NRP8S.02

The NRP8S.02 from Rohde & Schwarz is a three path diode power sensor for USB operation. This power sensor is a self contained, fully characterized instrument. It can be operated with NRP2 base unit with a laptop/ PC via USB and with many Rohde & Schwarz instruments (eg. signal generators, signal and spectrum analyzers, network analyzers). It is ideal for universal applications and three path concepts uses three separate diode paths each operated in the optimum detector range. As a result, the average power can be determined with high accuracy independent of the modulation type. Measurement results are hardly affected by interfering signals or harmonics. This power sensor therefore behaves in a way similar to thermal power sensor but offer significantly higher speed. It provides up to 93dB dynamic range with an excellent lower measurement limit of -70dBm and also sensors provides a USB high speed interface which constitutes both the communication port and the power supply connection.

• Measurement range from 100pW to 200mW and N (m) connector type
• Frequency range from 10MHz to 8GHz, level range from -70dBm to +23dBm
• Unprecedented measurement speed and accuracy even at low levels
• Widest dynamic range, detachable cables for flexible operation
• Built-in trigger I/O port
• Fully characterized power sensor minimizes measurement uncertainty
• Intelligent averaging function minimizes measurement time and versatile measurement functions
• Sensor status at a glance with status LED
• 10000 triggered measurements/s and more than 50000 readings/s

Warnings

Protect the work area against electrostatic discharge to avoid damage to electronic components in the modules.

Notes

Use only PoE power sourcing equipment (PSE) according to IEEE standards 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at. Otherwise power sensor may get damaged.
