadyBug Technologies announced the expansion of its small form factor power sensor product line by introducing the new LBSF09L. This advanced power sensor operates across a frequency range of 4 kHz to 9 GHz and features an excellent dynamic range, making it ideal for a wide array of embedded and automated test equipment (ATE) applications. This new addition to the LBSF product line is the smallest power sensor in the world with traceability.

The LBSF09L embodies LadyBug’s commitment to precision and integration, encapsulated in their tagline: “Designed for metrology, built for integration.” It offers standard USB HID and USBTMC interfaces plus optional HiSLIP LAN, SPI and I2C interfaces. These interfaces enable seamless integration into various systems, allowing the self-contained power sensors to be used without additional equipment. Its compact design suits embedded applications requiring traceability, facilitating easy integration into ATE systems.

Key benefits include high accuracy for reliable measurements, fast acquisition speed and patented No-Zero No-Cal thermal characterization that maintains performance and accuracy under varying temperature conditions. Option LTX extends the low-temperature operating range to -50°C for operation in cold environments, making the sensor ideal for satcom, space and defense applications. Additionally, the LBSF09L provides superior dynamic range and sensitivity, accurately measuring signals with any modulation bandwidth.

With a width of 0.8 in. and a height of 1.6 in., the LBSF09L can comfortably fit multiple units within a 1 RU rack space. Programmatic measurements can be performed using standard SCPI power meter commands and queries, such as Read? or Fetch?, across any of the LBSF09L’s interfaces.
