R&S®FSMR Measuring Receiver

One-box-solution for calibrating signal generators and attenuators

Applications

Modulation and Distortion

Measurement of modulation depth of an amplitude-modulated signal: The FSMR measures the modulation depth and modulation frequency, and optionally also indicates the averaged modulation values. The demodulated audio signal is displayed in the time domain.

The FSMR not only displays the demodulated or the audio signal in the time domain, but also as an RF spectrum generated by means of an FFT, with harmonics and any spurious modulation such as hum displayed selectively. For THD and SINAD measurements, the instrument is automatically tuned to the fundamental. The THD function selectively measures all harmonics within the FFT spectrum. The SINAD function in addition weights noise and nonharmonic spurious.
