Product Description:
The R&S®ZVB4 vector network analyzer covers the frequency range from 300 kHz to 4 GHz. The Rohde & Schwarz ZVB4 is designed for general measurement of passive and active components. The analyzer greatly simplifies vector network analysis, especially for multi-port measurements and measurements on balanced devices. The R&S®ZVB4 offers comprehensive measurement capabilities, excellent specifications, high measurement and data transfer speeds, and remote control capabilities, making it ideal for development and production applications.
Features:
Multiport concept
2 or 4 test ports - for multi-port and balanced measurements
Two internal sources (four-port models) - provide RF and LO signals for mixer measurements via a single unit
Ability to perform balance measurements - characterize balanced DUT with mixed mode S parameters
Optional automatic calibration unit - speed up calibration and avoid operator error
