Key facts
R&S®NRP power meter sensors have long been recognized for supreme precision and speed. R&S®NRPxxT, R&S®NRPxxTN and R&S®NRPxxTWG thermal power sensors are ideal for complex measurement tasks where accuracy is vital. They combine excellent impedance matching with a sophisticated connector concept. The internal calibration test generates reliable and stable measurements. R&S®NRP power meter sensors are available as USB sensors and can also be controlled via LAN. The R&S®NRP power meter portfolio is ideal for production, R&D and calibration labs as well as installation and maintenance.
Unparalleled linearity ideal for performing relative measurements
Thermal power sensors are used in complex measurement tasks where accuracy is vital. To improve measurement accuracy, the R&S®NRPxxT(N)/TWG(N) thermal power sensor hardware is designed to keep measurement noise to a minimum and make the sensor immune to thermal environmental effects. Three times faster than comparable solutions on the market with triggered measurements and > 500 measurements/s in buffered mode.
High precision measurements R&S®NRP67T
From N to WR 6.5, always the right RF interface
Measurement uncertainty generally results from mismatches caused by multiple reflections at the source and power sensors. To minimize such reflections, all thermal power sensors in the R&S®NRP family are excellently matched to high frequencies, reducing measurement uncertainty.
R&S®NRPxxTWG power sensors
Remote monitoring via LAN over any distance
The LAN power sensors are ideal for remote monitoring applications, such as satellite systems or particle accelerators, where sensors are placed at different points in the system. The LAN interface makes it easy to overcome large distances between the various test points and the control center.
Remote monitoring of LAN power sensors
Rohde & Schwarz has implemented a special verification function in R&S®NRPxxT(N) sensors. The function covers all essential signal path components. Using a test routine, sensor response to highly stable applied DC power is measured and compared to the values from the previous calibration. The result provides information about the power sensor functionality and accuracy.
Test setup with R&S®NRP power sensors
Common R&S®NRP power sensor features
Also available as three-path diode power sensors
Robust 6-/8-pole, USB or LAN
The power sensors come with various detachable cables. The sensor end has a screw connection to prevent accidental loosening of the cable. Direct connections to Rohde & Schwarz signal generators and signal and spectrum analyzers are enhanced with a high-performance power meter. The R&S®NRP-ZKU or R&S®NRP-ZKC USB interface cable can be used to connect a power sensor to a laptop/PC via the USB interface.
