The Power Reflection Meter ¸NRT – a concept satisfying hig

Directional power meters are connected between

source and load and measure the power flow in
both directions. The power applied to the load and
the reflection can thus be measured.

Compared to low-cost instruments, power meters

such as the ¸NRT provide a number of bene-
fits: most importantly high measurement accuracy
through excellent directivity and a measurement
method that determines the average power like a
thermal power meter. The instruments thus provide
correct measurement results even in case of modu-

1) Dependent on measurement function.

2) Ratio of measured forward and reverse power in dB with perfectly matched load.
3) Specifications apply to measurement of forward power.
4) Values in [ ]: 2 g 1 forward direction (if different from 1 g 2 forward direction).
5) Power measurement below the specified limits is possible at the expense of an increased influence of zero offset.
6) Measurement of average power up to the CW limits is possible at the expense of increased measurement errors.
7) Expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of k = 2. For normal distribution, this coverage factor has a coverage probability of 95 %.
8) With matched load (SWR 1.2 max.) under consideration of the carrier frequency which must be input to an accuracy of 1 %, measurement results referenced to the load
end of the sensor, averaging filter set to automatic mode (high resolution). The influence of the carrier harmonics can be ignored provided they are below –30 dBc up to
5 GHz. With an SWR of more than 1.2 on the load end, the influence of directivity on the measured forward power is to be considered. The associated expanded uncer-
tainty with a coverage factor of k = 2 is equal to 6 % of rdg (0.25 dB) × the load reflection coefficient. Example: A mismatched load with 3.0 SWR yields a 0.5 reflection
coefficient, producing an additional uncertainty of 3 % of rdg (0.13 dB). The overall measurement uncertainty will be increased to 4.4 % of rdg (0.19 dB).
9) With matched load (SWR 1.2 max.) under consideration of the carrier frequency which must be input to an accuracy of 1 %; measurement results referenced to the load
end of the sensor, averaging filter set to automatic mode (high resolution). The influence of harmonics of the carrier can be neglected provided they are below –30 dBc up
to 4 GHz, –35 dBc from 4 GHz to 10 GHz and –60 dBc above 10 GHz. With an SWR of more than 1.2 on the load end, the influence of directivity on measured forward power
is to be considered. The associated expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of k = 2 equals 6 % of rdg (0.25 dB) × load reflection coefficient for carrier frequencies up
to 3 GHz and 10 % of rdg (0.4 dB) × load reflection coefficient from 3 to 4 GHz. Example: a mismatched load with 3.0 SWR yields a 0.5 reflection coefficient leading to an
additional uncertainty of 3 % of rdg (0.13 dB) in the frequency range up to 3 GHz. Overall measurement uncertainty will be increased to 4.4 % of rdg (0.19 dB).

11) In temperature range 18 °C to 28 °C, relative to a CW signal. The error depends on the modulation parameters for each case, e.g. the modulation frequency with AM, and
the individual sensor characteristics. The specified tolerances refer to 1 g 2 forward direction and a power of 30 W (¸NRT-Z43) or 120 W (¸NRT-Z44). With burst
signals, the specified errors refer to an average burst power of 30 W (¸NRT-Z43) or 120 W (¸NRT-Z14/-Z44). Since errors due to modulation are proportional to
power, they become smaller the lower the power: a WCDMA signal with an average power of 30 W, for example will only cause a very small error of about ±0.5 % of the
¸NRT-Z44 sensor with modulation correction switched on.
12) With modulation correction switched on.
13) With modulation correction switched on (same as WCDMA), chip rate set to 3.6864 Mc/s.
14) Signal similar to test model 1 with 64 channels for downlink with 3.84 Mc/s in line with 3GPP standard 3G TS 25.141 V3.1.0 (2000-03); modulation correction switched on,
chip rate set according to test signal.
15) Statistically distributed with a mean value of 0 %/K, the stated temperature coefficients corresponding to approximately two standard deviations. Temperature coef-
ficients must be considered for calculation of measurement uncertainty below 18 °C and above 28 °C. Example: at +5 °C and 1 GHz a temperature drift of
(18 – 5) × 0.25 % = 3.25 % of rdg (0.14 dB) for average power measurement can be expected relative to 18 °C. Combined with the measurement uncertainty of 3.2 % at
18 °C to 28 °C the overall uncertainty will be 4.6 % of rdg (0.19 dB).
16) Measurement results settled with power-dependent (automatic) averaging. Each measurement time is defined as the time from the input of the trigger command up to
the termination of the return string (baud rate 38400). All measurement results consist of two measured values: one each for the forward power measurement function
and for the selected reflection parameter (SWR, return loss, reflection coefficient or reflected power). When operated on the ¸NRT, the specified measurement times
increase by 0.05 s.
17) After zero adjustment, unmodulated burst signal with rectangular envelope. The burst power must be at least 1 W for the ¸NRT-Z43 and at least 4 W for the
¸NRT-Z14 and the ¸NRT-Z44. For the ¸NRT-Z43 and the ¸NRT-Z44, the burst width must be >2 ms {4 kHz}, >40 µs {200 kHz} and >5 µs {”FULL”}. For the
¸NRT-Z14, the burst width must be >2 ms {4 kHz}, >40 µs {200 kHz} and >10 µs {”FULL”}. Since the measurement uncertainty is inversely proportional to the burst
width and the power, it may have smaller or higher values for other waveforms.
18) In temperature range 18 °C to 28 °C, video bandwidth “FULL“, PEP defined as power with a CCDF value <10 -6.
19) Setting must be initiated with a “rev:pow“ command in addition to the setting command for the forward measurement function via the remote interface of the sensor.
Since the sensor measures average reverse power with this setting (a parameter normally not of interest in combination with any function other than average power
measurement), the setting is denoted as “PEP measurement only“ or “CCDF measurement only“.
20) After zero adjustment, unmodulated burst signal with rectangular envelope, threshold value set to half the burst power. The burst power must be at least 1 W for the
¸NRT-Z43 and at least 4 W for the ¸NRT-Z44. For the ¸NRT-Z43 and the ¸NRT-Z44, the repetition rate must be <50/s {4 kHz}, <2500/s {200 kHz} and
<20000/s {”FULL”}. For the ¸NRT-Z14, the repetition rate must be <50/s {4 kHz}, <2500/s {200 kHz} and <10000/s {”FULL”}. Since the measurement uncertainty is
proportional to the repetition rate and inversely proportional to the power, it may have smaller or higher values for other waveforms. For spread spectrum signals such as
cdmaOne, CDMA2000®(3x), WCDMA, DAB and DVB-T, the measurement uncertainty is optimally described by an uncertainty for the threshold setting. This uncertainty
is taken into account in addition to the specified value. With modulation correction switched on, this additional uncertainty is approx. 5 % of the power value in W for the
aforementioned standards.
21) 0.4 MHz only with PEP measurement.
22) With matched load (SWR 1.2 max.), test signal with unmodulated envelope (CW, FM, ϕM, FSK, GMSK or similar), measurement results referenced to the load end of the
sensor. The maximum uncertainty specified in the table is roughly equal to the expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of k=2. With an SWR of more than 1.2 on the
load end, the influence of directivity on measured forward power is to be considered. The associated expanded uncertainty in percent with a coverage factor of 2 is equal
to 6 % × the reflection coefficient of the load at a directivity of 30 dB. Example: A mismatched load with 3.0 SWR yields a 0.5 reflection coefficient, producing an additional
uncertainty of 6 × 0.5 % = 3 %.
23) Measurement results settled.
24) Values in [ ] taking into consideration the calibration factors determined for the sensor.
25) Upper limit of the power range.
