D-band power sensor is NMI-traceable
The NRP170TWG(N) thermal waveguide power sensor from Rohde & Schwarz enables power level measurements from 110 GHz to 170 GHz. It provides full traceability to national metrology institute (NMI) standards in this frequency range, an important prerequisite for commercializing the D-band. According to R&S, it is the only NMI-traceable RF power sensor for the D-band.
The plug-and-play device comes in two variants: the NRP170TWG, controlled via a USB connection, and the NRP170TWGN, offering both USB and LAN connections. Both models are calibrated for long-term stability and compensate for environmental temperature changes within the operating range of 0°C to +50°C. Sensors have a dynamic range of -35 dBm to +20 dBm and handle up to 500 measurements/s.
The thermal power sensors can be used in general R&D for 6G mobile communications, novel sub-THz communications, sensing, and future automotive radar applications. No calibration is required prior to performing measurements, since the sensors are fully characterized over frequency, level, and temperature. All calibration data is stored in the sensor.
The NRP170TWG(N) thermal power sensors are available now from Rohde & Schwarz.
