Wideband power sensor for radar and digital communications testing to 18 GHz
The new Rohde & Schwarz NRP-Z81 wideband power sensor is now available from TTi 
(Thurlby Thandar Instruments).
The NRP-Z81 operates from 50 MHz to 18 GHz and offers all the functionality of a conventional peak power meter and more within the small housing of a power sensor. It can be operated using the R&S NRP power meter base unit, or any Windows PC using the R&S NRP-Z3 or Z4 USB adaptors.
The NRP-Z81 is suitable for the analysis of radar and communications signals up to 30 MHz RF bandwidth with a sensor rise-time of less than 13 ns. It offers accurate continuous average power measurements on modulated and unmodulated signals from -60 dBm to +20 dBm. It can also perform ultra-fast statistical analysis (one mid-point CCDF within 25 ms).
The NRP-Z81 is part of a wide range of power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz which covers power measurement from 200 pW up to 30 W and frequencies from DC up to 40 GHz.
