Product overview
The R&S®ZNB vector network analyzer is a versatile instrument for mobile communications, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, and an obvious choice for high-speed PCB design. Leading in speed, dynamic range and ease of operation, it supports the development, production and maintenance of RF components of every kind — amplifiers, mixers, filters and cables among them.
Key features
- High power handling alongside high sensitivity, so a DUT with a wide dynamic range can be measured in one go
- Very low trace noise, for accurate and stable results
- Fast synthesizer settling, which brings measurement time down to 4 ms for a 401-point sweep
- Wide IF bandwidth options for fast sampling
- Segmented sweep, which lets you spend measurement time where the band matters
- Mixed-mode S-parameters for characterizing balanced DUTs
- Built-in embedding and de-embedding, for correcting fixtures and interconnects
- Frequency conversion measurements, for mixers and other nonlinear components
- Two independent internal sources available as an option, for more measurement flexibility
Typical applications
- Development and production test of mobile communications RF components (filters, amplifiers, antennas)
- Characterization of aerospace and defense RF systems
- Signal integrity analysis on high-speed printed circuit boards
- Development and verification of consumer electronics and wireless products
- Test of mixers, modulators and other frequency converting components
- Loss and reflection measurements on cables, connectors and passive components
