The Rohde & Schwarz NRQ6 is a frequency-selective power sensor operating from 50 MHz to 6 GHz, delivering high-precision power measurements with 0.06 dB uncertainty and exceptional measurement speed. Built on receiver technology, it captures band-limited power across a 100 MHz measurement bandwidth and achieves up to 500,000 readings per second across its -130 dBm to +20 dBm dynamic range.
This compact 50 Ohm instrument (N-type male connector) performs frequency-selective power measurement on individual transmission channels, continuous average power detection, adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) analysis, I/Q data capture for RF vector signal analysis, and triggered pulse measurements. Phase coherent measurement capability is available through master/slave configuration. RF power, EVM, and phase measurements execute within a single instrument.
