Features and Benefits

• Platform for challenging multiport measurements
• When speed counts
• Excellent measurement characteristics

The R&S®ZNBT is the first multiport vector network analyzer offering up to 24 integrated test ports. The instrument can simultaneously test multiple DUTs or measure one DUT with up to 24 ports.

The R&S®ZNBT offers short measurement times even in scenarios with a large number of ports. Other highlights include a wide dynamic range, high output power levels and inputs featuring high power-handling capacity.The instrument is available in two different frequency ­ranges:

• The R&S®ZNBT8 operates in a range from 9  kHz to 8.5 GHz,
• The R&S®ZNBT20, R&S®ZNBT26 and R&S®ZNBT40 from 100 kHz to 20 GHz, 26.5 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively.

These features make the R&S®ZNBT ideal for applications in the mobile radio, wireless communications and electronic goods industries.
