Detailed Product Description

Vector Network Analyzer 9kHz-3GHz

The R&S ZVL network analyzers are a new addition to the extended familyof R&S Vector Network Analyzers. It addresses the lower price segment witha lightweight and compact design that covers applications in the middle andlow-end. Especially interesting is the combination of ZVL with the spectrumanalysis option as well as the DC/battery option. The spectrum analyzer optionoffers similar specifications and same features as the FSL. ZVL is the firstinstrument in this performance class that is available with network andspectrum analysis functions.
