Vector Network and Spectrum Analysis
When choosing an RF analyzer, select an architecture optimized for either network stimulus-response or passive signal tracking. The Rohde & Schwarz ZVL6 is a portable, bidirectional 2-port vector network analyzer covering 9 kHz to 6 GHz. Weighing under 7 kg without a battery, it provides full S-parameter evaluation (S11, S21, S12, S22) and trace handling. It can also serve as a spectrum analyzer when equipped with Option ZVL-K1.
For high-performance spectrum and vector signal analysis, the FSE series provides deep resolution and low noise floors. The Rohde & Schwarz FSEK30 spans 20 Hz to 40 GHz, offering an SSB phase noise of less than -113 dBc (1 Hz) at a 10 kHz offset and a typical displayed average noise level (DANL) of -150 dBm in a 10-Hz bandwidth. If mid-range RF testing is required, the legacy Rohde & Schwarz FSEB20 provides spectrum analysis from 9 kHz to 7 GHz, featuring an adjustable resolution bandwidth from 10 Hz to 10 MHz and up to 70 dB of attenuation.
Specialized Audio and Television Testing
For applications outside standard RF and microwave analysis, Rohde & Schwarz offers dedicated domain-specific hardware:
- Audio Testing: The Rohde & Schwarz UPV is a high-precision, 2-channel audio analyzer operating between 0.1 Hz and 80 kHz. Designed for testing analog and digital audio interfaces, it features XLR balanced and BNC unbalanced connections. The instrument has a typical total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of -115 dB and a frequency flatness of +/-0.02 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
- Broadcast TV Analysis: The Rohde & Schwarz ETL functions as an all-in-one TV receiver, audio/video analyzer, and spectrum analyzer. It operates from 500 kHz to 3 GHz, and is expandable to 8 GHz using Option ETL-B203. It achieves a typical DANL of -140 dBm with its preamplifier disabled.
