Test and measurement company Rohde & Schwarz has announced a new measurement option for the R&S FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyzer that supports real-time signal analysis for frequencies up to 50 GHz with an analysis bandwidth of 160 MHz.
“The addition of the new R&S FSW K160R option upgrades the R&S FSW to a realtime spectrum analyzer, [giving] users a single instrument that can be used for traditional spectrum analysis with excellent RF characteristics, as well as spectrum analysis without any time gaps and a bandwidth of up to 160 MHz in realtime mode. The R&S FSW detects even short, sporadic events that would otherwise be hard to identify without taking up a great deal of time,” Rohde & Schwarz said.
Offering low phase noise of –137 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 kHz offset and a touchscreen user interface, the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer covers a frequency range of 2 Hz to 50 GHz, but can be expanded to include frequencies up to 110 GHz using harmonic mixers available from Rohde & Schwarz.
