R&S®ZVT Vector Network Analyzers
Frequency ranges from 300 kHz to 20 GHz, with two up to eight test ports
Features
The
- Extremely fast and accurate measurements on multiport DUTs
- No delay caused by switch matrix control
- Greater stability, reproducibility, and flexibility
- Measurements on balanced DUTs
- Virtual differential measurement mode (sequential stimulation of single-ended ports, standard mode)
- True differential measurement mode:
With eight test ports (four internal sources), up to four true differential signals can be generated and applied to the DUT ports simultaneously - Unique performance for measurements on amplifiers, mixers, receivers, frontends, etc.:
- Arbitrary frequency and power settings for internal generators and receivers as well as external generators
- Measurement of conversion loss, return loss, leakage, etc., of mixers
- Intermodulation and hot S-parameter measurements on amplifiers
- Intermodulation measurements on mixers by means of a single instrument
- Measurements on double-converting DUTs, with the RF, LO1, and LO2 signals delivered by a single unit
- Pulsed measurements on amplifiers, mixers, frontends, etc. (for details see "Applications" and "Options" tabs)
- Frequency- and power-swept point-in-pulse measurements
- Pulse profile measurements with 12.5 ns resolution on pulses, double pulses and pulse trains with a width smaller than 50 ns; recording time up to 3 ms
- Multichannel receiver
- Direct access to up to 16 channels by means of direct generator/receiver access option
- Parallel, synchronous sampling of channels, e.g. for phase measurements on antenna arrays
- Ideal for use in production
- Parallel measurements on several DUTs increase throughput many times over
- Reduced instrumentation effort
