R&S® FSV signal and spectrum analyzer now up to 40 GHz
Like all members of the signal and spectrum analyzer family launched in 2008, the R&S® FSV40 signal and spectrum analyzer features outstanding sensitivity, dynamic range and measurement speed. The low inherent noise of –139 dBm (1 Hz) at 40 GHz combined with a +18 dBm third-order intercept (TOI) allows measurement of spurious emissions without inherent distortions at high sensitivity even at high signal levels. The R&S FSV40 offers exceptional speed: It measures a 1 GHz span at 1 kHz resolution bandwidth in 2.5 s – compared with the 1000 s required by the preceding generation in this class. Measurement speed with remote control is also impressive – 1000 measurements/s – which means the R&S® FSV40 signal and spectrum analyzer ensures high throughput in production. The convenient touch screen and the on-screen keyboard make manual alignments easier.
Rohde & Schwarz is offering the R&S® FSV-K30 option for noise figure and gain measurements on receiver frontends, amplifier components and system modules. Adding this option makes an additional noise figure test assembly unnecessary. The R&S FSV K40 option measures single sideband phase noise on oscillators. This means that a single instrument – the R&S® FSV signal and spectrum analyzer – can determine the key parameters of an oscillator: output power, frequency and frequency stability.
Together, the R&S® FSV-B9 and -B10 options transform the R&S® FSV signal and spectrum analyzer into a scalar network analyzer. The internal R&S® FSV-B9 tracking generator covers the range from 100 kHz to 7 GHz. For higher frequencies, the analyzer uses external signal generators as tracking generators that are connected via the R&S® FSV-B10 external generator control option in order to measure two-port devices. This option also makes it easy to perform measurements on frequency-converting DUTs as well as measurements on frequency dividers and multipliers.
