R&S FSWP8 Phase noise analyzer and VCO tester High‑end analysis of signal sources and components1 MHz to 8 GHz-rental

Key facts

• High end signal and spectrum analyzer and phase noise tester in one box
• Cross correlation for very sensitivity of high amplitude and phase noise measurement in parallel, even on pulsed signals
• Frequency range from 1 MHz up to 8 GHz with external mixers
• Internal source for measuring residual phase noise on pulsed signals
• SCPI recorder to simplify code generation

VCO characterization made easy

Measure VCO parameters automatically

The R&S®FSWP features extremely low‑noise internal DC sources to supply and control voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO). The R&S®FSWP measures not only the fundamental voltage but also the power of the higher VCO harmonics relative to the tuning voltage. It also displays phase noise at various offset frequencies relative to the tuning voltage.

Phase noise of pulsed signals

Easy analysis of pulsed signal sources

Measuring the phase noise of pulsed sources used in radar applications has never been easier. The R&S®FSWP captures the signal and calculates all pulse parameters instantaneously. It offers cross‑correlation for phase noise tests and automatically determines the trigger/gating parameters required for pulsed source measurements. Gating enables the R&S®FSWP to achieve a larger dynamic range for pulsed phase noise measurements compared to other methods.
