High-precision power measurement without changing the measurement instrument
Rohde & Schwarz is presenting the Power Sensor Modules R&S NRP-Z27/-Z37 for its Measuring Receiver R&S FSMR. The modules, which include a power sensor with integrated power splitter, allow you to exactly determine the signal power and perform all further measurements of the measuring receiver using a single signal connector. The R&S NRP-Z27 and R&S NRP-Z37 cover a frequency range up to 18 GHz and 26.5 GHz respectively and thus provide in connection with the R&S FSMR a highly compact all-in-one solution for calibrating signal sources.
When calibrating signal generators, high accuracy is crucial. Equipped with the R&S NRP-Z27/-Z37 module, the R&S FSMR becomes a high-precision power meter with a dynamic range from -115 dBm to +30 dBm. You can connect the R&S NRP-Z27 or R&S NRP-Z37 directly to the signal generator to be calibrated and to the Measuring Receiver R&S FSMR. One part of the signal power is coupled out to the sensor test cell via the power splitters integrated in the power sensors. The other part is transferred to the R&S FSMR via a high-quality microwave cable. You thus avoid having to switch between the power sensor module and the measuring receiver, which is necessary when two separate instruments are used. This simplifies operation and increases measurement efficiency.
As with other power sensor modules of the R&S NRP family, the R&S NRP-Z27/-Z37 modules also process the measurement results in the sensor while compensating the integrated power splitter and the effect of the R&S FSMR via an internal s-parameter correction. The power sensor modules can therefore be used as full-fledged measurement instruments that communicate directly with the measuring receiver via a USB connection. The base unit normally used for driving the sensors is not needed.
The R&S FSMR already combines level calibrator, modulation and audio analyzer as well as a full-featured spectrum analyzer in one unit. It performs all measurements that are necessary for the calibration of signal generators and fixed or variable attenuators.
The Power Sensor Modules R&S NRP-Z27/-Z37 are now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
