Reliable power measurements

Rohde & Schwarz NRPxE diode power sensors use the tried and tested Rohde & Schwarz multipath technology. With overlapping diode paths measured in parallel and a wide dynamic range of 80 dB, the power sensors feature high measurement accuracy and speed.

R&S NRPxE diode power sensors

Compact, rugged housing

Rohde & Schwarz NRP power sensors are built to last. The durable mechanical build is housed in an industry grade compound with dark blue rubber ruggedizing.

R&S NRP8E diode power sensor

Easy to use

Get started without even having to consult a manual: The most important-RF relevant data is clearly stated on the sensor product label.

R&S NRPxE: easy to use

Mobile connectivity

Taking reliable RF power measurements is just as simple as taking a photo. The free mobile app is available on the Google Play store.

R&S NRPxE with mobile phone

Compatibility

The Rohde & Schwarz NRP8E and NRP18E can be operated with the Rohde & Schwarz NRX power meter, but also with other Rohde & Schwarz T&M instruments, PCs or mobile phones.

Available models

Model Frequency range Level range Connector type
NRP8E from 10 MHz to 8 GHz from -60 dBm to +20 dBm N (m)
NRP18E from 10 MHz to 18 GHz from -60 dBm to +20 dBm N (m)

Digital connectivity: Cables

Another update concerns digital connectivity. Instead of the previous-gen adapter cables connecting to the sensor fixed cable (esp. for USB-A), now desired connectors can be attached directly to the RF Sensor. The system comprises 4 cable types, available in a number of cable lengths:
 

Cable Name Connector Type Connectivity example
NRP-ZKU USB Type A Remote control on Computer
NRP-ZKC USB Type C Remote control on Mobile phone
NRP-ZK6 6 pole bayonet type connector (compatible with R&S T&M devices including NRX) Power servoing with Signal Generator
NRP-ZK8 8 pole bayonet type connector featuring additional clock sync (only compatible with NRX unit) Synchronized measurements with multiple NRPxE sensors connected to NRX unit
