Descrizione

Configurable signal conditioning for measurements on active components
Key Facts
  • Extension unit for an R&S®ZVA/ZVT network analyzer for measurements on T/R modules, receivers, transceivers and power amplifiers
  • Base unit supports power levels up to +43 dBm
  • Options for pulse modulation, amplification, high-power, noise figure and intermodulation measurements
  • R&S®ZVAX?TRM models up to 24/40/50/67 GHz
  • Flexible configuration for the required application
  • Straightforward dialogs for measurement configuration
  • Automatic detection and control of R&S®ZVAX?TRM via USB interface

Brief Description The configurable R&S®ZVAX?TRM extension unit is used together with an R&S®ZVA / R&S®ZVT (the R&S®ZVAX-TRM24/40/50/67 can be combined with any R&S®ZVA8/24/40/50/67 or R&S®ZVT8/20 network analyzer, the extension unit is supplied as standard with the RF interconnection cables for the corresponding R&S®ZVA24/40/50/67 model) network analyzer to provide signal conditioning for demanding measurements on active DUTs. For example, it allows measurements on pulsed signals or noise figure measurements on transmit/ receive (T/R) modules. Together with an R&S®ZVA network analyzer, the R&S®ZVAX?TRM provides costomized test sets for applications up to 24/40/50/67 GHz (restrictions on some options for the 67 GHz model).
Features & Benefits
  • Configurable test system for characterizing T/R modules
    • R&S®ZVAX-TRM decouples signal conditioning from the network analyzer
    • Fewer options needed for the network analyzer itself, reduced investment costs
    • Basic configuration supports high-power two-port measurements up to +43 dBm
    • Test set can be expanded with options
    • Signal access points in the R&S®ZVAX-TRM for integrating external components and instruments
  • Excellent performance data for measurements on T/R modules
    • Measure a T/R module’s characteristics in both directions
    • E.g. bidirectional pulse measurements
    • High output power levels even with a fully configured R&S®ZVAX-TRM
  • Customized configuration
    • R&S®ZVAX?TRM base unit
    • R&S®ZVAXxxB712/B73 pulse modulators
    • R&S®ZVAXxxB112/B134 output amplifiers
    • R&S®ZVAXxxB213/B224 combiners
    • R&S®ZVAXxxB31/B32 Pre-amplifier, receiver path 1/2
