Versatile solution

The ZVL is a compact, powerful, and future-proof network analyzer, and is therefore ideal for use in devel-opment, production, and service.

It is the only instrument to combine the functions of a network analyzer, spectrum analyzer, and power meter in a single box, and will thus tremen-dously increase your work efficiency.

The ZVL is ideal for lab applications where the measurement tasks vary frequently; it can be used to measure S-parameters as well as the output spectrum, ACP, and TOI without having to reconnect the device under test (DUT). With the ZVL, production lines can now be run even more flexible, as the switchover from network analyzer to spectrum analyzer can easily be effected via remote control. Moreover, an NRP power sensor, which can be directly connected to the ZVL, ensures precise power measurements.

Favorable price and high performance reduce costs

The ZVL combines a wide dynamic range and excellent measurement speed with versatile functionality. The seg-mented sweep, the multitrace display, and the powerful marker and trace eval-uation are only some examples of the functions that speed up measurement sequences and reduce tuning and mea-surement times. The price/performance ratio of the ZVL makes the instru-ment unique among the compact net-work analyzers in its class.

Compact dimensions and low weight save space and facilitate mobile operation

Weighing less than 7 kg and featuring an instrument depth of only 37 cm, the ZVL is by far the most compact instrument in its class. It is easy to carry and does not require much space on your workbench. And as the ZVL can be battery-operated, it is ideal for mobile applications.

Upgradeability and compatibility within the instrument family protect your investment

No matter what the challenge, the ZVL quickly takes it on and thus grows with the demands. You can install hardware options as needed on-site in line with the plug & play concept. The user interface and the remote-control command set of the ZVL are similar to those of the ZVB and ZVA. Thus, these network analyzers are inter-changeable in development and produc-tion – eliminating the need to familiarize yourself with a completely new instru-ment or to invest in new remote-control programs.

All-in-one solution

Wide scope of functions

Offering excellent specifications and a wide range of functions at a favorable price, the ZVL is every develop-ment engineer's ideal network analyzer.
