Product overview
The R&S®NRPxE are the entry-level diode USB power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz. They use the proven Rohde & Schwarz multipath diode technology in a simpler, more affordable package than the NRPxxS sensors, and deliver accurate, stable average power measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz. R&S names the family as the successor to the older R&S®NRP-Z2x1 two-path diode sensors. A USB connection is all they need: plug one into an R&S®NRX power meter, another R&S instrument, a PC or a mobile device, with no base unit.
