Brief Description The configurable R&S®ZVAX?TRM extension unit is used together with an R&S®ZVA / R&S®ZVT (the R&S®ZVAX-TRM24/40/50/67 can be combined with any R&S®ZVA8/24/40/50/67 or R&S®ZVT8/20 network analyzer, the extension unit is supplied as standard with the RF interconnection cables for the corresponding R&S®ZVA24/40/50/67 model) network analyzer to provide signal conditioning for demanding measurements on active DUTs. For example, it allows measurements on pulsed signals or noise figure measurements on transmit/ receive (T/R) modules. Together with an R&S®ZVA network analyzer, the R&S®ZVAX?TRM provides costomized test sets for applications up to 24/40/50/67 GHz (restrictions on some options for the 67 GHz model).
Features & Benefits

• Configurable test system for characterizing T/R modules
  • R&S®ZVAX-TRM decouples signal conditioning from the network analyzer
  • Fewer options needed for the network analyzer itself, reduced investment costs

  • Test set can be expanded with options
  • Signal access points in the R&S®ZVAX-TRM for integrating external components and instruments
• Excellent performance data for measurements on T/R modules
  • Measure a T/R module’s characteristics in both directions
  • E.g. bidirectional pulse measurements
  • High output power levels even with a fully configured R&S®ZVAX-TRM
