Key Facts
The R&S®ZNLx-B1 hardware options extend the base unit with a fully integrated spectrum analyzer on a dedicated hardware board. The instrument does not need to be rebooted to switch between modes.
The R&S®ZNLx-B1 options are dedicated hardware boards for performance comparable to pure economy and midrange spectrum analyzers. The R&S®ZNL with the spectrum analyzer hardware features a phase noise of typ. –108 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 kHz offset, a third-order intercept point of typ. +20 dBm, and a displayed average noise level (DANL) of typ. –150 dBm.
Vector network analyzer measurement (two different representations) is displayed.
In spectrum analyzer mode, the instrument provides the functions of a conventional spectrum analyzer. The analyzer measures the RF input signal frequency spectrum over the selected frequency range with the selected resolution and sweep time. It can also display the waveform of video signals for a fixed frequency. The spectrum analyzer function includes an I/Q analyzer for digital signal analysis.
Spectrum analyzer mode: the R&S®ZNL provides all standard spectrum analyzer functions from 5 kHz up to 26.5 GHz
The R&S®FPL1-K7 option adds analog demodulation capabilities to the R&S®ZNL. It determines the characteristics of amplitude, frequency and phase modulated signals and measures other components, such as residual FM and synchronous modulation.

The R&S®ZNL equipped with a R&S®ZNLx-B1 option can analyze and demodulate digitally modulated single-carrier signals with up to 40 MHz analysis bandwidth. The R&S®ZNL receives and digitalizes the signal, which is then analyzed by R&S®VSE vector signal explorer software with the R&S®VSE-K70 and/or R&S®VSE-K106 option. The software runs directly on the R&S®ZNL or an external PC.
