Network analyzer software
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 2/1/2007
Rohde & Schwarz has expanded its high-end R&S ZVA network analyzer with the addition of the R&S ZVA-K7 software option for pulse-profile measurements on semiconductors and antenna systems. The software option can derive and display absolute levels or S-parameters in real time on pulses down to 50 ns with a measurement resolution of 12.5 ns.
The ZVA-K7 software option operates with periodic or single pulses. You can generate pulsed RF signals by modulating the analyzer’s internal generator with an external pulse generator or by using a completely separate signal source such as an R&S SMR. You can set measurement bandwidth to 30-MHz maximum, which allows rise times of 33 ns. Pre- and post-trigger settings enable you to position the measurement window relative to the pulse signal and selectively measure pulse intervals.
