R&S®ZVL Vector Network Analyzer Version 02.00, March 2007
Specifications apply under the following conditions: 30 minutes warm-up time at ambient temperature, specified environmental
conditions met, calibration cycle adhered to, and all internal automatic adjustments performed. Unless otherwise stated, specifications
apply to the two test ports and a nominal source power of –10 dBm. Data designated "nominal" applies to design parameters and is
not tested. Data without tolerances: typical values only.
Rohde & Schwarz equipment is designed for reliable operation up to an altitude of 3000 m above sea level, and for transport up to an
altitude of 4500 m above sea level.

Dynamic range
The dynamic range is defined as the difference between the actual available maximum source power and the rms value of the data
trace of the transmission magnitude produced by noise and crosstalk with test ports short-circuited. This specification is valid without
system error correction and at 10 Hz measurement bandwidth (filter type normal) in the temperature range from 18 °C to 28 °C.

Measurement accuracy
This data is valid between 18 °C and 28 °C, provided the temperature has not varied by more than 1 K after calibration. Validity of the
data is conditional on the use of a suitable calibration kit by which the effective system data specified below is achieved. Frequency
points, measurement bandwidth, and sweep time have to be identical for measurement and calibration (no interpolation allowed).

for 0 dB to –50 dB <0.2 dB or <2° 3 GHz to 6 GHz (R&S®ZVL6 only)
for –50 dB to –70 dB <0.3 dB or <3°
Specifications are based on a matched DUT, a measurement bandwidth of 10 Hz (filter type normal), a step attenuation of 10 dB
(default value), and a nominal source power of 0 dBm.
Accuracy of reflection measurements

Effective system data
This data is valid between 18 °C and 28 °C, provided the temperature has not varied by more than 1 K after calibration. The data is
based on a measurement bandwidth of 10 Hz (filter type normal) and system error calibration by means of a suitable calibration kit.
