Engineers can utilize the entry level analyzer product for evaluating the performance of RF systems and components in manufacturing facilities and development laboratories, or validating antenna installations.
Livingston said R&SZND is capable of delivering accurate measurements on the magnitude or phase of network scattering parameters – known as S‑parameters. Supporting a typical dynamic range of 120dB, it presents users with a maximum bandwidth of 300kHz. The latest analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz can deliver a power sweep spanning up to 48dB.
The standard unit can address unidirectional (S11 and S21) S-parameters across a frequency range from 100kHz to 4.5GHz. Upgraded units are able to perform bidirectional measurements (covering S11, S12, S21 and S22) up to frequencies reaching 8.5GHz.
Engineers can control R&SZND units via LAN or GPIB interfaces and measurements can be configured and test results viewed remotely. They can save results onto a USB memory stick for offline analysis, said Livingston, a UK-based company that supplies test equipment on rental basis.
