R&S®Cable Rider
ZPH Cable and
Antenna Analyzer
At a glance
The R&S®Cable Rider ZPH has all the essential basic
measurement capabilities required for installing and
maintaining antenna systems in the field. Its unique
features ensure fast and efficient cable and antenna
measurements and spectrum analysis. The easy-
to-use analyzer features a touchscreen and large
keypad designed for field use.
With its short boot and warm-up times and fast measure-
ment speed, the R&S®Cable Rider ZPH gets down to ana-
lyzing extremely fast. Measurement setups can be pre-
drawn and settings preconfigured. Thanks to the wizard
function, fast and accurate measurements are performed
in a single step. Generating measurement reports is easy
with the R&S®InstrumentView software.
There is no need to calibrate the analyzer before use. It is
reliably and accurately calibrated before leaving the facto-
ry. Should calibration be needed to eliminate the effects of
additional cables or adapters used to connect the analyzer
to the device under test (DUT), the R&S®ZN-Z103 automat-
ic calibration unit performs the calibration in just one step.
The battery lasts up to an entire work day on just one
charge. The keypad is illuminated to facilitate working in
dim environments. The leading-edge capacitive touch-
screen of the R&S®Cable Rider ZPH is changing the way
users interact with an analyzer – simply touch the screen
to add markers and change settings. These features and
the ergonomic design make the R&S®Cable Rider ZPH ide-
al for fast and efficient on-site measurements.
Two different R&S®ZPH models are available to suit differ-
ent needs, a pure one-port cable and antenna analyzer and
a two-port model with additional spectrum analysis and
tracking generator features.
