Nov. 18, 2010

The R&S ZVH portable cable and antenna analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz allows acceptance tests on antenna stations to be performed quickly in the field. The analyzer is available in frequency ranges of 300 kHz to 3.6 GHz or 300 kHz to 8 GHz and is designed to help network operators, infrastructure manufacturers and their service providers install and maintain mobile radio antennas with a minimum of effort and time. It features a dynamic range of 100 dB and weighs only 3 kg and measures only 194 x 300 x 69 mm. The battery-powered instrument can simultaneously measure antenna matching and transmitter output power to 300 W.
