After a system preset the display shows a diagram with a dB magnitude scale, and the

transmission coefficient of the DUT. It is defined as the ratio of the transmitted wave at
the DUT's output port (port no. 2) to the incident wave at the DUT's input port (port no.
1).
The R&S ZNB/ZNBT automatically adjusts its internal source and receiver to the
selected measured quantities: For an S

at port 2. The stimulus signal from the analyzer port no. 2 is not needed except for
some calibration types.
By default the sweep range is set to the frequency range of the analyzer, which can be
unsuitable for your DUT. The following procedure shows you how to configure a
smaller sweep range.
1. Select Stimulus – [Start] and set the "Start Frequency" to the lowest frequency you
want to measure (e.g. 1.77 GHz). For convenient numeric entry, open the "Numeric
Editor" (see

2. In the "Stop Frequency" input field, enter the highest frequency you want to mea-
sure (e.g. 2.5 GHz).
3. Select Trace – [Scale] > "Scale Values" and activate the "Auto Scale Trace" func-
tion. The analyzer adjusts the scale of the diagram to fit in the entire S
leaving an appropriate display margin.
