Product overview
The R&S®ZND is an entry-class two-port network analyzer for RF component production and development — basic, solid performance network analysis. The base instrument measures unidirectionally from 100 kHz to 4.5 GHz (S11 and S21), and software options add bidirectional measurements and extend the range to 8.5 GHz. A large 30 cm touchscreen fronts a direct user interface, with more than 100 traces and channels, a measurement bandwidth down to 1 Hz, a power sweep range of up to 48 dB, and automatic calibration in 30 seconds. The command set is shared with the R&S®ZNB family, which keeps system integration and upgrades simple.
Key features
- Two-port unidirectional design measuring S11 and S21 from 100 kHz to 4.5 GHz, extendable to 8.5 GHz
- Dynamic range above 120 dB (typ. 130 dB), so weak signals are still measured accurately
- 30 cm (12.1") capacitive touchscreen with a flat menu structure — any function is at most three steps away
- More than 100 traces and channels, so several measurements are shown at once
- IF bandwidth from 1 Hz to 300 kHz and a power sweep range of 48 dB, to suit whatever the measurement needs
- Automatic calibration in 30 seconds with an R&S®ZN-ZE series calibration unit, which cuts setup time sharply
- Options for time domain measurements (TDR), extended power range, a GPIB interface and handler I/O
- Shares the SCPI command set with the R&S®ZNB family, protecting existing automation code
Typical applications
- Production test of passive RF components for mobile communications (filters, antennas, duplexers)
- RF component development: amplifiers, connectors, cable loss and return loss measurements
- First-pass PCB signal integrity assessment and high-speed transmission line characterization
- Training and teaching laboratories, for learning VNA operation quickly
- RF filter tuning (with SynMatrix software for live filter optimization)
- De-embedding measurements that remove the error contributed by a test fixture and its interconnects
