R&S FSV3050 and R&S FSVA3050 from Rohde and Schwarz are the new signals and frequency analyser instruments with an extended frequency range. The T&M instruments offer a frequency range from 2Hz up to 50Ghz which is ideal for 5G NR testing. Both models support a full FR2 frequency range up to 52.6GHz making them suitable for application in the aerospace and defence industry. The models have an additional option which allows signal analysis of up to 54 GHz. With up to 1 GHz analysis bandwidth it enables users to perform highly demanding measurement applications such as linearizing power amplifiers, capturing short events and characterizing frequency agile signals.
The R&S FSV offers a simple interface and a high measurement speed of up to 200 MHz analysis bandwidth. The model is designed to enable fast and simple deployment and use in labs and production lines. The R&S FSVA offers a phase noise of 127 dBc/Hz (f_center = 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset), which was only available in much more expensive, high-end instruments. The main driver for 50 GHz models comes from 5G NR applications. The FR2 band n262 spans 47.2 – 48.2 GHz, which is covered by the new 50GHz models in the default configuration.
