The R&SZCxxx mmWave converters extend the frequency range of the R&S®ZNA, R&S®ZVA or R&S®ZVT up to 1.1 THz and allow measurements in the frequency range from 50 GHz to 1100 GHz (WR15, WR12, WM-2540, WM-2032, WM-1651, WM-1295, WM-1092, WM-864, WM-710, WM-570, WM-380 and WM-250).
They feature a wide dynamic range and high output power. Plus, they offer high operating convenience and highly stable measurements.

Convenient handling
|
| Frequency Conversion | Frequency-converting measurements in amplitude and phase on down converters and mixers
Setups with two different converter bands, e.g. when measuring harmonics
|
| Dual-Source Intermodulation Measurements | Intermodulation measurements require a 2-tone signal, which can be generated either by two identical ZCxxx converters and a Magic-Tee for combining the tones or by a dual source converter.
A ZCDSxxx dual source converter features two RF inputs and multiplier chains, plus an internal combiner.
At the converter output, the 2-tone signal can be used for intermodulation tests versus frequency or power.
