R&S®NRP Power Meter
The art of measuring power accurately
Applications in the lab and R&D
Top measurement accuracy plus a dynamic range of 90 dB for broadband signals of any modulation are the most important characteristics of the Power Meter R&S NRP. The versatile sensors in SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGYTM are a priceless investment if you wish to meet future requirements such as the broadband modulation types of third-generation mobile radio.
Production and measurement speed
These two keywords are closely connected. The R&S NRP sensors in SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGYTM offer various innovative features on both fronts: excellent noise characteristics, no delays in measurement range selection and optimized filtering of results. It goes without saying that the basic unit, which can accommodate up to 4 sensors at the same time, can be fully remote-controlled. In addition, the sensors can be connected not only to the basic unit, but also to a PC, which is usually present in most cases.
Mobile use
A handy, lightweight and sturdy instrument, which can also be powered from the optional battery for several hours, makes mobile use a pleasure. A user wishing to evaluate the measurements with a notebook, for example, can leave the basic unit at home. An R&S NRP power sensor in SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGYTM that is operated directly from a PC is hands-down the smallest and most lightweight microwave measuring instrument available.
For any type of test signal - SMART SENSOR TECHNOLOGYTM
Microwave power meters have historically required a multitude of different sensors to cover all applications. Thermal sensors, diode sensors as well as peak power sensors were used to handle the various measurement tasks. The sensors of the R&S NRP family now make life much easier – in many cases, a single sensor can perform all necessary measurements.
