NRP18S-25.02

The NRP18S-25.02 from Rohde & Schwarz is a high power 3 path diode power sensor for widest dynamic range. The 3 separate diode paths, each operated in optimum detector range. As a result, average power can be determined with high accuracy independent of the modulation type. Measurement results are hardly affected by interfering signals or harmonics. It is self-contained, fully characterized immediately ready for use instruments. It can be operated with R&S®NRP2 base unit, a laptop/PC via USB and many Rohde & Schwarz instruments (e.g. signal generators, signal and spectrum analyzers, network analyzers). In contrast to conventional power sensor no calibration is required prior to making measurements since sensor is fully characterized over frequency, level, temperature and feature long term stability. Using a PC connected to Internet the sensor can be conveniently controlled via a web browser. This sensor is ideal for universal applications.

• 30nW to 30W(-45dBm to +45dBm) power measurement range, 10MHz to 18GHz frequency range
• 93dB dynamic range, improved three path concept, minimizing measurement uncertainty
• Unprecedented measurement speed and accuracy even at low levels
• More than 50000 readings/s, 10000 triggered measurements/s
• Sensors for high power applications, detachable cables for flexible operation
• Minimizing 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
