Rohde&Schwarz NPA Power Analyzer
Models R&S NPA101, NPA501, NPA501-G, NPA701, NPA701-G up to 500 kS/s
The Rohde&Schwarz NPA series are a family of compact power analyzers. The testers are designed for AC/DC load or standby current characterization, with a basic accuracy of 0.05%. These analyzers facilitate power measurements across a broad spectrum, ranging from 50 µW to 12 kW, enabling signal acquisition from DC to 100 kHz at an impressive sampling rate of 500 kS/s. Beyond numerical displays of 26 critical parameters, the instruments offer optional graphical features and compliance protocols aligned with industry standards depending upon the chosen model.
