R&S®ZVA Vector Network Analyzers
Frequency ranges from 300 kHz to 50 GHz, with two or four test ports
Features
Connectivity
Various rear-panel connectors are provided to support the following:
- Control of the instrument by remote control software.
- DC and power measurements using an
R&S®NRP sensor. - Synchronization (reference frequency, external trigger, sweep and trigger status indication for direct and fast interaction with external devices).
- Sweep-time measurement: Pin 4 of the USER CONTROL port indicates the measurement duration, corresponding to the setting in the “Trigger settings” menu (sweep, sweep segment, test points, or partial measurement). By using an oscilloscope, you can easily monitor the real execution time required in each case.
