ZNB3004 4-port Vector network analyser, 9kHz – 9GHz, receiver step attenuators (4), type N (f)

The ZNB3000 vector network analysers are the instrument of choice for applications in the communications, electronic goods and aerospace industries as well as in the design of digital high-speed printed circuit boards and cables. It delivers the best results in environments where high-volume production and short ramp-up times are the norm. This VNA offers a flexible upgrade concept for rapid upscaling and to adapt to your requirements. With its high measurement speed and stability, outstanding RF performance and extended functionality, the ZNB3000 is the instrument that will get the job done.

This ZNB3004 4-port vector network analyser features:

• Frequency range of 9kHz to 9GHz
• Second internal generator (B2)
• Extended power range down to -60dBm (B24)
• Receiver step attenuator, electronical, 30 dB, 10 dB steps; on all 4 ports (B31 B32 B33 B34)
• Time domain analysis (K2)
• Noise figure measurement (K30

The wide, electronically adjustable power sweep range from –60 dBm to +13 dBm enables fast analysis of the linear and nonlinear characteristics of small and large-signal amplifiers. Electronic step attenuators in the receive paths increase the 0.1 dB compression point to +27 dBm. The wear-free attenuators feature delay-free switching, which speeds up measurements and extends the useful life of this VNA.

This 4-port ZNB3000 can measure two 2-port devices in parallel, additionally improving device characterisation throughput. The two independent generators can be offset in frequency to avoid crosstalk on wafer measurements, thus improving yield and accuracy.
