Key Facts

Optional spectrum analysis and digital communications standards
Bidirectional test set for displaying all four S-parameters

Brief Description

The R&S^®ZVL is a cost-efficient, powerful, and portable network analyzer in the compact class, and is therefore ideal for use in development, production, and service. It is the only instrument to combine the functions of a network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and power meter in a single box, and will thus tremendously increase your work efficiency.

Features

Full one-port (OSM), full two-port (TOSM), and one-path two-port calibration
Measurement of S-parameters, impedance, admittance, and stability

Specifications

Frequency range	9 kHz (typ. 5 kHz) to 3 GHz/6 GHz/13.6 GHz
Measurement time (201 test points at 100 kHz IF bandwidth, with normalization calibration)	<50 ms

Supported Technologies

3GPP FDD BTS (+ R&S^®FSL-K72)
WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/j (+ R&S^®FSL-K91)
WiMAX² IEEE 802.16 OFDM/OFDMA (+R&S^®FSL-K93)
