Mid-Range Vector Network Analysers Cover 100KHz to 40GHz
Rhode & Schwarz has launched the mid-range R&S ZNB20 and R&S ZNB40 vector network analysers for frequency ranges from 100 kHz to 20 GHz and from 1 MHz to 40GHz. The analysers are equipped with two test ports and offer measurement characteristics that are on a similar level as high-end instruments.
A dyThe ZNB20 offers a large dynamic range even at its start frequency of 10 kHz. This makes it possible to perform precise measurements on wideband DUTs or components whose behaviour at low frequencies is especially important. The measurement time of only 5ms with 401 points delivers high throughput in production. The broad electronic control range of the output level up to 70dB allows quick analysis of the small and large signal behavior of active components. The large selection of calibration methods ensures that users are always able to make the right choice for the specific application.
The analysers have a touchscreen for intuitive, convenient operation. The advanced operating concept featuring a very flat menu structure helps users find the necessary instrument functions in no more than three steps. The 30cm (12.1in.) screen offers gives a clear display of the measurement results.
Low power consumption and sophisticated cooling concept keep operating noise and heat dissipation to a minimum, thereby reducing operating costs.
The ZNB20 and ZNB40 two-port models are now available. A four-port model of the ZNB20 will be available in autumn 2013.
