Showing Results for Rohde & Schwarz ZNC3

High reliability, outstanding ease of operation, maximum precision and a wide dynamic range – this is what customers expect from a network analyzer. Using state-of-the-art technology and a user-friendly operating concept, Rohde & Schwarz has implemented all these features in its R&S®ZNC vector network analyzer.

Operating in a range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz, the network analyzer is targeted at applications in the mobile radio and electronic goods industries. The R&S®ZNC is the right choice when it comes to developing, producing and servicing RF components such as filters and cables.

The R&S®ZNC has a bidirectional test set for measuring all four S-parameters of active and passive DUTs. Plus, it offers calibration methods suitable for a wide range of T & M environments in development and production. The analyzer features excellent temperature and long-term stability, which ensures reliable measurements over several days without having to recalibrate the unit.

This short-depth, compact two-port analyzer leaves plenty of space on the workbench for the measurement application. It features low operating noise thanks to low power consumption and a sophisticated cooling concept. The low power consumption also reduces operating costs and protects the environment.
