Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the frequency range supported by the R&S®NRX Power Meter?
The frequency range ranges from DC to 110 GHz, which is dependent on the specific power sensor connected to the unit.
How many measurement channels can the R&S®NRX support?
The standard base configuration comes with one active measurement channel. However, this can be optionally upgraded to support two or four measurement channels simultaneously.
What sensors are compatible with this power meter?
It is compatible with an extensive selection of sensors, including the R&S®NRPxxS(N) three-path diode, R&S®NRPxxT(N) thermoelectric, R&S®NRPxxA(N) EMC average, R&S®NRP-Z8x broadband, R&S®NRQ6 frequency-selective, and R&S®NRT-Zxx directional power sensors.
Can the R&S®NRX Power Meter be controlled remotely?
Yes. The system comes equipped with standard Ethernet and USB 2.0 interfaces. Additionally, users can integrate the optional R&S®NRX-B8 GPIB interface for automated remote environments.
What is the purpose of the optional NRX-B1 sensor check source?
The NRX-B1 acts as a highly accurate power reference source (operating at 50 MHz or 1 GHz) used to check and calibrate connected sensors, offering both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed output modes.
Does the instrument support real-time digital calculations?
Yes. Depending on the active mode, the power meter can show up to four measurements simultaneously alongside calculations like SWR, reflection coefficient, return loss, and ratios.
