What is the frequency coverage of the Rohde & Schwarz FSW43 spectrum analyzer?
The R&S FSW43 spans from 2 Hz to 43.5 GHz with DC coupling, or 10 MHz to 43.5 GHz with AC coupling. A YIG preselector provides image-free spectrum analysis for frequencies from 8 GHz upward, ensuring exceptional spurious-free dynamic range and rejection of out-of-band interferers. The sub-Hertz frequency resolution of 0.01 Hz allows detailed characterization of oscillators and synthesizers with high precision.
What analysis bandwidth options are available on the FSW43?
The FSW43 offers scalable analysis bandwidth from 10 MHz standard up to an impressive 5 GHz. Internal bandwidth options include 28 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz, 320 MHz, 512 MHz, 1200 MHz, and 2000 MHz. The R&S FSW-B5000 option extends capability to 5 GHz analysis bandwidth using an external R&S RTO2064 oscilloscope as a high-performance digitizer, enabling comprehensive analysis of wideband 5G NR, radar, and millimeter-wave signals.
How does the FSW43 phase noise compare to other high-end analyzers?
At a 1 GHz carrier, the FSW43 achieves outstanding phase noise of -109 dBc (1 Hz) at 100 Hz offset (typically -116 dBc), better than -127 dBc (1 Hz) at 1 kHz offset (typically -132 dBc), and better than -139 dBc (1 Hz) at 100 kHz offset (typically -143 dBc). With the optional R&S FSW-B4 OCXO reference, 10 Hz offset performance reaches -95 dBc (1 Hz) specified. This level of phase noise performance outperforms many competing analyzers by more than 10 dB.
What is the displayed average noise level of the FSW43 at millimeter-wave frequencies?
From 8 GHz to 13.6 GHz with YIG preselector on, the FSW43 delivers DANL of -150 dBm (typically -155 dBm) normalized to 1 Hz. From 13.6 GHz to 18 GHz, DANL is -149 dBm (typically -153 dBm). Performance remains strong through the millimeter-wave bands, maintaining -147 dBm (typically -150 dBm) from 18 to 25 GHz. All specifications apply with RF attenuation at 0 dB, 50 ohm termination, and RF preamplifier off.
What are the third-order intercept specifications for the FSW43 above 8 GHz?
With RF attenuation at 0 dB, YIG preselector on, RF preamplifier off, and two tones at -20 dBm each, the FSW43 achieves TOI greater than 8 dBm (typically 11 dBm) from 8 GHz to 13.6 GHz. From 13.6 GHz to 40 GHz, TOI exceeds 10 dBm (typically 15 dBm). Above 40 GHz through the 43.5 GHz upper frequency limit, nominal TOI is 12 dBm, ensuring excellent linearity for multi-carrier and high-power measurements.
Can the FSW43 perform real-time analysis on wideband signals?
Yes, the FSW43 supports real-time spectrum analysis with bandwidths up to 800 MHz when equipped with the R&S FSW-B800R option. Real-time mode delivers 0.46 microsecond probability of intercept and 2.4 million FFT per second processing speed. Users can set frequency-dependent masks to trigger capture of specific signal events, enabling detection of transient emissions, frequency-hopping signals, and short-duration interference for detailed offline analysis.
Does the FSW43 support external mixer measurements beyond 43.5 GHz?
Yes, the FSW43 supports the R&S FSW-B21 LO/IF connections option for use with external harmonic mixers from Rohde & Schwarz. This extends frequency coverage well beyond the 43.5 GHz base specification, enabling measurements up to 500 GHz for applications in millimeter-wave communications, automotive radar at 77 GHz and above, satellite systems operating in V-band and W-band, and advanced scientific research.
What resolution bandwidth choices does the FSW43 offer for wideband signal measurements?
The FSW43 provides resolution bandwidths from 1 Hz to 10 MHz in a 1/2/3/5 sequence as standard, including 3.9 kHz and 6.25 kHz for specific channel spacing requirements. With the optional R&S FSW-B8 enhancement, ultra-wide RBW settings of 20 MHz, 50 MHz, and 80 MHz become available. These wide resolution bandwidths are essential for measuring peak power in UWB systems per regulatory standards and for characterizing wideband modulated signals.
