Key facts

  • Wide frequency range from 5 kHz up to 20 GHz
  • Optional spectrum analysis and power sensor support up to 26.5 GHz
  • CW signal generator spectrum analysis option
  • Cost-efficient, portable (battery-powered option), precise, versatile
  • 3-year warranty extension

The 3-in-1 allrounder

Portable network analyzer, optional spectrum analyzer (with independent CW source) and power sensor support

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.

Features & benefits

Compact

Benchtop VNA with a small form factor

With a depth of less than 24 cm and weighing only 6 kg to 8 kg, the R&S®ZNL is the most compact instrument in its class. The small footprint leaves plenty of space on the workbench – more than with any other comparable benchtop analyzer.

Ideal for the field
Open Lightbox

Ideal for the field

With a carrying handle and an optional battery pack, the R&S®ZNL is a fully portable instrument ideal for field use

Multifunctional

Many instruments, one box

The spectrum analyzer option available on all the models saves even more space, since the R&S®ZNL offers the functions of different instruments in the same compact size. The R&S®FPL1-K9 option adds support for R&S®NRP power sensors, and the R&S®ZNL-K14 option adds an independent CW signal generator, turning the R&S®ZNL into a multi-functional analysis device.

Three-in-one
Open Lightbox

Three-in-one

All R&S®ZNL models can be equipped with a spectrum analyzer up to 26.5 GHz, adding the R&S®FPL scope of functions. The R&S®ZNL-K14 option adds an independent CW signal generator to measure harmonics and spurious frequency components

Portable

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 deployment. 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.
