R&S ZND Vector Network Analyzers

R&S ZND – Basic, Solid-Performance Network Analysis

The Rohde & Schwarz ZND is a basic network analyzer that provides unidirectional measurements up to 4.5 GHz. Options are available to perform bidirectional measurements and to extend the frequency range to 8.5 GHz.

The R&S ZND supplements the R&S ZNB family of network analyzers. The unidirectional R&S ZND base model
can be used to measure the S‑parameters S11 and S21. It can be easily upgraded to provide bidirectional measurements and to extend the frequency range up to 8.5 GHz. Users can tailor the instrument to their specific needs in RF component production and development.

Easy-to-operate makes the R&S ZND ideal for training purposes. It’s large touchscreen makes it possible to display multiple results simultaneously.

The R&S ZND has the same remote control command set as the analyzers from the R&S ZNB family. Users can
switch between instruments without having to modify control programs.
