The sensors of the R&S NRP-Z series can be used as standalone measuring instruments without the basic unit. In addition to the power sensor itself, they include a CPU that controls the sensor, processes the measurement results and operates the interface: a complete miniature power meter. All measurement data and settings are transmitted via a digital USB interface. This concept, with which Rohde & Schwarz already set the pace in the field of directional power meters, is now being used for the first time in classic microwave power measurements.
* Use on a PC (With a USB Adapter):
The most cost-effective method for high precision power measurements is to connect the sensors directly to a PC, especially if data acquisition and evaluation take place via a PC. The main area of application is production, since production environments usually include a process controller. The fact that the basic unit can be omitted saves space in the rack and reduces costs. Service technicians will also appreciate this option since the power meter fits into a trouser pocket and can easily be operated from a laptop.
The new power sensors for the frequency ranges DC to 18 GHz (R&S NRP-Z51) for the first time combine the thermoelectric test cell with a complete power meter. The sensors feature not only all the advantages of the thermal measuring principle but also a further increase in accuracy since the influence of the base unit is eliminated; they also offer a continuous measurement range from 1 µW to 100 mW without range switching, Γ correction to reduce matching errors and numerous other assets. The DC-coupled thermal test cell of the predecessor model R&S NRV-Z51 was adopted, allowing measurements starting at 0 Hz, plus reference to a low-frequency or DC standard. Like the other sensors of this instrument family, the new sensors can be operated via the R&S NRP base unit or a PC with a USB interface. A virtual user interface is part of the equipment supplied to enable operation from a PC (this is not included).
