                                          1. Rohde & Schwarz Spectrum Analyzer
                                           (2 Hz - 50 GHz)
The high-performance R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer was developed to meet demanding customer requirements. Offering low phase noise, wide analysis bandwidth and straightforward and intuitive operation, the analyzer makes measurements fast and easy.
  • Frequency range from 2 Hz to 50 GHz
  • Low phase noise of –137 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 kHz offset (1 GHz carrier)
  • –88 dBc dynamic range (with noise cancellation) for WCDMA ACLR measurements
  • Up to 2 GHz analysis bandwidth
  • < 0.4 dB total measurement uncertainty up to 8 GHz
  • Real-time analysis up to 160 MHz bandwidth​
