Reducing measurement uncertainty with high-end measuring receivers

Presented by Dr.Wolfgang Wendler, Kay-Uwe Sander, Tim Fountain

In this seminar we will discuss a one-box solution that addresses the challenges of verifying and calibrating RF generators and RF attenuators. Traditionally, verification and calibration required several stand-alone instruments, including a highly linear level calibrator, a spectrum analyzer, a modulation analyzer and a frequency counter. However, using many devices could lead to cabling issues, software challenges and data analysis headaches. Modern measuring receivers like the Rohde & Schwarz FSMR3000 combine all these measurement capabilities into a single instrument, and offer additional benefits, such as a fully-fledged signal and spectrum analyzer to measure higher harmonics or to analyze digital modulated signals. The R&S®FSMR3000 is the only measuring receiver to include a high-end phase noise tester, enabling the user to measure all key performance parameters with a single box.

In this seminar we will review the concept of a measuring receiver and outline the steps needed to assure the measurement certainty of signal generators. The Webinar will include a hands-on live demo and a question and answer session.

In this webinar you will learn about:

  • How to verify and calibrate RF generators and RF attenuators.
  • How a one-box solution can reliably and repeatedly address your calibration challenges.
  • How you can use a single RF power sensor with the R&S®FSMR3000 to cover DC to 50 GHz.
