Optional Extensions and Accessories
The instrument can be upgraded with various hardware and software options, provid-
ing enhanced flexibility and an extended measurement functionality. The equipped
options are listed in the "System Configuration" dialog ([Setup] > "System Config").
For a complete list of options, accessories, and extras refer to the product brochure or
to the "Options" section of the R&S
ZNL/ZNLE product pages on the Internet.
The following sections provide an introduction to the software and hardware options
described in this documentation.
●
For the R&S
ZNL, some hardware and software options depend on the
, i.e. these options are only available if the R&S
ZNL is equipped
with the Spectrum Analysis hardware option B1. For a description of these options,
refer to the Spectrum Mode user manual.
For the the R&S
ZNL a Spectrum Analysis option is not available.
●
The additional hardware options are a subset of the hardware options of the identi-
cally constructed spectrum analyzer R&S
FPL100x. For this reason, they are pre-
fixed by R&S
FPL1 (instead of R&S
ZNL/ZNLE).
●
For the R&S
ZNLE, there are only a few software and hardware options available.

Time Domain Analysis
Option R&S
ZNL-K2
The network analyzer measures and displays complex S-parameters and other quanti-
ties as a function of the frequency. The measurement results can be filtered and math-
ematically transformed to obtain the time domain representation, which often gives a
clearer insight into the characteristics of the DUT.
Time domain transforms can be calculated in band pass or low pass mode. For the lat-
ter, the analyzer offers the impulse and step response as two alternative transformation
types. A wide selection of windows can be used to optimize the time domain response
and suppress side lobes due to the finite sweep range. Moreover, it is possible to elimi-
nate unwanted responses using a time gate and transform the gated result back into
the frequency domain.
For a detailed discussion of the time domain transformation including many examples,
refer to the application note 1EZ44 which is available on the R&S internet at
