Key facts
The three-in-one vector network analyzer (VNA), spectrum analyzer (SA) and power meter for field and lab excellence
The R&S®ZNL helps reduce investment costs with a unique option concept. The base models support frequencies from 5 kHz to 20 GHz and they can be expanded to include a fully integrated spectrum analyzer and support RF power meters. Furthermore, spectrum analysis supports a CW signal generator option. Instead of investing in multiple instruments, research labs, service centers, universities and production facilities can use a single, compact instrument that offers even higher measurement speeds and better RF performance than dedicated instruments in comparable classes.
Benchtop VNA with a small footprint
The R&S®ZNL combines a vector network analyzer, a spectrum analyzer and a power meter in a single, compact box. The all-in-one instrument is ideal for development, production and service environments with constantly changing test requirements.
Ideal for space saving setups
The R&S®ZNL boasts a compact design with a remarkable footprint that is just 40.8 cm wide, 18.6 cm high and less than 24 cm deep.
Built-in guided user interface wizards
Rohde & Schwarz has manual calibration kits and automatic calibration units for faster and more convenient calibration. Guided user interface wizards for S-parameters and calibration standards on the R&S®ZNL ensure a convenient and hassle-free setup.
Increase efficiency with calibration units
The R&S®ZNL supports both automatic calibration units (R&S®ZN‑ZE1xx) and manual calibration kits (R&S®ZN‑Z1xx), simplifying calibration, while reducing operator errors and improving calibration repeatability
Smart investment
The R&S®ZNL is a highly scalable and versatile vector network analyzer that reduces investment costs and has a unique option concept. It has a variety of functions that can be easily expanded.
Multiview of the R&S®ZNL
The sequencer function toggles between network analyzer measurements and spectrum analyzer measurements.
Unlock the power measurement function in spectrum analyzer mode
The R&S®ZNL with the R&S®FPL1‑K9 option supports an extensive list of external R&S®NRP power sensors. Four power sensors can be connected in parallel to the VNA and precise power measurements performed simultaneously.
Supports 4 power sensors simultaneously
You can flexibly and precisely meet and tailor your measurement preferences and needs.
Battery and DC power supply for field use
The optional battery pack makes the R&S®ZNL a fully portable instrument ideal for field use. The optional 12 V/24 V DC power supply can be used to operate the R&S®ZNL in vehicles. The optional R&S®FPL1-Z2 transport bag protects the instrument against damage and dirt during transport and field deployments. Side vents and a transparent top cover allow portable operation while the instrument remains safely in the bag. A carrying vest holster is also available.
Ideal for both the lab and in the field
The carrying handle and optional battery pack make the R&S®ZNL a fully portable instrument.
