The Rohde & Schwarz NRP40TN is a thermal power sensor for accurate power measurements across DC to 40 GHz. Built for reference measurements and calibration labs, this sensor delivers highest-level measurement accuracy through sophisticated design that minimizes noise and eliminates thermal environmental drift. Excellent impedance matching across the entire frequency range reduces reflection-induced measurement uncertainty, while internal calibration tests ensure stable, reliable operation. The sensor tolerates any modulation format and achieves measurement speeds exceeding 500 measurements/s in buffered triggered mode.
