Near and Far Field Measurements with a Vector Network Analyzer

For optimal performance in over-the-air RF systems, antennas must meet specific requirements. Performance parameters like size, wind-loading, environmental ruggedness, transmission pattern, bandwidth, and power handling capability should be considered. Methods of measuring the transmission (or reception) pattern that determines antenna gain with a VNA will be examined in this article.

The R&S NRPxE sensors feature a user-friendly design with IEEE-compliant label and connector color coding, ensuring safe and secure operation. The built-in trigger capability and RGB status LED provide additional convenience, allowing users to monitor sensor status and trigger measurements with ease.

Seamless Integration and Remote Control

Equipped with a USBTMC interface, the R&S NRPxE sensors can be easily integrated into test systems and controlled remotely via PC or mobile device. The free PowerViewer mobile app enables on-the-go measurements using an Android smartphone, making it perfect for field service and maintenance applications.

The new R&S NRPxE RF power sensors replace the established NRP-Z2x1 RF power sensors, offering up-to-date power measurements on modulated and unmodulated signals.
