LAN allows sensors to work remotely

摘要

Three-path diode sensors that support LAN, an ideal choice for remotely controlled applications over large distances, are now available from Rohde & Schwarz.. The R&S NRP8SN model offers both a USB and a LAN interface. Both power sensor models are available in three different frequency ranges, from 10MHz to 8GHz, to 18GHz and to 33GHz. The LAN interface allows remote power measurements over large distances. By placing sensors at various positions this makes it possible, for example, to control monitoring applications for satellite systems or particle accelerators via a central PC. The power sensor would be controlled using a GUI accessed via a web browser.
