Vector network analysers

25 October 2000 Test & Measurement

The ZVR family of vector network analysers from Rohde & Schwarz includes five models for all requirements. The series has a wide range of features that ensure versatility, speed and accuracy.

With a great variety of options and test sets, the ZVR series includes ZVRL, ZVRE, ZVR, ZVCE and ZVC, extending the frequency range to 8 GHz. All models are compact instruments with integrated generator, test set and receiver, each tailored to a specific field of application.

Features include: large dynamic range; low inherent noise; broad frequency range for universal use; high measurement speed; fast data transfer via IEC/IEEE bus; customised models for special applications; high sweep rate; manual calibration techniques; automatic calibration and compatibility with PC, CAE.

Models are:

* ZVRL - basic model. Comprises a test set with one SWR bridge, two measurement channels and one reference channel.

* ZVRE and ZVCE - the economy models. The test set of these two models comprises two SWR bridges or directional couplers, an RF switch, two measurement channels and one reference channel.

* ZVR and ZVC - the universal model. These models comprise a test set with two SWR bridges or directional couplers, an RF switch, two measurement channels and two reference channels.
