Product Description

Overview
Quickest measurement velocity
Conserve time and boost measurement throughput

The built-in R&S® FSWP sources allow measurement of extremely sensitive oscillators like DROs and OCXOs with a smallest number of cross correlations, cutting down significant time. Adding hardware-sped signal processing to the R&S® FSWP phase noise analyzer allows instantaneous phase noise measurements. Brief measurement duration is key since it accelerates the development to production process while raising production throughput.

Superior sensitivity
Maximum sensitivity for measuring phase and amplitude noise

Almost no signal generator on the market can match the R&S® FSWP internal local oscillator's phase-noise performance. A high-quality oscillator can be measured with only a few correlations because of the inherent low-noise analyzer sources. The quickest measuring times are made possible by this.

Maximum adaptability
High-end signal and spectrum analyzer and phase noise analyzer all in one package

To assess EVM or pulse characteristics in several measurement channels, users can analyze the spectrum and demodulate the signal. Because they don't need to buy a separate spectrum analyzer or vector signal analyzer, designers of automatic test systems save money and space. An investment that is future-proof is the R&S® FSWP. It is based on the high-end R&S® FSW, which has a high sensitivity and distinctive RF performance.
