Ultrasensitive FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester
With the FSWP phase noise tester, users can measure the spectral purity of signal sources such as generators, synthesizers and voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO) more quickly than with any other system. The high-end instrument covers a frequency range up to 50 GHz and offers a top dynamic range. The extremely low phase noise of its local oscillator coupled with cross-correlation even makes it possible to easily measure signal sources that in the past required complex test setups or could not be measured at all.
Fully digital signal processing enables the FSWP to perform complex measurements at the push of a button and features intuitive touchscreen operation. It can quickly and easily measure the phase noise of pulsed sources as well as residual phase noise under pulsed conditions. Ideal applications include aerospace, defense and automotive, e.g., for manufacturers of radar components and synthesizers. Additional voltage sources make the FSWP ideal for measuring VCOs in research and development and, thanks to its high measurement speed, also in production.
