Overview of the R&S NRP

Z power sensor types
The R&S NRP
‑
Z power sensors are highly accurate standalone measuring instru-
ments that offer all the functionality of conventional power meters, and more,
within the small housing of a power sensor. With a high dynamic range, the differ-
ent types of R&S NRP
‑
Z power sensors are suitable for nearly every measure-
ment task:
●
Three-path power sensors
With patented three-path technology. Suitable for many applications, thanks to
their wide dynamic and frequency range. The sensors feature high measure-
ment accuracy independent of the modulation type and speed and offer a
wide range of functions.
●
Two-path power sensors
With slightly modified dynamic range and performance. A cost-effective solu-
tion ideal for production applications.
●
Wideband power sensors
With high video bandwidth that permits accurate time-domain analysis of the
envelope power. Analysis is fast and easy thanks to also integrated measure-
ment functions such as automatic pulse analysis.
●
Thermal power sensors
With outstanding measurement accuracy. They are the first choice for power
measurements in the frequency range from DC to 110 GHz as performed in
calibration labs, where measurement accuracy is the key requirement.
●
Average power sensors
Specially developed for EMC applications and cover the required frequency
range from 9
kHz to 6
GHz.
●
Level control sensors
