- The same directly and Ohms, and reactive. As for power, the Bird samples a vector sum of line current and line voltage with its directional coupler. A properly calibrated Bird 43 meter, when used wi

- Just as I told and You confirmed, the real power is not directly measured by a bird wattmeter when load isn't 50 Ohms. The real power (when a reflected power is existing) is only obtainable by subtr

- is, but power The thermocouple meter reads only one vector, current. It does not measure voltage or phase. You have only one scalar measurement and power is a function of the square of that reading.

- Bird 43 is a useful instrument, and I agree with your points about directional coupler meters advantages. Sensors, diodes or thermocouples (bolometers) have instead pros and cons. It remains the fact
