Fast Change settings quickly and easily Thanks to its hybrid design, the analyzer can be operated as usual via the keys and rotary knob or alternatively via the touchscreen. The keys are large and widely spaced. This makes the analyzer ideal for operation with gloves and also minimizes the big finger problem.
Fast measurements – no calibration required Fast deployment with the wizard function Understanding the need to perform measurements quickly, the R&S®Cable Rider ZPH is factory-precalibrated over the supported frequency and temperature ranges. The factory calibration removes the drift error, which can be a hassle when you have to keep calibrating because the measured frequency and operating temperature change. No calibration reminder will pop up on the screen and interrupt measurements.
Efficient One-step calibration Single charge lasts the entire work day With a single full charge, the R&S®Cable Rider ZPH will keep going an entire work day. Simply charge it for approximately 4 hours and the lithium-ion battery pack lasts up to 9 hours. The advantages of having a long-lasting battery are obvious – no need to bring an extra battery with additional weight when climbing up a mast or tower, no frustration due to the battery power ending in the middle of the measurement.

Optional measurement modes Channel power meter The R&S®ZPH-K19 channel power meter option converts the analyzer into a portable power meter with a level measurement accuracy of typically 0.5 dB. This option makes it possible to achieve power measurement results quickly and easily without needing a power sensor or the spectrum analyzer mode. This can help in applications such as checking power levels along the signal path of a field transmitter or verifying the power level of a design in the lab.
Model-specific measurement modes (two-port combi model) 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®Cable Rider ZPH now combines all of these instruments into one powerful box. Spectrum analysis performance including tracking generator With its high sensitivity (DANL of typ.
Modulation analysis Interference analysis and signal strength mapping The R&S®ZPH-K7 option converts the R&S®Cable Rider ZPH into a modulation analyzer to measure the quality of amplitude or frequency modulated signals. The analog modulation display shows the waveform as well as measurement parameters such as carrier power, carrier offset, modulation index (depth) for AM signals, frequency deviation for FM signals, SINAD and THD.
