Product overview
The R&S®NRPxxT family are thermal power sensors: they measure RF power by true RMS thermal conversion, which is the gold standard for calibration-grade power measurement and the reason they are chosen for reference applications and as transfer standards in calibration laboratories. The NRPxxTWG / TWGN waveguide models extend coverage into the 50 GHz to 170 GHz millimeterwave range for high-accuracy 5G/6G millimeterwave, satellite, radar and aerospace and defense work. The TN and TWGN models have a built-in LAN interface for remote monitoring and distributed measurements.
Key features
- Thermal measurement principle, for outstanding linearity and long-term stability — a calibration-grade reference
- Wide dynamic range of −35 dBm to +20 dBm, so one sensor covers most applications
- Buffered-mode measurement speed of > 500 measurements/s, three times faster than comparable thermal sensors
- Built-in self-test, so the health of the sensor can be verified at any time
- Coaxial connectors from N to 1.0 mm and waveguide from WR 15 to WR 6.5, with excellent impedance matching
- TN / TWGN models support USB + LAN (USBTMC), which simplifies system integration and remote measurement
- Smart averaging automatically optimises measurement time for the signal in hand
Typical applications
- Reference standards in calibration laboratories and metrology institutes (transfer standards, traceability chains)
- Development and production test of 5G / 6G millimeterwave components and systems
- RF power verification for satellite communications, radar and aerospace and defense
- Power monitoring at particle accelerators and remote facilities
- High-accuracy final test and quality control on the production line
