The Rohde & Schwarz ZV-Z59 is an automatic calibration unit engineered for precise system error correction of vector network analyzers across the 10 MHz to 20 GHz band. This six-port calibration module contains electronically switched internal standards with stored calibration kit data, enabling plug-and-play operation via USB connection to R&S ZVA, ZVT, ZVB, and ZNBT series analyzers. The unit automatically transfers all required calibration parameters to the connected VNA, eliminating manual kit entry and streamlining multiport measurement workflows.
