2GHz analysis bandwidth boost for signal analysers
All R&S FSW models with a maximum input frequency of 26.5 GHz and above are now available with a 2 GHz internal analysis bandwidth option and an 800 MHz bandwidth option for real-time analysis. The company has also added an SCPI recorder for remote controlled test sequences. A capacitative touchscreen simplifies the operation.
The family is used in wireless communications device testing for 5G and Wi-Fi, in radar analysis in the automotive and A&D sectors and in satellite system testing, as well as for characterising RF components such as power amplifiers.
The new range has phase noise that is up to 10dB lower than the previous models, which helps in applications such as troubleshooting the modulation of 5G signals in the microwave range. The internal analysis bandwidth of 2 GHz allows users to analyse wideband signals from radar systems or 802.11ad Wi-Fi signals without requiring an external digitizer such as an oscilloscope in the test setup. The FSW can also analyse bandwidths greater than 2 GHz for automotive radar or 5G applications up to 5GHz by using an R&S RTO2000 oscilloscope.
800 MHz instead of 500 MHz bandwidth is now available for real-time analysis. This allows the analysers to process the measurement signals twice as fast as before and perform more than two million FFTs per second. They have a 100 % probability of intercept of detecting and accurately measuring signals with a minimum duration of just 0.46 µs so that all signal details are detected without gaps. This is a crucial feature for transient analysis and when troubleshooting high-frequency applications.
The SCPI recorder is used to automate test environments, recording the all involved settings and converts them into a script for controlling the analyzer.
