In many cases, field engineers need multiple instruments to complete their tasks: a cable and antenna analyzer, a spectrum analyzer, a signal generator and a bias source. The two-port combi model R&S CableRider ZPH now combines all of these instruments into one powerful box.

Spectrum analysis performance including tracking generator

With its high sensitivity (DANL of typ. < -146 dBm up to 3 GHz), the R&S CableRider ZPH is a powerful and easy-to-use spectrum analyzer for RF diagnostics in the field, e.g. on antenna RF feed signals. The DANL can be further improved to typ. -163 dBm with the optional R&S ZPH-B22 preamplifier. The R&S ZPH features tracking generator functionality, which makes scalar transmission measurements possible, e.g. frequency response measurements on RF filters. Bias tees broaden the functionality even further, e.g. for measuring tower mounted amplifiers (TMA).

The R&S CableRider ZPH can even utilize its unique independent signal source to operate as a continuous wave (CW) signal generator or as an independent tracking source for frequency conversion measurements.
