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
