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.


 

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

  Outstanding specifications
  • 60001 points per trace
  • Dynamic range better than 123 dB (typ. 130 dB)
  • Power sweep range >50 dB

  High speed
  • Measurement time < 4.5 ms for 201 test points (frequency sweep)
  • Switching time between channels < 1 ms
  • Switching time between instrument setups < 10 ms
  • Data transfer time < 0.7 ms (201 test points via RSIB
  • Simultaneous measurement of more than one DUT

  Modern user interface
  • Intuitive Windows-based operation via mouse
  • Operation by means of hardkeys and softkeys
  • Large number of channels, traces and setups that can be loaded simultaneously

 

Applications:

  • Balanced measurements
  • Mixer and harmonics measurements
  • Time domain measurements
  • Enhanced resolution with linear prediction function
