The Rohde & Schwarz NRP67TN is a thermocouple-based thermal power sensor engineered for precise power measurements across DC to 67 GHz. It delivers exceptional linearity of 0.007 dB (0.16%) to 67 GHz and absolute power measurement uncertainty as low as 0.040 dB, making it the standard choice for metrology labs, RF development, and production test environments. The sensor handles CW, modulated, and pulsed signals with a dynamic range spanning 300 nW to 100 mW (-35 dBm to +20 dBm). Triggered measurements execute three times faster than comparable solutions, while buffered mode sustains >500 measurements/s for high-throughput applications.
