Rohde & Schwarz NRP Power Meter

The RF and microwave Power Meter R&S NRP is ideal for daily use in research and development, production or mobile service, not to mention when analyzing broadband modulation signals of third generation mobile radio. The versatility of the novel R&S NRP power meter series is primarily due to the newly developed sensors in R&S Smart Sensor Technology. These sensors are intelligent standalone instruments that communicate with the basic unit or a PC via a digital interface. The R&S Smart Sensor Technology, now implemented for the first time, sets new standards in terms of universality and accuracy. The R&S NRP basic unit offers exactly what you expect for today’s needs: compact size, intuitive user interface and multichannel capability.

Key Features and Specifications

• Innovative multipath sensor technology
• 90 dB dynamic range
• High measurement speed
• Intelligent sensors - simply plug in and measure
• Accurate measurement of average power regardless of bandwidth and modulation
• Multislot measurements for common time division systems (e.g. GSM/EDGE, DECT)
• Simultaneous operation of up to 4 sensors on basic unit

Applications

• R&D
  Top measurement accuracy plus a dynamic range of 90 dB for broadband signals (like WLAN and WiMax) make the NRP-Z sensors ideal for the lab
• Production
  Full remote control capability of the base unit as well as the 2-year calibration cycle add up to a perfect solution in production environments
• Mobile Use
  USB connectivity means you do not need to carry the base unit for measurements in the field. Just plug in the sensor to your laptop via a USB adapter and go
