ZVA8 4-port, 300 kHz – 8 GHz Vector Network Analyzer, Type N (f)

The Rohde & Schwarz ZVA8 Vector Network Analyzer belongs to the manufacturer’s ZVA family of such devices. With its new R&S ZVA family of vector network analyzers, Rohde & Schwarz is taking a future-oriented approach. The analyzers offer a perfect balance between measurement speed, dynamic range, flexibility and precision, making them ideal for present and future measurement tasks. Rohde & Schwarz previously set standards in RF and microwave measurements with its R&S ZVR family of network analyzers, and now continues this success with the R&S ZVA.
The fundamentalmixing concept employed by the analyzer`s receivers ensures high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range. Extremely fast synthesizers make for short measurement times. Its excellent characteristics, new functionality, sophisticated GUI and extremely high flexibility make the R&S ZVA an indispensable tool for demanding measurement tasks in labs and production.
The key functions and features of the R&S ZVA8 vector network analyzer include:
Multiport concept Instruments with 2 and 4 ports up to 8, 24 and 40 GHz
