Features & benefits

Ideal for basic VNA applications

All you need for your measurements in one box

The R&S^®ZNLE does not require an external PC or monitor to configure a measurement setup. You can start measuring immediately after you switch on the instrument. A powerful, fully integrated PC platform runs the Windows 10 operating system to make the R&S^®ZNLE a complete, standalone analyzer. The solid-state hard disk delivers fast boot times and the reliability you need for demanding applications.

**Compact and standalone** - The R&S^®ZNLE is a two-port vector network analyzer that can be used for bidirectional measurements of S11, S21, S12 and S22 parameters on passive components

Performance and value

Low trace noise and high speed at a value price

The R&S^®ZNLE has a low trace noise of typ. 0.001 dB (at 10 kHz measurement bandwidth). This allows highly accurate, stable and repeatable measurements even at wide IF bandwidths. The R&S;^®ZNLE uses large measurement bandwidths to perform quick measurements while delivering excellent trace stability.

**An economical instrument with solid performance** - The R&S^®ZNLE is a high-performance, cost-efficient vector network analyzer that can perform full two-port measurements.

Convenient calibration

Built-in guided user interface wizards

Rohde & Schwarz offers both manual calibration kits (R&S®ZN‑Z1xx) and automatic calibration units (R&S®ZN‑ZE1xx). Automatic calibration for quick and convenient calibration. The kits reduce operator errors and improve calibration repeatability.

**Increase efficiency with calibration units** - The configurable R&S^®ZN‑ZE104, R&S^®ZN‑ZE109, R&S^®ZN‑ZE118 and R&;^®ZN‑ZE126 calibration units provide great performance in a compact, lightweight and economic solution.

3-Desirable essentials

Easy to configure, easy to calibrate, easy to use

The R&S^®ZNLE is designed for simplicity and efficiency. The intuitive touch display and structured user interface make it easy to use for all experience levels. Limiting the options means configuring an instrument has never been easier. Our convenient, built-in wizard tools quickly guide you through every step when setting up the instrument for use and calibration, making it easier and quicker to prepare accurate measurements. This is the perfect solution for those who value straightforward, hassle-free operation.

**Distance-to-fault (DTF) measurements option (R&S®ZNL-K3)** - The distance-to-fault measurements option (R&S^®ZNL-K3) lets you detect cable discontinuities to save time and ease trouble-shooting.
