Product overview
The R&S®ZNA is the flagship of the Rohde & Schwarz VNA portfolio, and it masters the most challenging measurement tasks by combining excellent RF performance with deep software capability and a hardware architecture no other analyzer has. A DUT-centric approach and unique touch-only operation across two independent touchscreens make it a powerful, versatile and compact system for characterizing passive and active components alike. System dynamic range exceeds 129 dB as specified and reaches 170 dB with options, with sensitivity better than −120 dBm in a 1 Hz IF bandwidth. Frequency extension kits take the measurement range to 1.1 THz through the R&S®ZVA-Z and R&S®ZC converter families.
Key features
- Dynamic range above 129 dB as specified, 147 dB typical with the B3 third/fourth internal source option and up to 170 dB at maximum while a full two-port calibration remains possible — enough to characterize high-blocking passive and active devices accurately
- Trace noise down to 0.005 dB RMS specified and 0.002 dB RMS typical, with group delay trace noise falling from 200 ps to 15 ps peak-to-peak with option K9, for stable, repeatable results
- Four-port models carry up to four phase-coherent, independently configurable internal sources with pulse modulators, so mixers, frequency converters, phased array antennas and active load pull need no external generator
- Two independent touchscreens (12.1" main plus 7" secondary) and a DUT-centric approach, with multitouch gestures throughout a genuinely touch-only interface
- Leading measurement speed: < 2.5 ms for 201 points in a 1 MHz measurement bandwidth, and frequency extension to 1.1 THz through the R&S®ZVA-Z and R&S®ZC converter families
- Removable internal computer (AMD R2000, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC) for smooth firmware upgrades, with IEC/IEEE-488, LAN (1 Gbit/s) and USB remote control
- Winner of Best Test and Measurement Product at the Electronics Industry Awards 2020
Typical applications
- Characterizing millimeterwave components and subsystems: 5G NR FR2, satellite communications and aerospace radar above 26.5 GHz, including on-wafer measurements to 110 GHz
- Full mixer and frequency converter characterization: scalar and vector-corrected converter measurements (options K4/K5), group delay and phase linearity analysis, intermodulation (IM) measurements, up into the THz range
- Signal integrity and high-speed digital interface test: PCIe 5.0/6.0 and IEEE 802.3 high-speed Ethernet compliance measurements, time domain analysis (TDR/TDT) and eye diagrams (option K20), fixture de-embedding (K210/K220/K230)
- Phased array (AESA) and beamforming verification: control of four phase-coherent sources (option K6) with arbitrary phase and amplitude, for transmit/receive modules and 5G small cell verification
- Amplifier characterization: noise figure measurements to 67 GHz (option K30), large-signal compression point testing, harmonic distortion analysis and active load pull on high-power amplifiers
- Pulsed signal measurements (option K7): minimum pulse width 40 ns with timing diagram visualization, for radar components, T/R modules and pulsed amplifier characterization
- Sub-THz on-wafer measurements: 6G communications and sensing research, with differential RF measurements to 110 GHz on amplifiers, mixers and differential transmission lines
