USB and LAN Diode Sensors: NRPxxS / NRPxxSN

NRP_47529_03_largeThe completely redesigned R&S NRPxxS and R&S NRPxxSN USB three-path diode power sensors offer unprecedented measurement speed and accuracy, even at low levels. The sensors enable 10,000 triggered measurements per second with a minimum trigger resolution of 100 µs. A special mode permits 50,000 equidistant measurements per second. The improved design decreased the lower measurement limit to -70 dBm, resulting in a very wide dynamic range of 93 dB.
