Power Meter
R&S
ZNH option
R&S ZNH-K9 (order number: 1334.6800.02) option is required to operate the
R&S
ZNH in the power meter mode.
Signal source output
When the "Signal Gen" softkey is activated, the R&S
ZNH provides a signal source
which you can use to perform a quick cable loss measurement on DUT. See
For highly accurate power measurements, you can connect a power sensor to the
R&S
ZNH and perform measurements.

Using a Power Sensor
The power sensor function turns the R&S
ZNH into a wideband power meter. It then
always measures the power of the whole signal in the frequency range of the power
sensor. In most cases, the signal shape has no effect on the measurement.
The power sensor measures the power in the frequency range defined in the data
sheet of the power sensor. This means that you can measure both sine signals and
modulated signals precisely over a large dynamic range.
For a complete list of supported power sensors, refer to the data sheet.
If you are using one of the NRP power sensors, you also need a passive USB adapter
(R&S NRP-Z4) to connect the power sensor to the R&S
ZNH.
For more information on the characteristics of the supported power sensors, see the
following:
●
The datasheet of the R&S
ZNH.

The website for R&S power sensors.
