FSWP Phase noise analyser VCO tester, 1 MHz up to 50 GHz

R&S FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester, key facts.

• Cross correlation for very sensitive measurements of amplitude and phase noise in parallel, even on pulsed signals
• Frequency range from 1 MHz up to 56 GHz, 325 GHz with external mixers
• Internal source for measuring residual phase noise up to 54 GHz, even on pulsed signals
• Support of external LO inputs for absolute or residual phase noise measurement up to 56 GHz
• SCPI recorder to simplify code generation

The FSWP phase noise analyser 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 (including pulsed) characterization and integrated high end signal and spectrum analysis make the SWP a unique test instrument. A multitouch display ensures straightforward and intuitive operation. The embedded SCPI recorder enables easy creation of executable scripts.

Available models:

• FSWP8: 1 MHz to 8 GHz
• FSWP26: 1 MHz to 26,5 GHz
• FSWP50: 1 MHz to 50 GHz

The FSWP phase noise analyser and VCO tester is the optimal test solution for radar applications and when developing and manufacturing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs and VCOs. It can be easily configured to meet different application requirements. Thanks to its low noise internal local oscillator, it is capable of measuring most commercially available synthesizers and oscillators without any additional options. The analyser not only measures phase noise, it is also a full-featured signal and spectrum analyser that helps users determine if the wanted signal is available, for example.
