Analysers cover full spectrum of applications

Rohde and Schwarz reckons it can now meet almost every requirement in spectrum analysis with its product portfolio of 33 instruments.

Rohde and Schwarz reckons it can now meet almost every requirement in spectrum analysis with its product portfolio of 33 instruments, ranging from small portable spectrum analysers to premium microwave signal analysers. The company first entered the field of spectrum analysis in 1986 with the R and S FSA. Since then, the company has continued to fulfil its role as pioneer in developing innovative solutions.

Now the R and S ESU EMI test receiver speeds up EMC measurements by the factor of 100; and the R and S FSUP is the first instrument to combine the functionalities of a signal source analyser with those of a spectrum analyser.

'What we do best is to create innovative products that are not yet available but that everyone dreams of', explains Josef Wolf, Director of Subdivision Spectrum and Network analysers.

A recent example is WiMAX: Rohde and Schwarz has been involved in defining this standard right from the start, and also provides a wide range of RF test equipment for development and production applications for the mobile version.

UMTS LTE represents the next step: even while Rohde and Schwarz is supporting the definition of the standard, the company already offers a solution for development and research projects.

'If you want to position yourself in the technology sector on a permanent basis, it is essential to transcend limits', states Josef Wolf.

'This thinking will enable innovations in the future as well'.

The success story began in 1986 with the R and S FSA.

Back then, the newcomer set standards in RF performance and ease of operation as the first spectrum analyser on the market to feature a colour display.

The second generation, the R and S FSE family, enabled for the first time modulation analysis of digitally modulated signals in a high-end spectrum analyser.

The RMS detector redefined power measurement with modulated signals and was integrated into test specifications, eg for measuring adjacent channel power.

The R and S FSIQ was launched in 1998 and soon established itself on the market as a reference in development for 3GPP FDD.

Today, Rohde and Schwarz seamlessly covers the spectrum analysis segment for any requirement and budget in five instrument classes ranging from a 3GHz handheld to a 50GHz desktop unit.

For mobile radio, broadband and close range communications applications or general measurements such as noise figure, phase noise or power, the cross-platform software portfolio provides a customised solution.
