Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z51 Thermal Power Sensor. DC to 18GHz; 300nW to 100mW, N(m)
The R&S NRP-Z51 is the world¿s first power sensor
to combine the thermal test cell with a complete
power meter. The sensor features 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; it also offers
a continuous measurement range from 1 µW to 100
mW without range switching, G 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 R&S NRPZ51
sensor 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.
