The eight-port/six-port vector network analyzer works with a frequency range from 300 kHz to 8 GHz/10 MHz to 20 GHz. The R&S®ZVT8 contains up to four internal generators and up to 16 receivers. The R&S®ZVT20 includes up to three internal generators and up to 12 receivers. This unique concept with one generator per two test ports makes the R&S®ZVT ideal for intermodulation measurements, even on mixers, (true) differential balanced measurements, multi-receiver measurements with antennas or high throughput and efficiency in production.
Extremely fast and accurate measurements on multiport DUTs
No delay caused by switch matrix control
Greater stability, reproducibility, and flexibility
Measurements on balanced DUTs
Virtual differential measurement mode (sequential stimulation of single-ended ports, standard mode)
True differential measurement mode:
With eight test ports (four internal sources), up to four true differential signals can be generated and applied to the DUT ports simultaneously
Unique performance for measurements on amplifiers, mixers, receivers, frontends, etc.:
Arbitrary frequency and power settings for internal generators and receivers as well as external generators
Measurement of conversion loss, return loss, leakage, etc., of mixers
Intermodulation and hot S-parameter measurements on amplifiers
Intermodulation measurements on mixers by means of a single instrument
Measurements on double-converting DUTs, with the RF, LO1, and LO2 signals delivered by a single unit
Pulsed measurements on amplifiers, mixers, frontends, etc. (for details see "Applications" and "Options" tabs)
Frequency- and power-swept point-in-pulse measurements
Pulse profile measurements with 12.5 ns resolution on pulses, double pulses and pulse trains with a width smaller than 50 ns; recording time up to 3ms
Multichannel receiver
Direct access to up to 16 channels by means of direct generator/receiver access option
Parallel, synchronous sampling of channels, e.g. for phase measurements on antenna arrays
Ideal for use in production
Parallel measurements on several DUTs increase throughput many times over
Reduced instrumentation effort
