R&S FSC Spectrum Analyzer Features & Benefits
The R&S FSC features very good RF performance. Its DANL, TOI and phase noise make it ideal for many standard measurement applications.
General-purpose spectrum analysis presets for spectral characteristics, e.g. harmonics, AM modulation depth, ACLR, etc. are included as standard.
R&S FSC has the smallest footprint in its class at only 3 HU, ½ 19”. It takes up very little space on a bench.
Total cost of ownership is excellent due to affordable initial and calibration costs, plus very low operating cost with only 12 W power consumption
The R&S FSC is operated via the keyboard and a rotary knob with an integrated enter function. All important settings such as frequency, bandwidth, span or marker can be directly accessed via hardkey buttons.
Clearly arranged softkeys at the lower edge of the touch screen provide additional menu selections.
R&S FSC Measurement functions
- Noise marker for determining the noise power referenced to 1 Hz measurement bandwidth
- Frequency counter with 0.1 Hz resolution
- Limit line monitoring (pass/fail function) for indicating whether the DUT complies with defined limits
- Modulation depth measurement of AM-modulated signals
- Measurement of harmonics and total harmonic distortion
- AM/FM audio demodulator (audio via built-in loudspeaker or via headphones)
- Scalar transmission measurement for fast and simple determination of the transmission characteristics of DUTs such as cables, filters or amplifiers (available for the R&S®FSC models .13 and .16 with tracking generator)
- Location of EMC problems on printed boards using the R&S®HZ-15 near-field probe set for emission measurements from 30 MHz to 3 GHz
- Field-strength measurements taking into account the specific antenna factors of the connected antenna, the field strength being displayed directly in dBμV/m
- Power measurement on pulsed signals in the time domain with predefined settings for the GSM and EDGE mobile radio standards
- Channel power measurement in a definable transmission channel with predefined settings for 3GPP WCDMA, cdmaOne, CDMA2000® and LTE mobile communications standards
- Measurement of occupied bandwidth (OBW)
- Adjacent channel power, absolute or referenced to the TX carrier for up to 12 channels and 12 adjacent channels
- Gated sweep for displaying the modulation spectrum of burst signals such as GSM or WLAN
- Measurement of spurious emissions
