2.2 Key features
The R&S NRP series power sensors are the successors of the established
R&S NRP‑Z series of RF power sensors.
They provide a high-speed USB interface that constitutes both the communication
port and the power supply connection.
Also, most power sensors are available with an additional Gigabit Ethernet inter-
face with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power supply. The power sensors with net-
working capabilities, the R&S NRP LAN power sensors, are marked with a trailing
N in their names:
●R&S NRPxxSN
●R&S NRPxxAN
●R&S NRPxxTN
The R&S NRP series power sensors are compatible with the R&S NRP‑Z power
sensors in both the interface (USB) and a common command subset. This com-
patibility makes the replacement of the old power sensors easy.
For a detailed specification, refer to the data sheet and the brochure.
