can also auto-determine length and loss parameters, assuming that the actual values
should minimize the group delay and loss across the sweep range.
3.5 Optional R&S
ZVA Extensions
The network analyzer can be upgraded with a number of hardware and software
options, providing enhanced flexibility and an extended measurement functionality. The
available options are listed in the "Info – Option Info" dialog. The R&S
ZVA options lis-
ted below are described in detail in the reference chapters of the help system. For a
complete list of options, accessories, and extras refer to the product brochure of your
analyzer.

Functionality
RS& ZVAB-K2
Time Domain
Transformation of the trace to time domain in order to analyze
responses, transformation back to the frequency domain.
R&S ZVA-K4
Arbitrary gen. and rec. frequen-
cies, includes scalar Mixer and
Harmonics measurements
Measurements at arbitrary (not necessarily equal) generator
and receiver frequencies; scalar measurements on external RF
mixers, harmonic distortion measurements, intermodulation dis-
tortion measurements.
R&S ZVA-K5
Mixer Phase Measurement (Vector
Mixer Measurement)
Measurement of the parameters of an external mixer including
phase, e.g. the complex conversion loss or reflection coeffi-
cients.
R&S ZVA-K6
True Differential Mode
Generation of true differential and common mode stimuli at arbi-
trary reference planes in the test setup and measurement of the
mixed-mode S-parameters, wave quantities and ratios. Alterna-
tively: Defined coherence mode, provides several source sig-
nals with defined phase and amplitude relation.
R&S ZVA-K7
Measurements on Pulsed Signals
Pulsed measurements in analogy to a time sweep (i.e. at con-
stant receiver frequency), but with a much higher sampling rate
of 12.5/ns.
R&S ZVA-K8
Converter Control
Measurements at frequencies beyond the analyzer's operating
range.
R&S ZVA-K9
Mixer Delay w/o LO Access
Measurement of the absolute or relative group delay of a mixer.
R&S ZVA-K10
Long Distance Mixer Delay
Mixer delay measurement with two different network analyzers,
one providing the source ports, the other the receive port.
R&S ZVA-K17
5 MHz Receiver Bandwidth
Provides up to 5 MHz IF bandwidth, thus providing shorter mea-
surement times for frequency, time, or CW sweeps; enhanced
performance for point-in-pulse measurements.
R&S ZVA-K27
Internal Pulse Generators
Provides two pulsed control signals to control pulsed measure-
ments.
R&S ZVAB-K30
Noise Figure Measurement
Provides the noise figure of a DUT which operates in its linear
range.
R&S ZVA-K31
Freq. Conv. Noise Figure
Provides the noise figure of a frequency-converting DUT which
operates in its linear range.
