Rohde & Schwarz ZNL/ZNLE Series Vector Nnetwork Analyzers up to 18/20 GHz
The Rohde & Schwarz ZNL series devices are portable vector network and spectrum analyzers that are ideal for development, production, and field use. The functionality combines three devices in one for top performance in the field and in the lab: vector network analyzer (VNA), spectrum analyzer (SA) and power meter. Thanks to the wide range of options, the devices can be equipped exactly according to your needs and budget. The base models support frequencies from 5 kHz to 3, 4.5, 6, 14, or 20 GHz and can be expanded with a full-featured, integrated spectrum analyzer and support for RF power meters. In addition, a continuous wave signal generator option is available for spectrum analysis.
The models in the ZNLE series are cost-effective variants with outstanding performance for training, development, and production. These VNAs support frequency ranges from 1 MHz (optional 100 kHz) to 3, 4.5, 6, 14, or 18 GHz. Thanks to their familiar high-quality design, innovative user interface, and compact dimensions, the devices in the ZNLE series are the ideal choice for basic VNA applications.
