R&S®ZNL and used for deembedding/embedding. Fixture compensation adjusts measurement results to eliminate the unwanted effects of test fixtures or adapters located between the calibrated reference plane and the DUT. Remote control via LAN and optional GPIB interface The R&S®ZNL can be remotely controlled with a standard LAN interface. A remote controller can be connected to the R&S®ZNL with an optional GPIB interface. Data is transmitted bidirectionally on the 8-bit parallel bus. The measured data from a sweep is transferred to the controller while the next sweep is in progress, making data transfer...

THE 3-IN-1 ANALYZER: FULLY NTEGRATED I SPECTRUM ANALYZER Different operating modes transform the R&S®ZNL vector n etwork analyzer into a versatile multipurpose instrument. The R&S®ZNLx-B1 hardware option expands the base unit to include a fully integrated spectrum analyzer on a dedicated hardware board. Switching between modes no longer requires a reboot. Integrated hardware for solid RF performance The R&S®ZNLx-B1 ptions use dedicated hardware boards o for performance comparable to dedicated economy and midrange spectrum nalyzers. The R&S®ZNL with speca trum analyzer hardware typically has phase...

Analog demodulation Digital demodulation The R&S®FPL1-K7 option adds analog demodulation capabilities to the R&S®ZNL to determine amplitude, frequency and phase modulated signals while measuring other components such as residual FM and synchronous modulation. Typical R&S®FPL1-K7 applications include: ► Transient and settling time measurements of oscillators such as VCOs and PLLs ► Troubleshooting AM/FM transmitters ► Simple chirp analysis of pulsed and continuous wave signals The R&S®ZNL with the R&S®ZNLx-B1 spectrum analysis option has up to 40 MHz analysis bandwidth to analyze and demodulate...

THE 3-IN-1 ANALYZER: RF POWER METER UP Precise power measurements The R&S®FPL1-K9 option supports R&S®NRP power sen sors 1) and enables precise power measurements. It requires the R&S®ZNLx-B1 spectrum analyzer option. Power sensors can be connected via USB or the ruggedized power sensor connector included with the R&S®FPL1-B5 additional interface option. Up to four power sensors can be connected in arallel. p The power sensors can also trigger measurements at d efined power levels. For a complete list of R&S®NRP power sensors supported by R&S®FPL1-K9, please refer to the product brochure (PD...

Independent continuous wave (CW) source All R&S®ZNL models with the R&S®ZNLx‑B1 spectrum analyzer option in combination with R&S®ZNL-K14 independent CW source option can measure the output frequency spectrum of a DUT onnected to port 2, with the c DUT input riven by a CW signal from port 1. d The R&S®ZNL-K14 option allows for a more detailed analysis of the DUT frequency response and can measure parameters such as harmonics and search for spurious frequency components. The option also enables measurements on frequency-converting DUTs if an external signal source is present. Frequency sweep of...
