ZVA-Zxxx Millimeterwave converters, Network analysis up to 110 GHz.
The ZVA-Zxx millimeter-wave converters can make millimeterwave measurements in the E and W band from 60 to 90GHz and 75 to 110GHz. Rohde & Schwarz converters have a wide dynamic range and are very convenient to operate and enable fast measurements.
When combined with the ZVA, two-port measurements can be performed with a four-port network analyzer and two converters with no need for an external generator. A two-port network analyzer requires an external generator for LO signals. The ZNA can have up to four converters connected with no external signal generator.

| BENEFITS |
|
| Frequency Range | 60 GHz to 90 GHz (ZVA-Z90)
75 GHz to 110 GHz (ZVA-Z110/R : ZVA-Z110E)
Using a ZVA24/40/50/67 or a ZNA26/43/50/67 Network Analyzer
|
| Wide Dynamic Range | ZVA-Z90: > 100dB, typ. 115 dB
ZVA-Z110: > 100dB, typ. 110 dB
ZVA-Z110E: > 95dB, typ. 110 dB
|
| Variable and Electronic Output Power | Typ. +10 dBm (ZVA-Z90)
Typ. +10 dBm (ZVA-Z110)
Typ. up to +2 dBm (ZVA-Z110E)
A control screw can reduce power by 40 dB (ZVA-Z110).
The output power can be electronically reduced by 25 dB with the ZVA110E.
The ZVA-Z110 can reduce it by 70 dB with RF input power variation.
|
| Automatic Parameter Setting | The ZVA and ZNA firmware runs the converters with the ZVA-K8/ZNA-K8 converter control option.
The network analyzer will automatically set the correct parameters based on the selected converter type.
The network analyzer also protects converters by limiting output power to the converter coaxial inputs.
Appropriate calibration is available for each converter band.
|
| Convenient Handling | The converter waveguide connectors are arranged on a bar extending from the converter for convenient usage
The screwed flange joints are easily accessible for calibration and connecting the DUT.
The converters can have three or four height-adjustable feet.
Three feet make it much easier to align the test-port flange.
The converters have no fans - a big advantage in particle-sensitive environments.
|
| Multiport and True Differential Measurements | Multiport devices such as couplers can be analyzed with three or four converters.
The setup can use an ZVA24, ZVA40, ZVA50 or ZVA67 plus an external generator and one converter per test port.
The ZNA26, ZNA43, ZNA50 or ZNA67 enable up to four converters, which can be connected without needing an external signal generator.
The ZVA-Z90/ZVA-Z110 and the ZVA-Z110E are ideal for generating true differential signals )true differential mode).
|
| Pulsed Measurements | The converters can also be operated in pulsed mode - to characterize pulsed amplifiers.
This applies to both measurements versus frequency (average pulse and point-in-pulse) and pulse profile measurements.
