NRP-Z86 44 Wideband Power Sensor - Time domain analysis and automatic pulse analysis for radar applications and universal use

Power measurement range: 1 nW to 100 mW, Frequency range: 50 MHz to 44 GHz, Level Range: -60 dBm to 20 dBm, Connector: 2.4 mm Male

Ideal for radar applications
The NRP-Z8x wideband power sensors are ideal for radar applications. In development or during installation and maintenance, pulse characteristics as well as output power have to be measured. Similar measurements are required in the production of radar systems and radar components. Thanks to a maximum video bandwidth of 30 MHz and a rise/fall time < 13 ns, the sensors can measure pulses with a pulse width as small as 50 ns.

Up to 44 GHz
The R&S®NRP-Z8x wideband power sensors are ideal for power measurements on microwave link modules. Especially the NRP-Z86 model .44 (upper frequency limit of 44 GHz) can be used for the development, production, installation and maintenance of the latest generation of microwave link modules. The user benefits from the sensor’s high measurement speed and large dynamic range.

Outstanding dynamic range and accuracy
The dynamic range of the NRP-Z8x wideband power sensors yields a lower limit of –47 dBm for envelope power measurements and –60 dBm for average power measurements. This sensitivity is unique and so far unprecedented on the market. Users benefit from enhanced reproducibility and high measurement speed. These sensors are therefore ideal for analyzing envelope power as well as for measuring average power.

High resolution mode
Some applications require the display of strongly magnified signal sections such as the rising edge of a pulse. To improve the graphical display in the trace mode, which has a resolution of 12.5 ns, a high density of samples is required. Equivalent time sampling with repetitive signals can achieve a time resolution of up to 100 ps.

Highest measurement speed
The NRP-Z8x wideband power sensors are the world’s fastest sensors. In buffered mode, a specified measurement speed of > 9000 measurements/s can be achieved.
