To retrofit the internal combiner, the R&S
ZNA must be sent to Rohde & Schwarz
service.

Hardware option R&S
ZNAxx-B302 provides an internal low noise pre-amplifier (LNA)
at receive port 2 of a R&S
ZNAxx.
The LNA can apply a power gain of 20
dB, 25
dB, or 30
dB. and is installed in parallel
to the

●
The R&S
ZNA must be equipped with a receiver step attenuator at port 2 (option
R&S
ZNAxx-B32)
●
Currently, internal LNAs are
not
available for R&S
ZNA50 and R&S
ZNA67
The internal LNA reduces the noise figure of the receiver at port 2 of the R&S
ZNA,
