(*) Best possible data, specific options, or 1 Hz IF bandwidth required. For details see “Specifications in Brief” or R&S®ZVA data sheet.

The R&S®ZVA has set milestones for the most challenging of applications:

First VNA with second internal source up to 67 GHz for fast two-tone measurements on amplifiers and mixers

  • Linear and nonlinear amplifier and mixer measurements:
    • Vector error corrected magnitude and phase measurements of the conversion loss of mixers
    • Group delay and relative phase measurements of mixers with embedded LO
    • Conversion loss and intermodulation measurements on mixers
    • Intermodulation and hot S-parameter measurements on amplifiers
  • Pulsed measurements:
    • First VNA with IF bandwidths up to 30 MHz for pulsed measurements on amplifiers and mixers up to 67 GHz (for details see "Applications" and "Options")
    • Pulse profile measurements with 12.5 ns resolution on pulses with a width smaller than 50 ns
    • Frequency- and power-swept point-in-pulse measurements
  • First VNA up to 50 GHz that generates phase-coherent signals
    • Quick and easy testing of balanced DUTs using true differential stimulation
    • Generation of signals with user-defined magnitude and phase relationship on the DUT plane
  • Calibration
    • Versatile calibration techniques: TOSM, TRL/LRL, TOM, TRM, TNA, UOSM
    • Easy and fast vector mixer calibration and “Adapter Removal” functionality with “unknown through” calibration UOSM
