Embedded LO
Select "Embedded LO" if in the related mixer measurement the LO cannot be provided
by the VNA or a connected external generator. Setting this flag makes the LO drive
power range read-only.
Use Fixed Freq
Uncheck "Use Fixed Freq" if you want the LO signal to vary in frequency, which will
enable "LO Freq Min" and "LO Freq Max". Otherwise only "LO Fixed Freq" is enabled.

Distance to Fault Application
With option K3, the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT can locate faults and discontinuities on cables and
transmission lines. The measured S
ii
-parameter trace is mathematically converted to
the time domain, and represented in the distance domain. The x-axis of the DtF trace
(derived from S
ii
) shows the distance from the calibrated reference plane; faults appear
as peaks above a certain level.
If option R&S
ZNB/ZNBT-K3 is not installed on the R&S
ZNB/ZNBT, the "Distance to
Fault" application is not available.
To achieve the best distance resolution, set the sweep span as large as possible and
use the
to adjust the number of sweep points.
