A handy analyzer for installation and maintenance in the field; easy operation and simple documentation

The R&S®ZVH is a rugged, handy cable and antenna analyzer, designed for use in the field. The low weight and simple operation make it indispensable for anyone who needs to make efficient measurements outdoors when installing and maintaining antenna systems.

Features & benefits

Fast and accurate

Fast and accurate measurements
 

The wizard function lets users preconfigure test setups before going in the field. Pictures and test instructions can be inserted to aid on-site technicians, speeding up on-site measurements and reducing measurement errors from incorrect parameters or setups. The wizard simplifies complex test sequences and eliminates configuration queries before each test setup.
