rohde schwarz FSWP8 Phase noise analyzer and VCO tester,1 MHz to 8 GHz
Key Features
▶ Combination of R&S®FS-Z series mixers enables phase noise measurement above 50 GHz
▶ Frequency range: 1 MHz ~ 8 GHz
▶ Achieves ultra-high sensitivity phase noise measurement:
-172 dBc/Hz (typical value, 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset)
-153 dBc/Hz (typical value, 10 GHz, 10 kHz offset)
▶ Single unit supports full-featured spectrum analyzer
▶ Can simultaneously evaluate phase noise and amplitude noise
▶ Phase noise of pulse signals can be measured with one button
▶ Residual phase noise of two-port devices can also be measured with one button
Key facts
Cross correlation for very sensitive measurements of amplitude and phase noise in parallel, even on pulsed signals
Frequency range from 1 MHz up to 56 GHz, 325 GHz with external mixers
Internal source for measuring residual phase noise up to 54 GHz, even on pulsed signals
Support of external LO inputs for absolute or residual phase noise measurement up to 56 GHz
SCPI recorder to simplify code generation
Unrivaled low phase noise
The R&S®FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester is very sensitive thanks to extremely low-noise internal sources and cross-correlation. It can measure phase noise and amplitude noise in mere seconds on highly stable sources such as those in radar applications. Additional options such as pulsed signal measurements, residual phase noise (including pulsed) characterization and integrated high‑end signal and spectrum analysis make the R&S®FSWP a unique test instrument.
