Rohde and Schwarz FSW26P Phase noise analyzer and VCO tester  1MHz to 26.5 GHz

Description of FSWP26 Phase noise analyzer and VCO tester

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.

Thanks to its fully digital signal processing, the R&S FSWP performs 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. The R&S FSWP is therefore ideal for both aerospace and defense and automotive applications, e.g. for manufacturers of radar components and synthesizers. Thanks to its additional voltage sources, the R&S FSWP is also ideal for measuring VCOs ? in research and development and, thanks to its high measurement speed, also in production.

The R&S FSWP8 and R&S FSWP26 models for the 8 and 26 GHz frequency ranges will be available from Rohde & Schwarz in September 2015; the R&S FSWP50 model for up to 50 GHz at the end of 2015.

Features of FSWP26 Phase noise analyzer and VCO tester

• Frequency range from 1 MHz up to 50 GHz, 325 GHz with external mixers
• High end signal and spectrum analyzer and phase noise tester in one box
• SCPI recorder to simplify code generation
• Internal source for measuring residual phase noise on pulsed signals
• Cross correlation for very sensitivity of high amplitude and phase noise measurement in parallel, even on pulsed signals

The R&S FSWP can be upgraded to a signal and spectrum analyzer. Rohde & Schwarz is still the only manufacturer to offer the combination of both measurement solutions in a single device, like its predecessor model, the R&S FSUP.
