Features & benefits

True multiport VNA

Platform for challenging multiport measurements

The R&S®ZNBT features one reflectometer per test port. The design eliminates the loss typically encountered in switch matrix based multiport systems. As a result, the R&S®ZNBT delivers a wide dynamic range, high output power, low trace noise, and excellent raw directivity and load match.

When speed counts

Short test times and various control interfaces

The instrument’s multiport architecture enables simultaneous measurements on all DUT ports. Data from all ports is captured synchronously and processed in parallel, significantly reducing sweep time compared to switch matrix based multiport systems. Digital interfaces help boost the speed of automatic test cycles to synchronize external components in a test setup. The handler I/O interface can be used to control an external parts handler.

Versatile options and firmware features

Complex analysis of active and passive components

Enhanced performance modules with ever smaller dimensions require complex testing. The R&S®ZNBT has a wide variety options and features:

  • More than 100 traces and channels for characterizing complex components
  • Wide range of embedding/deembedding options
  • Frequency-converting measurements on amplifiers and mixers
  • Time domain analysis with gating function and display of eye diagrams
