- Description
- The power sensors are designed to provide accurate, real-time measurements of RF (Radio Frequency) signal power. One end of the power sensor has a USB connector for connection to computers and at the other end there is a N-type RF connector. The USB power sensors come with software or software compatibility that allows for easy data visualisation, logging, and analysis. Power sensors are widely used in test and measurement environments, particularly in satellite communication and RF systems. By measuring the power of the RF signals, the sensor helps detect any degradation or loss in the signal's strength. This is important for maintaining signal integrity and ensuring reliable communication. A USB power sensor involves the direct conversion of RF (radio frequency) or microwave power into a measurable voltage, which is then processed by an internal microcontroller. The sensor quantifies this voltage to determine the power level of the signal.

- Justification
- Classification has been determined in accordance with the following: For the purposes of determining the commodity codes within which goods most appropriately fall, reg 3 (1) of The Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 sets out that the rules of interpretation contained in the following have effect – a. Part Two (Goods Classification Table Rules of Interpretation) of the Tariff of the United Kingdom (Reg 3(1)(a)); and b. Notes to a section or chapter of the Goods Classification Table (Reg 3(1)(b)). GIR 1 has been used to classify this product by the terms of heading 9030 - Oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, cosmic or other ionising radiation GIR 6 has been used to classify the goods to subheading level 903033 - Other instruments and apparatus, for measuring or checking voltage, current, resistance or power (other than those for measuring or checking semiconductor wafers or devices) 8 Digit code 90303370 - Other, without a recording device; Other than resistance measuring instruments Also classified in accordance with: Harmonised System Explanatory Notes (HSENs) to Heading 9030 refers
