Product overview
The R&S®ZNBT is a true multiport VNA: up to 24 fully integrated test ports, every one with a fully phase-coherent receiver. One reflectometer per test port removes the insertion loss an external switch matrix would bring, and that architecture is what gives the instrument its wide dynamic range (up to 140 dB), high output power, low trace noise and excellent raw directivity and load match. All ports of a device are measured simultaneously, which suits both complex characterization of active and passive components and fast production test — a 201-point sweep takes as little as 2.5 ms.
Key features
- Up to 24 fully integrated test ports, all phase coherent, with no external switch matrix
- Dynamic range of up to 140 dB for accurate measurements
- Sweep times as short as 2.5 ms for 201 points, shortening the production test cycle
- Simultaneous measurement of every device port, with more than 100 traces and channels
- A choice of calibration methods: TOSM, TSM, TRL/LRL and UOSM
- Frequency conversion measurements, for amplifier and mixer characterization
- Time domain analysis with gating and eye diagram display
- Advanced embedding and de-embedding options, including IEEE 370
Typical applications
- Active and passive component characterization: full S-parameter measurements and complex characterization of amplifiers, filters, connectors and cables
- Multiport device test: every port of a multiport device measured at once, which suits antennas, multiport filters and phased array systems
- Aerospace and defense: avionics, radar systems, satellite payloads and space test, where reliability matters
- Automotive connectivity and millimeterwave radar: connectivity, EMC, antenna and automotive radar (77 GHz and similar) test and verification
- High-speed digital PCB characterization: with Delta-L 4.0 and the IEEE 370 de-embedding options, for high-speed differential transmission lines, connectors and PCB materials
- Research and education: antenna research, material characterization and 5G/6G component development in universities and research institutes
