1 = Signal source
2 = R&S power sensor
3 = Host Interface connector
4 = R&S NRP‑ZK8
5 = Sensor connector of the R&S NRX
6 = R&S NRX
Use an R&S NRP‑ZK8 cable to connect an R&S power sensor to the R&S NRX. If you
use an R&S NRP‑ZK6 cable, the reference clock and trigger are not supported.
1. 8-pin female connector of R&S NRP‑ZK8:
a) Insert the screw-lock cable connector into the host interface of the R&S power
sensor.
b) Tighten the union nut manually.
2. 8-pin male connector of R&S NRP‑ZK8:
a) Insert this connector into one of the sensor ports of the R&S NRX.
3. Connect the RF connector of the R&S power sensor to the signal source. For
details, see the user manual of the R&S power sensor.
Note: Incorrectly connecting/disconnecting an R&S power sensor can damage the
