Brief descriptionThe R&S®NRP18S-25 high-power sensor consist of an R&S®NRP18S and a 25 dB attenuator and is able to perform power measurements up to 30 W.

The sensors by Rohde & Schwarz are intelligent standalone instruments that communicate with the base unit or a PC via a digital interface.

Power meters, directional power meters, voltmeters, and power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz deliver extremely high versatility and stand for highest accuracy.

Brief descriptionThe R&S®NRP18S-10, R&S®NRP18S-20 and R&S®NRP18S-25 high-power sensors consist of an R&S®NRP18S and an attenuator and are able to perform power measurements up to 2 W, 15 W and 30 W. When used with the attenuator, mismatch errors between the sensor and attenuator are automatically corrected.
