Applications

R&S®FSV-K30 Noise figure and gain measurement application

The R&S®FSV-K30 option expands the R&S®FSV signal and spectrum analyzer by adding measurement functionality otherwise only provided by special noise measurement analyzers.

The following parameters can be measured at a specified frequency or in a selectable frequency range:

  • Noise figure in dB
  • Noise temperature in K
  • Gain in dB

The R&S®FSV-K30 can perform a wider variety of RF measurements than is possible with conventional noise measurement systems. The R&S®FSV supports the measurement of harmonics, intermodulation, spurious responses and many other RF-relevant criteria (for measurements on amplifiers and on frequency-converting DUTs, e.g. lownoise converters).

  • Noise measurements
    • Measurement range 0 dB to 35 dB
    • Resolution 0.01 dB
    • Device measurement uncertainty 0.05 dB
  • Gain measurements
    • Measurement range –20 dB to +60 dB
    • Resolution 0.01 dB
    • Measurement accuracy ±0.2 dB
