NRP18S-25 10MHz – 18GHz 3-path diode power sensor, -45dBm – +45dBm, 30nW – 30W, N(m)

R&S NRP18S-25 power sensor (1424.6744.02) + NRP-ZK8 Power sensor cable M12 – 8-pole (1424.9408.02).

It has a frequency range of 10 MHz to 18 GHz and a dynamic range of -45 dBm – +45 dBm (30 nW to 30 W). It comes with a N male connector.

The R&S NRPxxS/SN power sensors use three separate diode paths, each operated in the optimum detector range.
As a result, the average power can be determined with high accuracy independent of the modulation type.
Measurement results are hardly affected by interfering signals or harmonics.
The R&S NRPxxS/SN power sensors therefore behave in a way similar to thermal power sensors but offer significantly higher speed.
They provide up to 93 dB dynamic range with an excellent lower measurement limit of –70 dBm.

Key facts:

• Fast and accurate power measurements for CW and modulated signals
• 100,000 readings/s
• Control and monitoring via USB (NRP-ZKU needed) and LAN (only for NRPxxSN types and the NRP33SN-V/67SN-V)  
• Sensors for high-power applications
• Flexible operation with R&S NRX base unit
