AT A GLANCE
RF measuring equipment has to meet high quality standards. It should be easy to use and highly versatile
for fast measurements and reliable performance. The R&S®ZNL meets all of these challenges and all models
can now combine a vector network analyzer, a spectrum analyzer and a power meter in a single, compact
box.
