Product overview

The R&S®NRPxxP are wideband peak and pulse power sensors covering 50 MHz to 50 GHz, with up to 30 MHz video bandwidth and a rise time below 13 ns — enough to reconstruct the envelope power of a radar pulse. An 80 Msample/s sampling rate and automatic pulse analysis suit them to radar pulse measurements and to peak and envelope power analysis on 5G bursts and WLAN modulated signals. They connect straight to a PC over USB, so high-accuracy pulse measurements need no dedicated base unit.

Key features

  • Three models cover 50 MHz to 18, 40 or 50 GHz
  • Video bandwidth up to 30 MHz, enough to reconstruct radar pulse envelope power
  • Rise time < 13 ns, measuring pulses as short as 50 ns
  • 80 Msample/s sampling rate, for 12.5 ns time resolution
  • Automatic pulse analysis measures 15 pulse parameters at once — rise and fall time, pulse width, duty cycle and more
  • Peak power, average power, gated peak power and peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) measurements
  • Statistical analysis with CCDF, CDF and PDF: a million samples in 25 ms
  • USB TMC interface, operated straight from a PC with no base unit

Typical applications

  • Radar pulse power and envelope measurements
  • Power analysis of 5G NR burst signals
  • Peak power measurements on WLAN and wideband modulated signals
  • Production test of aerospace and defense RF components
  • Installation, maintenance and monitoring of communications equipment
