Rohde & Schwarz FPL1044 spectrum analyser

The Rohde & Schwarz FPL1044 is the company’s latest spectrum analyser, offering a frequency range of 10 Hz to 44 GHz.

The FPL1044 is also the only model in the FPL range to offer a DC coupling option, expanding the measurable frequency range starting from as low as 10 Hz. This feature provides greater versatility for analysing signals from extremely low frequencies up to the critical Ka band. It maintains the compact, lightweight dimensions and robust design of the FPL range for portability and efficient use of bench space, and features a standard 2.92 mm male input connector for reliable high-frequency measurements.

Launched simultaneously with the FPL1044 is the new FPL1-K41R 40 MHz real-time spectrum analysis option, allowing all FPL analysers to capture and analyse short events with a Probability of Intercept (POI) time as low as 4.2 µs. This means 40 MHz real-time frequency analysis is now available up to 44 GHz.

The frequency range of 26.5–44 GHz is vital for the aerospace and defence industry, as well as the components industry and for research. It is used for satellite links, radar, radio navigation, earth observation and radio astronomy. Key applications for the FPL1044 are testing satellite and radar systems and components, production quality control of high-frequency components (eg, filters, amplifiers, travelling-wave tubes) as well as onsite repair and maintenance.
