Products Showcased at MWC 2017
Antenna Analyzer
Fast & Efficient One-Port Cable and Antenna Analyzer

Antenna Analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz

The R&S Cable Rider ZPH from Rohde & Schwarz is a one-port analyzer that operates from from 2 MHz to 3 GHz/4 GHz. The analyzer can make fast and accurate measurements in a single step with a speed of 0.3 milliseconds per data point and eliminates human errors. It also has a super fast boot and warm-up time, allowing it to start taking measurements just over a minute after being turned on. Moreover, there is no requirement for calibration due to temperature and frequency changes, which saves time.
