Rohde & Schwarz has expanded their portfolio of mid-range signal and spectrum analyzers. The new FSVA Series offers a 160 MHz analysis bandwidth over its entire frequency range, making it the only analyzer in its class to do so at frequencies between 26.5 GHz and 40 GHz. With its enhanced phase noise performance, this analyzer offers users very high accuracy in spectral measurements on narrowband modulated signals and in phase noise measurements.
These advanced features of the FSVA analyzers include more than the improved phase noise of typ. -117 dBc at 1 GHz with 10 kHz offset. They also have improved the third order intercept (TOI) for frequencies lower than 7 GHz, for a higher dynamic range. As a result, this analyzer offers enhanced spectrum measurements compared with the current FSV family. The sensitivity of the preamplifier for frequencies lower than 7 GHz has also been improved.
Like the FSV, the FSVA is available in five models, covering frequency ranges from 10 Hz to 4 GHz, 7 GHz, 13.6 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz. It supports all FSV hardware functions and firmware options. The FSVA, like the FSV is fully remote control compatible and can be used in complex test setups. This new mid-range FSVA signal and spectrum analyzer is now available from Rohde & Schwarz.
