R&S NRPxxS Three-Path Diode Power Sensor with 93 dB Dynamic Range, 100,000 Measurements/s, and 10 MHz to 90 GHz Frequency Range

The R&S®NRPxxS/SN power sensors utilize three separate diode paths, each operating in the optimum detector range. This design enables accurate average power determination independent of modulation type. Measurement results are minimally affected by interfering signals or harmonics. These sensors behave similarly to thermal power sensors but offer significantly higher speed, providing up to 93 dB dynamic range with an excellent lower measurement limit of -70 dBm.

These power sensors combine top measurement accuracy and speed with simple operation on base units or computers. The comprehensive portfolio includes LAN and USB power sensors with the following characteristics:

• Fully characterized power sensors
• Minimized measurement uncertainty
• Intelligent averaging function minimizes measurement time
• Versatile measurement functions
• USBTMC for easy system integration
• Built-in trigger I/O port
• Sensor status at a glance with status LED
• Detachable cables for flexible operation

All NRP sensors are independent measuring instruments that can be directly connected to computers via USB adapter and operated using R&S NRPV software.
