The new R&S NRP power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz represent the latest in power measurement technology. They offer all the functionality of conventional power meters, and more, within the small housing of a power sensor. The USB interface on an R&S NRP sensor enables operation with an R&S NRP power meter, or with a PC running under either Microsoft® Windows® , Mac OS X, or Linux.
R&SPower Viewer Plus is an easy-to-use, feature-packed software package that offers capabilities beyond those of a regular power meter. It simplifies measurement tasks, such as average-power, timeslot, statistics and trace measurements. In addition, up to 16 sensors can be utilized for measuring average power simultaneously. Results, such as the reflection coefficient or gain, can be computed from the measured values.
Particularly the capabilities for use with a desktop or laptop PC make an R&S NRP sensor an ideal and cost-effective solution for lab testing or for automated systems. The rugged design is suitable for use in the field for performing such tasks as servicing antenna systems.
