AT A GLANCE Offering outstanding RF characteristics and a unique hardware architecture, the R&S®ZNA high-end vector network analyzer makes demanding measurements easier than ever. Another exceptional feature is the analyzer's DUT-centric operating concept, which guides users quickly and conveniently to the desired measurement setup. Two independent touchscreens provide utmost flexibility for smooth, efficient operation. The R&S®ZNA features exceptional stability, low trace noise and excellent raw data, making it a perfect choice for development and production applications that require high accuracy,...

The analyzer's DUT-centric operating concept makes it possible to achieve the desired setup at an nrivaled u speed. Users no longer need to work through a ungle j of menus. Instead, a wizard guides them step by step through configuration and calibration. All relevant p arameters are covered, and measurement traces are created in just a few steps. The instrument provides numerous software applications, e.g. for intuitive configuration of group delay and spectrum measurements. The R&S®ZNA characterizes low-noise amplifiers (LNA), r eceivers, frequency-converting DUTs and transmit/receive (T/R)...

UNIQUE OPERATING CONCEPT WITH TWO OUCHSCREENS T Operation using touch gestures Users can operate the R&S®ZNA via two independent touchscreens: ► Innovative control panel on the right instead of mechanical keys which can wear out over time ► 12.1" touch display on the left for configuring and displaying measurements The dual-screen operating concept offers utmost lexibility f in configuring measurements. Touch gestures are used to zoom, move traces and add markers. Traces, channels and diagrams can be dragged and dropped to arrange them in any desired combination. The control panel on the right...

Control of the R&S®ZNA via touch panel. Users benefit from all-in-one dialogs, which Users can configure measurement tasks conveniently with touch gestures. provide a clear overview of all key parameters and help to keep track of the overall measurement configuration. After all the required settings have been made, the a nalyzer utomatically creates and displays the associated a c hannels and traces. If desired, the user can complete the measurement configuration by adding system error correction, which is likewise executed step by step. Trace analysis functions Fast switching between instrument...
