Enlarging a Diagram
The analyzer provides different tools for customizing the contents and size of the dia-
grams:
●
Select from the toolbar to maximize the active diagram. Or, equivalently, select
System – [Display] > "Diagram" > "Maximize Diagram".
If enabled the active diagram is always maximized.
●
The "Menu Bar", the "Status Bar", the "Hard Key Panel", and the "Title Bar" can be
hidden to gain space for the diagrams (System – [Display] > "View Bar").
●
The System – [Display] > "Config" softtool tab defines optional display elements for
the interior of the diagrams.
Use the context menu of the diagram, the System – [Display] key or the "Display"
menu to access the display settings.

Performing Measurements
This chapter takes you through a sample session with a R&S
ZNA network analyzer
and describes basic operation tasks.
Safety considerations
Before starting any measurement on your network analyzer, please note the instruc-
tions given in
Chapter 4.1, "Putting the Analyzer into Operation"
4.4.1
Transmission S-Parameter Measurement
In a transmission measurement, the analyzer transmits a stimulus signal to the input
port of the device under test (DUT) and measures the transmitted wave at the DUT's
output port. The trace settings allow you to select the measured quantities and display
formats, depending on what you want to learn from the data. A minimum of two ana-
lyzer test ports are required for transmission measurements.
In the following example, the analyzer is set up for a two-port transmission measure-
ment. A frequency sweep range is selected, the instrument is calibrated and the mea-
surement result is analyzed using various display formats.
