Rohde & Schwarz FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester

The Rohde & Schwarz FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester enables ultrasensitive and ultrafast phase noise measurements, as well as measurements of pulsed sources and the residual phase noise of RF components.

With the FSWP phase noise tester, users can quickly measure the spectral purity of signal sources such as generators, synthesisers and voltage-controlled oscillators (VCO). The instrument covers a frequency range up to 50 GHz and offers a top dynamic range. The low phase noise of its local oscillator coupled with cross-correlation makes it possible to easily measure signal sources that in the past required complex test set-ups or could not be measured at all.

Thanks to its fully digital signal processing, the FSWP performs complex measurements at the push of a button and features intuitive touch-screen operation. It can quickly and easily measure the phase noise of pulsed sources as well as residual phase noise under pulsed conditions. The R&S FSWP is therefore suitable for manufacturers of radar components and synthesisers. Thanks to its additional voltage sources, the FSWP is also suitable for measuring VCOs - in research and development and, thanks to its high measurement speed, also in production.

The FSWP can be upgraded to a signal and spectrum analyser.
