The new R&S NRP-Z47 power sensor module from Rohde & Schwarz turns an R&S FSMR3000 measuring receiver into a precision power meter with a wide dynamic range from –23 dBm to +30 dBm. Providing frequency ranges up to 50 GHz this solution fits perfect for level calibration of generators and attenuators in radar systems.
Calibration labs – whether within military facilities, at major mobile network manufacturers, or as independent civilian services – can leverage the R&S NRP-Z47 power sensor module and R&S FSMR3000 measuring receiver for precise calibrations. This equipment combination offers for example a powerful solution to ensure the accuracy of components crucial to radar systems, such as generators and attenuators, maintaining high standards in testing and measurement.
The new R&S NRP-Z47 power sensor module is a highly accurate instrument for determining the absolute power level. R&S FSMR3000 measurement receivers are designed for measurement tasks involved in the calibration of signal generators and attenuators. They provide excellent linearity and allow precise power calibration over its entire level range.
For maximum accuracy, this calibration solution measures absolute power with the R&S NRP-Z47 power sensor module within its dynamic range of from –23 dBm to +30 dBm. Beyond this range the R&S FSMR3000 measures the relative levels down to -150 dBm depending on frequency range. The receiver utilizes the TRFL (Tuned RF Level) method, calibrating across multiple overlapping ranges to minimize errors from preamplifier activation, gain or attenuation changes.
With the built-in splitter of the R&S NRP-Z47 power sensor module, users can connect both the power sensor module and the R&S FSMR3000 to the device under test (DUT) at the same time providing a single connection to the DUT delivering accurate and repeatable power measurements by avoiding cable connection and disconnection.
The new R&S NRP-Z47 power sensor module expands the R&S NRP-Zx7 series of power sensor modules with internal splitters used for calibration with an R&S FSMR measurement receiver with a module for frequencies up to 50 GHz. It is now available from Rohde & Schwarz.For further information visit: https://www.rohde-schwarz.com/products/test-and-measurement/rf-and-microwave-power-sensors/rs-nrp-zx7_334288.html
