Rohde & Schwarz NRX Power Meter

Overview

The Rohde & Schwarz NRX is a next-generation RF power meter featuring a modern touch-screen based graphical user interface. It simultaneously supports up to four R&S power sensors (NRP and NRQ6 series) and displays measurement results on a configurable 5-inch WVGA display. The intuitive operating concept simplifies measurement setup and execution, while function keys on the front panel provide quick access to essential functions. The instrument is suitable for a wide range of RF power measurement applications from DC to 110 GHz.
