Built-in trigger I/O port The R&S®NRPxxS(N), R&S®NRPxxT(N), R&S®NRPxxTWG and...

Detachable cables for flexible operation The R&S®NRP-ZK6 interface cable is intended for operating a power sensor on the R&S®NRX base unit. It can also be used to connect the power sensor to diverse Rohde & Schwarz signal generators and signal and spectrum analyzers to enhance these instruments with a highperformance power meter. The power sensors come with various, detachable cables for connection to diverse display units. A screw connection is provided on the sensor end to prevent accidental loosening of the cable. The R&S®NRP-ZKU USB interface cable can be used to connect a power sensor to...

Straightforward numerical and graphical display of measured values, plus intuitive operation The R&S®NRX simultaneously supports up to four power sensors of the R&S®NRP and R&S®NRQ family. Function keys on the front panel provide quick access to the most important functions. Users can open the frequency setting menu or zero the connected sensors at the push of a button. Freq 1.000 0 GHz Trigger Auto Av(B) Running User-programmable save/recall memory locations allow fast access to personal settings. Presets for all major mobile radio standards, such as 3GPP LTE, 3GPP WCDMA, GSM/EDGE, WLAN and...

Hardware interfaces for remote control and triggering The R&S®NRX provides three different remote interfaces for integration in automated test setups: Ethernet, USB and optionally GPIB (R&S®NRX-B8). A trigger input on the rear panel permits external triggering for synchronized power measurements. Using an R&S®NRP-Z81, for example, a trigger signal can be derived from the measurement signal and output at the trigger output (trigger master mode). A level-proportional voltage or a digital signal for limit monitoring can be output via BNC connectors. Expandable to up to four measurement channels...

Intelligent, LAN power measurements Almost every sensor available as LAN model Almost every R&S®NRPxxS three-path diode, R&S®NRPxxA average and R&S®NRPxxT thermal sensor from the R&S®NRP product range is available as a LAN model (R&S®NRPxxSN, R&S®NRPxxAN, R&S®NRPxxTN). LAN models are equipped with an additional LAN interface without compromising sensor features and performance. Remote monitoring via LAN over any distance The R&S®NRPxxSN, R&S®NRPxxTN and R&S®NRPxxAN LAN power sensors are ideal for remote monitoring applications, e.g. for satellite systems or particle accelerators, where sensors...

Power supply via Power over Ethernet (PoE) in LAN operation, the sensors are powered via a PoE-capable LAN interface on the power sensor. if the LAN used does not support the PoE standard, then the sensors are connected to the LAN via a PoE switch (e.g. r&s®nrp-zapi). Built-in web GUI with full power measurement support The R&S®NRPxxSN, R&S®NRPxxTN and R&S®NRPxxAN can be operated via a web interface. Using a PC connected to the internet, the power sensors can be conveniently controlled via a web browser - no additional software needs to be installed. Simultaneous, location-independent remote...

Three-path diode power sensors Ideal for universal applications Three-path diode power sensors are suitable for numerous applications since they support continuous average, burst average, timeslot average, gate average and trace measurements. Featuring outstanding performance and unprecedented measurement speed and accuracy, the sensors can be used to perform precise average power measurements on wireless signals such as GSM and 3GPP as well as on higher bandwidth signals such as LTE and LTE-Advanced. For detailed analysis, the sensors offer additional measurement functions such as timeslot mode and...
