Features & benefits

Ultrafast measurement speed

Maximum throughput with ultrafast measurement cycles

The combination of a fast DDS-based synthesizer, the best dynamic range in class and efficient backend data handling results in extremely high measurement throughput. The R&S®ZNB3020 can perform a frequency sweep from 1 MHz to 26.5 GHz, 1601 points, 500 kHz IF bandwidth with full two port error correction in a total measurement time of 21.2 ms. It is the instrument of choice for high volume production, where test per second costs low and throughput high are essential.

Best dynamic range in class

Ideal for filter characterization

The measurement speed for filter tests is determined by the synthesizer settling times, the required dynamic range and the corresponding IF bandwidth. The R&S®ZNB3020 offers an innovative enhanced dynamic range mode that allows the use of higher IF bandwidths with same trace noise magnitude values as conventional VNAs, leading to improved measurement throughput.

Fast production scale-up

Flexible frequency upgrade options

Additional frequency ranges and the easy frequency upgrade concept assure rapid scale-up of production and protect your investment for the long run. Regardless of the test requirements, die level, packaged or connectorized, the R&S®ZNB3000 is the preferred instrument of RF component manufacturers world-wide.

Unrivaled RF performance

Designed to meet the toughest challenges

The R&S®ZNB3000 was designed with toughest testing challenges in mind and developed for high-volume production applications. It balances speed, stability and performance. The combination of high output power, +11 dBm at 26.5 GHz, innovative extended dynamic range mode, exceptionally low trace noise (typically 0.0008 dB RMS) and fast sweep times, makes it ideal for throughput, yield and accuracy.

Multiport measurements

Measurements up to 48 ports

Components used in modern communications equipment support a growing number of frequency bands and additional functions. As a result, the number of RF ports on the modules is also growing. The R&S®ZNB3000 in combination with various switch matrices provides a comprehensive solution for complex measurements on modules with up to 48 ports. The matrices from Rohde & Schwarz support full crossbar measurements, allowing all S-parameters of a multiport DUT to be determined.

SCPI recorder

Accelerating test automation

The R&S®ZNB3000 simplifies programming. The integrated SCPI recorder notes each keypress and creates a list of step-by-step commands even for the most complicated measurement setup. The recorded SCPI script can be directly copied into the user code or exported in C, Python and MATLAB.

Versatile options

Fast and accurate characterization of active and passive RF components

The R&S®ZNB3000 is ideal for testing passive, active and frequency-converting components. A variety of hardware and software options are available for these measurements. Hardware options include two independent internal generators, a wide power sweep range and extended dynamic range in two or four port configurations. The software options include compression point vs frequency, noise figure measurements, intermodulation distortion measurements and intuitive measurement configuration. Time domain measurement options with eye diagrams and frequency-converting measurements are also available. A comprehensive list of embedding/deembedding options round off the vector network analyzer functions.

High temperature and long-term stability

The R&S®ZNB3000 test set and receivers feature excellent temperature and long-term stability. Magnitude and phase drift are very low, with typical values of less than 0.01 dB/°C and 0.15°/°C. A calibrated R&S®ZNB3000 allows precise measurements over several days without recalibration.
