Brief description

Outstanding quality and innovation does not have to come with a high price tag. The R&S®FPC spectrum analyzer offers unrivaled performance at an affordable price. It is engineered in Germany and designed to meet the same quality standards as highend instruments.

Features & benefits

Investment protection

The R&S®FPC is future-proof thanks to the unique Rohde & Schwarz upgrades. The base unit covers a frequency range from 5 kHz to 1 GHz, with keycode-activated upgrades available. The R&S®FPC can be upgraded with a software keycode. All options are installed can be user enabled. The unique Rohde & Schwarz upgrades does away with additional upgrade calibration.

Frequency extension using keycodes

All options can be upgraded by entering a software keycode (R&S®FPC-K42 option for R&S®FPC1500 only).

High resolution

The R&S®FPC has the largest, highest-resolution display of any entry level spectrum analyzer. More horizontal plus more vertical display size and resolution means more signal details in unprecedented clarity. This top class R&S®FPC display visualizes the outstanding signal measurement quality.

Easy virtual control

Simple and intuitive controls are changing the industry. The R&S®FPC connects to R&S®InstrumentView as well as to R&S®MobileView remote control platforms via USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi. R&S®InstrumentView (PC software) and R&S®MobileView (iOS/Android app) are powerful all-in-one remote control applications that come bundled with the R&S®FPC.;

One-port vector network analyzer

The unique design with internal VSWR bridge lets the R&S®FPC1500 perform one-port vector reflection measurements. This feature enables impedance measurements of RF antennas or RF circuits using the Smith chart display or distance-to-fault measurements to detect faulty locations in long RF cables.

Tracking generator

RF engineering often requires testing of passive or active RF circuits that do not generate any independent RF signals, such as amplifiers, filters or RF cables. A standalone spectrum analyzer is not enough, a signal generator is needed. The R&S®FPC1500 features a tracking generator function for measuring transmissions in RF filter and general frequency response measurements.

Signal generator

The R&S®FPC1500 has an integrated signal source with an independent mode. This unique capability enables the R&S®FPC1500 to act as a continuous wave (CW) signal generator. The source can be used as an LO signal for mixer measurements or as an input signal for amplifier gain measurements.

Modulation analysis

Basic digital modulation formats are used in many applications, such as near-field communications. The R&S®FPC supports both ASK and FSK analysis. The digital modulation displays include trace, eye diagram, modulation error and symbol analysis. Specialized configuration presets for Bluetooth® Low Energy (Bluetooth® LE) and tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are available, too. Demodulated audio is supported via the built-in speaker or headphone jack.

Receiver mode

The R&S®FPC comes with the R&S®FPC-K43 receiver mode option for EMI debugging of circuit boards, integrated circuits or cable shielding. The R&S®FPC-B22 preamplifier compensates for coupling loss of probes and increases sensitivity to detect small interfering signals. Cost-effective yet powerful, the R&S®FPC can analyze and locate disturbance sources during development.

Well-matched RF ports are a crucial aspect to any RF system. Matched ports, for example, protect amplifier output ports from reflected power overload. This undesired reflected power could destroy the whole amplifier. Matched ports also maximize power transmission, effectively extending the battery life of wireless products such as those made for the internet of things (IoT).
