Product overview
The R&S®NRX is the new generation of power meter base unit. Behind a 5" touchscreen it takes up to four R&S®NRP USB power sensors or NRQ6 sensors at once and shows them in a window-based display you configure as you like. Automatic pulse analysis, limit monitoring, an external trigger and an analog output are built in, and with NRT-Z directional sensors it also makes power reflection measurements — which makes it as much at home in development as in production and automated test.
Key features
- Touchscreen GUI with a direct, window-based operating concept
- One measurement channel as standard, expandable to two or four with software options
- Automatic pulse parameter analysis with wideband power sensors
- Optional high-precision sensor check source module
- Power reflection measurements with NRT-Z directional sensors
- Several remote control interfaces: Ethernet and USB, with GPIB as an option
- External trigger input and an analog voltage output proportional to level
Typical applications
- General RF and microwave power measurement
- Pulse parameter analysis on radar and communications systems
- Multichannel power monitoring inside an automated test system (ATE)
