Maximum throughput with ultrafast measurement cycles
It offers a combination of a fast DDS-based synthesizer, the best dynamic range in its class and efficient backend data handling results with extremely high measurement throughput. The R&S®ZNB3020 can perform a frequency sweep from 1 MHz to 26.5 GHz, 1601 points, 500 kHz IF bandwidth with full two port error correction in a total measurement time of 21.2 ms. It is the instrument of choice for high volume production, where low test per second costs and high throughput are essential.

Ideal for filter characterization
The measurement speed for filter tests is determined by the synthesizer settling times, the required dynamic range and the corresponding IF bandwidth. The R&S®ZNB3020 offers an innovative enhanced dynamic range mode that allows the use of higher IF bandwidths with the same trace noise magnitude values as conventional VNAs, leading to improved measurement throughput.

Flexible frequency upgrade options
Additional frequency ranges and the easy frequency upgrade concept assure rapid scale-up of production and protect your investment for the long run. Regardless of test requirements, die level, packaged or connectorized, the R&S®ZNB3000 is the preferred instrument of RF component manufacturers world-wide.
Designed to meet the toughest challenges
The R&S®ZNB3000 was designed with the toughest testing challenges in mind and developed for high-volume production applications. It balances speed, stability and performance. The combination of high output power, +11 dBm at 26.5 GHz, innovative extended dynamic range mode, exceptionally low trace noise (typically 0.0008 dB RMS) and fast sweep times makes it ideal for throughput, yield and accuracy.

Measures up to 48 ports
Components used in modern communications equipment support a growing number of frequency bands and additional functions. As a result, the number of RF ports on the modules is also growing. The R&S®ZNB3000 in combination with various switch matrices provides a comprehensive solution for complex measurements on modules with up to 48 ports. The matrices from Rohde & Schwarz support full crossbar measurements, allowing all S-parameters of a multiport DUT to be determined.

Accelerating test automation
The R&S®ZNB3000 simplifies programming. The integrated SCPI recorder notes each keypress and creates a list of step-by-step commands even for the most complicated measurement setup. The recorded SCPI script can be directly copied into the user code or exported in C, Python and MATLAB.
SCPI recorder example
Fast and accurate characterization of active and passive RF components
The R&S®ZNB3000 is ideal for testing passive, active and frequency-converting components. A variety of hardware and software options are available for these measurements. Hardware options include two independent internal generators, a wide power sweep range and extended dynamic range in two or four port configurations. The software options include compression point vs frequency, noise figure measurements, intermodulation distortion measurements and intuitive measurement configuration. Time domain measurement options with eye diagrams and frequency-converting measurements are also available. A comprehensive list of embedding/deembedding options round off the vector network analyzer functions.
Delta-L calibration
The R&S®ZNB3000 test set and receivers feature excellent temperature and long-term stability. Magnitude and phase drift are very low, with typical values of less than 0.01 dB/°C and 0.15°/°C. A calibrated R&S®ZNB3000 allows precise measurements over several days without recalibration.
