The Rohde & Schwarz ZVL13 is a compact vector network analyzer that combines network analysis, spectrum analysis, and power measurement capabilities in a single instrument. Designed for development, production, and service environments, it eliminates the need to reconfigure devices under test when switching between S-parameter and spectrum analysis modes. The ZVL13 supports flexible measurement workflows in laboratory and production settings, with remote-control switching between operating modes and direct integration of R&S®NRP-Z power sensors via USB.
