The ¸ZVL is a compact, powerful, and future-proof network analyzer, and is therefore ideal for use in devel-opment, production, and service.

It is the only instrument to combine the functions of a network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and power meter in a single box, and will thus tremen-dously increase your work effi ciency.

The ¸ZVL is ideal for lab applications where the measurement tasks vary frequently; it can be used to measure S-parameters as well as the output spectrum, ACP, and TOI without having to reconnect the device under test (DUT). With the ¸ZVL, production lines can now be run even more flexibly, as the switchover from network analyzer to spectrum analyzer can easily be effected via remote control. Moreover, an ¸NRP-Z power sensor, which can be directly connected to the ¸ZVL, ensures precise power measurements.

Favorable price and high performance reduce costsThe ¸ZVL combines a wide dynamic range and excellent measurement speed with versatile functionality. The seg-mented sweep, the multitrace display, and the powerful marker and trace eval-uation are only some examples of the functions that speed up measurement sequences and reduce tuning and mea-surement times. The price/performance ratio of the ¸ZVL makes the instru-ment unique among the compact net-work analyzers in its class.

Compact dimensions and low weight save space and facilitate mobile operationWeighing less than 7 kg and featuring an instrument depth of only 37 cm, the ¸ZVL is by far the most compact instrument in its class. It is easy to carry and does not require much space on your workbench. And as the ¸ZVL can be battery-operated, it is ideal for mobile applications.

Upgradeability and compatibility within the instrument family protect your investmentNo matter what the challenge, the ¸ZVL quickly takes it on and thus grows with the demands. You can install hardware options as needed on-site in line with the plug & play concept. You can easily replace a damaged connec-tor of the ¸ZVL3-75 (75 W version of the ¸ZVL3) on-site without down-time and need for recalibration. The user interface and the remote-control com-mand set of the ¸ZVL are similar to those of the ¸ZVB and ¸ZVA. Thus, these network analyzers are inter-changeable in development and produc-tion – eliminating the need to familiarize yourself with a completely new instru-ment or to invest in new remote-control programs.

TV and CATV applicationsThe ¸ZVL3-75, the 75 W version of the ¸ZVL3, is the ideal tool for TV and CATV measurement applications. It has 75 W connectors with exchangeable inner conductor.

Multitrace display

Dynamic range at 10 Hz IF bandwidth


Dynamic range and speed for complex DUTs Large measurement bandwidths up to 500 kHz and fast synthesizers make for short measurement times and thus high throughput in manual tuning and automated production sequences. Due to the analyzer's wide dynamic range at large measurement bandwidths, this advantage in speed does not affect mea-surement accuracy. The ¸ZVL is thus the ideal tool for measuring and tuning selective DUTs such as duplex filters for base stations.

Sweep modes adapted to the task reduce measurement timeUsing different sweep modes, the ¸ZVL achieves optimal measure-ment times for a wide range of DUTs:

For narrowband DUTs such as ◆bandpass filters, the linear sweep with equidistant measurement points is the most suitable solution. Depending on the DUT, the number of measurement points can be selected between 2 and 4001The ¸ZVL measures broadband ◆DUTs such as cables or lowpass filters within a minimum of time by using the logarithmic sweep. In this case, the step size is proportional to the current measurement frequencyThe segmented sweep is ideal for ◆filter tuning. It allows the test point spacing, measurement bandwidth, and source power to be specifically set for different frequency segments. By selecting the appropriate setting in the passband and the stopband, minimum sweep times, and maximum dynamic range and accuracy can be achieved

Multitrace display for faster DUT characterizationSeveral traces can be combined in diagrams as required and assigned to different measurement channels1). Thus, the ¸ZVL characterizes DUTs using a

1) A measurement channel refers to an independent set of test parameters including, for example, sweep mode, test point spacing, power, measurement bandwidth, and calibration.

variety of stimulus conditions, and simul-taneously displays all relevant param-eters on the screen. The names of the traces and channels can be edited and replaced by user- specific names to make them easy to identify. The number of traces is limited only by the instrument's RAM capacity; more than 100 traces are available for remote-control applications, for example.

High throughput in production

User-friendly and error-tolerant even for complex measurement tasksThe ¸ZVL features the tried-and-tested operating concept of the ¸ZVA and ¸ZVB high-end network analyzers.

