Product overview
The R&S®NRP-Z8x are wideband peak power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz: the NRP-Z81 to 18 GHz, and the NRP-Z85 and NRP-Z86 to 44 GHz. With 30 MHz of video bandwidth and the ability to resolve 50 ns pulses, they suit time-domain analysis of radar pulses and communications signals. Rohde & Schwarz lists the family as discontinued; the R&S®NRPxxP pulse power sensors take over from it.
Key features
- Wide video bandwidth of 30 MHz, for radar pulses as narrow as 50 ns
- High dynamic range, with envelope measurements down to −47 dBm
- Automatic pulse parameter analysis: pulse width, rise and fall time, duty cycle
- High sampling rate, for time-domain analysis
- No dedicated base unit needed — controlled over USB from a PC, a spectrum analyzer or a signal generator
- Calibration data held in the sensor: plug in and measure
Typical applications
- Time-domain analysis of radar pulses
- Aerospace and defense system test
- Pulse power measurement on wireless base stations and transmitters
- Satellite earth station and microwave link testing
- Peak and average power measurement in the development laboratory
