Description

Rohde & Schwarz ZVH8 Handheld Cable and Antenna Analyzer

Rohde & Schwarz ZVH8 is a robust, handy cable and antenna analyzer designed for field use. Its low weight, ergonomic design with a practical handle and simple operation make it indispensable for anyone who needs a powerful measuring device for the installation and maintenance of antenna systems in the field.

The preinstalled wizard function of the cable and antenna analyzer enables you to carry out quick and consistent measurements with preconfigured measuring procedures before the field is used. On-site measurements are accelerated and measurement errors are reduced.

The R&S Analyzer ZVH can be controlled remotely using the free R&S InstrumentView app. Configure measurement settings in advance or carry out post analyzes quickly and easily on the PC. Alternatively, you can use your smartphone or tablet with the free MobileView app for remote control.

Additional options allow you to adapt the Rohde & Schwarz ZVH to your individual requirements. For example, expand with the ZVH-K42 option so that a two-port vector network analysis can be carried out. Or do you need a spectrum analysis function? The ZVH-K1 option is the right choice for you.

Specifications with limits

Represent warranted product performance by means of a range of values for the specified parameter. These specifications are marked with limiting symbols such as <, ≤, >, ≥, ±, or descriptions such as maximum, limit of, minimum. Compliance is ensured by testing or is derived from the design. Test limits are narrowed by guard bands to take into account measurement uncertainties, drift and aging, if applicable.

Specifications without limits

Represent warranted product performance for the specified parameter. These specifications are not specially marked and represent values with no or negligible deviations from the given value (e.g. dimensions or resolution of a setting parameter). Compliance is ensured by design.

Typical data (typ.)
Characterizes product performance by means of representative information for the given parameter. When marked with <, > or as a range, it represents the performance met by approximately 80 % of the instruments at production time. Otherwise, it represents the mean value.

Nominal values (nom.)
Characterize product performance by means of a representative value for the given parameter (e.g. nominal impedance). In contrast to typical data, a statistical evaluation does not take place and the parameter is not tested during production.

Measured values (meas.)
Characterize expected product performance by means of measurement results gained from individual samples.

Uncertainties
Represent limits of measurement uncertainty for a given measurand. Uncertainty is defined with a coverage factor of 2 and has been calculated in line with the rules of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), taking into account environmental conditions, aging, wear and tear.
