Measuring the Power with a Power Sensor
For more information about the characteristics of the supported power sensors, refers
to their datasheet.
Risk of damaging the power sensor
Because of high input power,
●
The continuous power applied to the power sensor’s input must not exceed 400
mW (26 dBm).
●
Use an attenuator for measurements on high-power transmitters.
However, brief power peaks ≤ 10 μs up to 1 W (30 dBm) are permissible.
Test setup
Connect the power sensor cable to the USB port of R&S Cable Rider ZPH. If the power
sensor is having the binder connector (i.e R&S FSH-Z1, R&S FSH-Z18), the FSH-Z101
adaptor cable is needed.
1 = Supported power sensor (e.g R&S FSH-Z1, R&S NRP-Z11)
2 = Power sensor connector (DUT)
3 = USB binder adaptor (R&S FSH-Z101)
4 = USB port connector
Measuring the power
1. Press the [MODE] key.
2. Select the "Power Meter" softkey.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH switches its operating mode.
If the R&S Cable Rider ZPH recognizes a power sensor, it sets up a connection via the
USB interface. After a few seconds, the R&S Cable Rider ZPH shows the measured
power.
