Peak power sensors
The NRV-Z31/ ̧NRV-Z32/̧NRV-Z33 peak power sensors take a special place among diode sensors. They enable measurement of the peak envelope power (PEP) of modulated signals during signal peaks of 2 μs to 100 ms duration. They thus open up a large variety of applications, from the measurement of pulsed transmit power of TDMA mobile phones through special measurement tasks in applied physics to the measurement of sync pulse power of terrestrial TV transmitters. Peak power sensors from Rohde & Schwarz are available for the frequency range 30 MHz to 6 GHz in the power classes 20 mW ( ̧NRV-Z31), 2 W ( ̧NRV-Z32) and 20 W ( ̧NRV-Z33), the latter for direct power measurement at output stages.
