Key Facts
Picture R&S®ZVB Vector Network Analyzers

LXI Class C conformant

The R&S®ZVB series of vector network analyzers covers the frequency ranges from 300 kHz to 4/8 GHz and from 10 MHz to 14/20 GHz. It has been designed for universal measurements on passive and active components. The R&S®ZVB series greatly simplifies vector network analysis especially for multiport measurements and measurements on balanced devices. Featuring comprehensive measurement functions, excellent specifications, high measurement and data transfer speeds and remote-control capability, the analyzers of the R&S®ZVB series are an ideal choice for both development and production applications. The compact versions of the 14 GHz and 20 GHz two-port models leave ample room for test setups in the lab, featuring a height of only 24 cm and a depth of 42 cm.

  • New multiport concept
    • Instruments with two or four test ports – for multiport and balanced measurements
    • Two internal sources (four-port models) – to provide RF and LO signals for mixer measurements by means of a single unit
    • Capability to perform balanced measurements – to characterize balanced DUTs by their mixed mode S-parameters
    • Optional automatic calibration units – to speed up calibration and avoid operator errors
