The vector network analyzers of the ZVR family from Rohde&Schwarz set new standards regarding versatility, speed and accuracy. The family comprises the four Vector Network Analyzers 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 specific field of application.
With a bidirectional analyzer all four S-parameters of the DUT can be determined without changing connections.
The 4-channel analyzers provide the calibration methods TOM, TRM, TRL, TNA and TOM-X.
ZVR and ZVC comprise a test set with two SWR bridges or directional couplers, an RF switch, two measurement channels and – unlike ZVRE and ZVCE – two reference channels. With this configuration a variety of novel calibration procedures (e.g. TNA) can be performed, which considerably improves the accuracy particularly with noncoaxial applications. ZVR and ZVC are
the allrounders of the family and suitable for applications in R&D and production no matter how sophisticated
