The high-end R&S FSW signal
and spectrum analyzer comes in three models that cover the frequency ranges 2
Hz to 8 GHz, 13 GHz or 26.5 GHz. The R&S FSW was specially designed to meet
the requirements of development laboratories in the aerospace, defense and
communications industries. The result is reflected in its excellent technical
features.
The practical 12.1" touchscreen is the first
feature that catches users’ attention. The MultiView function allows users to
display the results of different applications on the touchscreen at the same
time, enabling them to keep track of even the most complex signal analyses and
find errors more easily. An additional benefit is the elimination of
time-consuming switching between measurement applications.
At 10 kHz carrier offset, the R&S FSW
achieves a phase noise specification of less than –137 dBc (1 Hz), which is up
to 10 dB less than comparable instruments on the market. This is especially
important for developers of RF components and complete systems for radar
applications. By taking advantage of the analyzer’s excellent phase noise
specification, they can achieve more stable radar signals. Equipped with the
R&S FSW-K6 option, the R&S FSW also supports comprehensive analysis of
pulsed signals, e.g. for radar applications. Its broad analysis bandwidth of up
to 160 MHz allows the R&S FSW to measure wideband, hopping and chirp
signals, which makes it ready today for the requirements of tomorrow’s wireless
standards such as the 802.11ac. Developers can also detect spurious emissions
extremely quickly with the R&S FSW thanks to its low inherent noise and its
ability to rapidly analyze wide frequency ranges, even when using narrow
resolution bandwidths.
The R&S FSW is the perfect instrument for
developers of wireless communications base stations and components. They
especially appreciate the analyzer’s broad 160 MHz demodulation bandwidth and
multi-standard radio analysis function: The combination of these two features
in a single instrument makes it possible for the first time to simultaneously
measure multiple mobile radio and wireless standards at different frequencies.
Users can easily spot signal interaction among the standards. Josef Wolf,
Director of the Spectrum Analysis, Network Analysis and EMC Subdivision at
Rohde & Schwarz, points out: "These measurements are essential for
multi-standard base stations of the future. That is why we have integrated the
multi-standard radio analyzer into the R&S FSW. This feature, combined with
the large touchscreen display, provides functionality that is unique on the
market. The optimum analyzer for tomorrow’s developments is now available
today."

analyzer is now available from Rohde & Schwarz. Visitwww.rohde-schwarz.com/product/fsw for more information.
