What is the frequency range of the R&S FSW8 signal analyzer?
The Rohde & Schwarz FSW8 signal and spectrum analyzer covers a frequency range from 2 Hz to 8 GHz when DC coupled, or 10 MHz to 8 GHz when AC coupled. The instrument provides exceptional frequency resolution down to 0.01 Hz with frequency readout accuracy determined by the reference accuracy, resolution bandwidth, and span settings. This wide frequency coverage makes it suitable for comprehensive RF and microwave signal analysis across a broad range of applications.
What noise floor performance does the FSW8 achieve?
The FSW8 delivers excellent sensitivity with displayed average noise levels of -145 dBm (typical -150 dBm) from 9 kHz to 1 MHz, improving to -150 dBm (typical -154 dBm) from 1 MHz to 1 GHz with RF attenuation at 0 dB and no preamplifier. With the optional RF preamplifier engaged at 30 dB gain, the noise floor reaches -163 dBm (typical -166 dBm) from 50 MHz to 150 MHz and -166 dBm (typical -169 dBm) from 150 MHz to 8 GHz, providing outstanding measurement sensitivity for low-level signal analysis.
How does the FSW8 handle high input power levels?
The R&S FSW8 is designed to safely handle significant input power with a maximum CW RF power of 30 dBm (1 W) when RF attenuation is set to 10 dB or greater. At 0 dB attenuation, the maximum input is 20 dBm. The analyzer also tolerates up to 50 V DC voltage on AC coupled inputs and features pulse spectral density handling of 97 dB uV/MHz at 0 dB attenuation with the preamplifier off, protecting the sensitive front-end circuitry during diverse measurement scenarios.
What phase noise performance can I expect from the FSW8?
The FSW8 exhibits outstanding phase noise characteristics with SSB phase noise at 1000 MHz carrier frequency reaching -109 dBc (1 Hz) at 100 Hz offset and better than -127 dBc (1 Hz), typical -132 dBc at 1 kHz offset without the OCXO option. With the optional R&S FSW-B4 OCXO precision frequency reference, close-in phase noise improves significantly to -95 dBc (1 Hz), typical -100 dBc at 10 Hz offset. These specifications ensure accurate measurements of low phase noise sources and high-quality oscillators.
What resolution bandwidths are available on the FSW8?
The FSW8 offers flexible resolution bandwidth settings from 1 Hz to 10 MHz in standard 1/2/3/5 sequence, plus 3.9 kHz and 6.25 kHz bandwidths. With the optional R&S FSW-B8 option, additional bandwidths of 20 MHz, 50 MHz, and 80 MHz become available. Channel filters provide bandwidths from 100 Hz to 10 MHz with root raised cosine filter shapes, offering shape factors better than 5:1 for sweep and FFT filters and less than 2:1 for channel filters with nominal bandwidth accuracy under 3 percent.
What is the third-order intercept point of the FSW8?
The R&S FSW8 demonstrates excellent linearity with third-order intercept (TOI) performance exceeding 25 dBm (typical 30 dBm) from 10 MHz to 1 GHz with RF attenuation at 0 dB, two-tone level at -15 dBm each, and preamplifier off. From 1 GHz to 3 GHz, the TOI exceeds 20 dBm (typical 25 dBm), and from 3 GHz to 8 GHz it exceeds 17 dBm (typical 20 dBm). This high dynamic range capability allows simultaneous measurement of strong and weak signals without significant intermodulation distortion.
How fast can the FSW8 perform sweep measurements?
The FSW8 offers versatile sweep time capabilities ranging from 3 microseconds to 16000 seconds for spans of 10 Hz or greater, with sweep time accuracy of approximately 3 percent nominal. For zero span measurements, the sweep time range extends from 1 microsecond to 16000 seconds with 0.1 percent nominal accuracy. The number of sweep points is configurable from 101 to 100001 points with a default of 1001 points, allowing users to balance measurement speed against frequency resolution requirements.
What analysis bandwidth options does the FSW8 support?
The standard FSW8 provides 10 MHz equalized signal analysis bandwidth. This can be expanded through optional upgrades to 28 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz, 320 MHz, and 512 MHz. The R&S FSW-B1200 option extends this to 1200 MHz. Note that the FSW8 does not have a YIG preselector since its frequency range is limited to 8 GHz, and the R&S FSW-B2000 2 GHz external bandwidth option is not available for the FSW8 or FSW13 models.
