 RF Power Meters for Digitally Modulated Signals in Military Applications 

Reliable Comms Start With Accurate Power — See the Proof

Modern military and LMR systems increasingly use digitally modulated signals, which require precise average-power measurement for performance and compliance. Traditional wattmeters—built for CW and FM—aren’t designed to track the amplitude variations of modern digital waveforms. This technical paper outlines how digital modulation changes the measurement landscape and shows how square-law Schottky detection delivers accurate, modulation-independent readings across AM, QAM, and other advanced formats.

Explore the data behind today’s RF power-measurement challenges—and the solution that ensures accuracy, reliability, and mission readiness.
