The Rohde & Schwarz NRP2 Power Meter is a precision instrument for accurate power measurements from DC to 110 GHz across research, manufacturing, and field-service environments. The base unit features a TFT color display and supports up to four measurement channels using compatible R&S® power sensors. Remote control via Ethernet, GPIB, or USB enables seamless integration into automated test systems. Measurement capabilities include average/CW, envelope power, average burst power, peak, and peak-to-average power analysis, with acquisition speeds up to 1500 measurements per second in buffered mode.
