Network analyser

The R&S ZVB20 is a vector network analyser for microwaves up to 20 GHz.

The instrument expands the family of analysers covering the frequency range from 300 kHz to 8 GHz.

Available as a two- and four-port model, the instrument is suitable for universal measurements on multiports and on balanced DUTs. High measurement and data transfer speed plus display and analysis make the unit suitable for use in R&D and production.

Its various applications include measurements during the production of microwave components for mobile radio and broadband communications as well as in aeronautical, aerospace and military engineering.

The analysers have high measurement speed, a dynamic range of greater than 130 dB and maximum output of up to +13 dBm. The analyser can be operated via context-sensitive pull-down menus using the mouse as well as via hardkeys and softkeys.

Wizards support complex operating sequences, including calibration. The wizards provide the basic settings for various measurements.

Different instrument set-ups can be stored on the integrated hard disk. Several set-ups can be loaded simultaneously into the unit's RAM. This enables fast switchover between the different set-ups by pressing a key, clicking the mouse or entering a control command; this characteristic is especially beneficial for use in production, but also when performing additional manual measurements. Up to 20,001 measurement points per trace can be stored. Marker and analysis functions for evaluating measurement results as well as import and export capabilities for different data formats are available.
