R&S®FSV-K30 Noise Figure and Gain Measurements Application

Key Facts

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

Compared with conventional noise measurement systems, R&S®FSV-K30 has the advantage that a wide variety of further RF measurements can also be performed. The R&S®FSV also allows the measurement of harmonics, intermodulation, spurious responses and many other RFrelevant criteria (for measurements on amplifiers and on frequency-converting DUTs, e.g. low-noise converters).