Control by mouse or hardkeys/ ◆softkeys (whichever you prefer)Dialogs and wizards for complex ◆functions quickly guide you step by step to the required measurementUndo/Redo function for canceling up ◆to six operating steps – including a preset, for reversing operating errors, and for fast switching between two modes

Context-sensitive help including ◆ detailed description of the active function and display of the associated remote-control commands supports also untrained users and simplifies programming

Trace evaluation and marker functions facilitate manual filter tuningA wide range of trace evaluation and marker functions support the tuning of complex DUTs, such as duplex filters for base stations.

Up to 10 markers per trace in ◆ different output formats such as magnitude and phase, impedance, admittance, or VSWRMarker output formats can be select- ◆ed independent of the trace formatUser-specific names for markers and ◆tracesTrace evaluation functions for user- ◆definable frequency ranges such as max, min, RMS, peak to peak, band-width, quality, etc (see figure below)Marker and pass/fail information ◆windows that can be shifted and adjusted in sizeOutput of the marker information at ◆the marker position, in the marker info field in the diagram, or as a table

Easy export and import of measure-ment results for quick documentation or comparison with a golden deviceTo make documentation easy, the ¸ZVL provides different graphical and data formats for exporting measure-ment results. Moreover, data compiled with external tools can be loaded. For this purpose, the ¸ZVL provides different formats and interfaces:

Storage of measurement results in- ◆ternally to the hard disk or externally to a USB memory stickExport of hard copies in *.BMP, ◆*.WMF, or *.EMF formatExport of memory and measurement ◆traces, e.g. as Touchstone or ASCII files for further processing in spread-sheet analysis programs, MATLAB®, or simulation programsImport of Touchstone files as ◆ memory trace to compare the current measurements with simulationsImport of ASCII or Touchstone files as ◆limit lines

Easy and intuitive operation

Specifications apply under the following conditions: 30 minutes warm-up time at ambient temperature, specified environmental

conditions met, calibration cycle adhered to, and all internal automatic adjustments performed. Unless stated otherwise, specifications

apply to the two test ports and a nominal source power of –10 dBm.

Rohde & Schwarz equipment is designed for reliable operation up to an altitude of 3000 m above sea level, and for transport up to an

altitude of 4500 m abov}e sea level.




Definitions General

Product data applies under the following conditions:

Three hours storage at ambient temperature followed by 30 minutes warm-up operation

Specified environmental conditions met

Recommended calibration interval adhered to

All internal automatic adjustments performed, if applicable

Specifications with limits

Represent warranted product performance by means of a range of values for the specified parameter. These specifications are

marked with limiting symbols such as , ≥, ±, or descriptions such as maximum, limit of, minimum. Compliance is ensured by

testing or is derived from the design. Test limits are narrowed by guard bands to take into account measurement uncertainties, drift

and aging, if applicable.

Specifications without limits

Represent warranted product performance for the specified parameter. These specifications are not specially marked and represent

values with no or negligible deviations from the given value (e.g. dimensions or resolution of a setting parameter). Compliance is

ensured by design.

Typical data (typ.)

Characterizes product performance by means of representative information for the given parameter. When marked with or as a

range, it represents the performance met by approximately 80 % of the instruments at production time. Otherwise, it represents the

mean value.

Nominal values (nom.)

Characterize product performance by means of a representative value for the given parameter (e.g. nominal impedance). In contrast to

typical data, a statistical evaluation does not take place and the parameter is not tested during production.

Measured values (meas.)

Characterize expected product performance by means of measurement results gained from individual samples.

Uncertainties

Represent limits of measurement uncertainty for a given measurand. Uncertainty is defined with a coverage factor of 2 and has been

calculated in line with the rules of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), taking into account

environmental conditions, aging, wear and tear.

Device settings and GUI parameters are indicated as follows: “parameter: value”.

Typical data as well as nominal and measured values are not warranted by Rohde & Schwarz.

The dynamic range is measured as the difference between the –10 dBm source power and the rms value of the data trace of the

transmission magnitude. This magnitude is produced by noise and crosstalk with the test ports short-circuited and the step

attenuators set to 0 dB. This specification applies without system error correction and at 10 Hz measurement bandwidth (filter type:

normal) in the temperature range from +18 °C to +28 °C. The dynamic range is also affected by receiver inherent spurious at

particular frequencies.
