The Rohde & Schwarz NRP33SN is a three-path diode power sensor engineered for high-precision average power measurements from 10 MHz to 33 GHz. It delivers a dynamic range of 93 dB with measurement uncertainty below 0.2 dB up to 3.6 GHz and below 0.3 dB up to 8 GHz, enabling accurate characterization of both continuous wave and modulated signals across the entire level range.
