The R&S ZNBT is the first multiport vector network analyzer offering up to 24 integrated test ports. The instrument can simultaneously test multiple DUTs or measure one DUT with up to 24. The R&S®ZNBT offers short measurement times even in
scenarios with a large number of ports. Other highlights include a wide dynamic range, high output power levels and inputs featuring high power-handling capacity.
The ZNBT outperforms switch matrix based multiport systems. Its high integration density makes it a very compact solution for analyzing components with up to 24 ports while requiring no more rack space than an R&S ZNB. The convenient user interface makes it easy to handle even very complex multiport measurements. The ZNBT supports various remote control options and is easy to integrate into automated test systems, for example for carrying out phased-array antenna measurements.
