The R&S NRPC-LS can be combined in a simple test setup with a PC, an RF signal generator, and an R&S NRX power meter to create a linearity calibration system for all R&S NRP power sensors. The integrated reference standard was derived from the R&S NRQ6 frequency selective power sensor and can be configured with the same SCPI commands. The accuracy of the linearity standard is intrinsic to its design. This accuracy negates the effects of drift and aging. The linearity uncertainty specification is traceable to Germany’s national metrology institute (PTB). In a calibration certificate with an accreditation symbol, the linearity reference standard is traced back to SI units.

Excellent Linearity and Level Stability

The linearity of the R&S NRPC-LS is almost exclusively determined by calibration traceability limits. The measurand (linearity) is traced to RF standard attenuation measuring equipment at the PTB.
