Product specs for Rohde & Schwarz ZVC

Rohde & Schwarz ZVC

Product Description:

Rohde & Schwarz ZVC 20 kHz to 8 GHz, Vector Network Analyzer

The Rohde & Schwarz ZVC network analyzer is an instrument which measures the complex transmission and reflection characteristics of two-port devices in the frequency domain. It does this by sampling the incident signal, separating the transmitted and reflected waves, and then performing ratios that are directly related to the reflection and transmission coefficients of the two-port. Frequency is swept to rapidly obtain amplitude and phase information over a band of frequencies of interest.

Rohde & Schwarz ZVC network analyzers utilize synthesized-frequency sources to provide a known test stimulus that can sweep across a range of frequencies or power levels. Rohde & Schwarz ZVC network analyzers also can perform ratioed measurements (including phase), which require multiple receivers. The Rohde & Schwarz ZVC can provide a wealth of knowledge about a device under test (DUT), including its magnitude, phase, and group-delay response.

The vector network analyzers of the ZVR family from Rohde & Schwarz have set standards for extremely fast, highly accurate and versatile test equipment. The family comprises the five Vector Network Analyzers ZVRL, ZVRE and ZVR as well as ZVCE and ZVC which extend the frequency range to 8 GHz. All models are compact instruments with integrated generator, test set and receiver, each tailored to a different field of application. All analyzers can be subsequently upgraded to the higher-class models.

Thanks to the great variety of options and test sets, the analyzers can be tailored even to very special kinds of measurement tasks.

Excellent dynamic range:

>130 dB (IF bandwidth 10 Hz)

Low inherent noise:

<-110 dBm (IF bandwidth 3 kHz)

Broad frequency range for universal use:

10 Hz to 4 GHz (ZVRL, ZVRE, ZVR)

20 kHz to 8 GHz (ZVCE, ZVC)

High measurement speed:

<125 microsec/point (normalized)

ZVR and ZVC comprise a test set with two SWR bridges (ZVR) or directional couplers (ZVC), an RF switch, two measurement channels and - unlike ZVRE and ZVCE - two reference channels. With this configuration a variety of novel calibration procedures, eg TNA, can be performed, which considerably improve the accuracy particularly in non-coaxial applications. ZVR and ZVC are the allrounders of the family and suitable for applications in R&D and production no matter how sophisticated.
