Brings the experience and power of Rohde & Schwarz signal analysis to PC and cloud

17-Jun-2025 | Press Releases | Test & measurement

Rohde & Schwarz has updated the R&S FSWP for upcoming applications, extending the frequency range up to 56 GHz. With the support of external high-end sources as local oscillators it combines the advantage of an easy-to-use signal source analyzer and a high-end phase noise tester.

This paper reviews the classical spectrum analyzer measurement of L(f) and its shortcomings and discusses how modern phase noise test sets measure phase noise and avoid the limitations imposed by direct spectrum measurements.

Technical specifications of the R&S®FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester.

The R&S®FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester features very high sensitivity thanks to extremely low noise internal sources and cross-correlation. It can measure phase noise on highly stable sources such as those found in radar applications in just seconds. Additional options such as pulsed signal measurements, residual phase noise characterization and integrated high‑end signal and spectrum analysis make the R&S®FSWP a unique test instrument. A multitouch display ensures straightforward and intuitive operation. The embedded SCPI recorder enables easy creation of executable scripts.

The R&S®FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester is a high-end instrument that accurately analyzes noise in key radar and communications system components.
