Equipped with the company’s FSV-K70 vector signal analyzer application, the Rohde & Schwarz FSV signal and spectrum analyzer demodulates digitally modulated signals down to the bit level. This option addresses users in development and manufacturing who work with digitally modulated RF signals.

According to R&S, the user interface is designed for best ease of use. In combination with the touchscreen, the block-diagram operation makes the vector signal analysis of complex signals an easy task, the company also says. Available predefined standards include GSM, GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, and TETRA. 

Equipped with the company’s FSV-K70 vector signal analyzer application, the Rohde & Schwarz FSV signal and spectrum analyzer demodulates digitally modulated signals down to the bit level. This option addresses users in development and manufacturing who work with digitally modulated RF signals.

The FSV-K76 and FSV-K77 measurement applications are designed for TD-SCDMA. Code domain power and modulation accuracy measurements can now be performed in the same manner as with WCDMA or cdma2000. Customers and applications include basestation and repeater manufacturers for R&D and production, network operators for quality approval tests, and chipset and user equipment manufacturers for R&D and quality assurance.

The FSV-K7S option enhances the FVS-K7 analog AM/FM/PM demodulator option with measurements on FM stereo transmitters. An integrated stereo decoder measures the deviation of the left and right channels, of the pilot, and of the RDS carrier. Signal-to-noise ratio, crosstalk, and distortion measurements are easy to perform. The various audio components of the stereo signal can be further analyzed with displays in the time domain or as a spectrum.

The FSV-K14 option adds a spectrogram display and trace recording function to the FSV spectrum and signal analyzer for the analysis of intermittent signals or interferers. With the FSV-B21 option, external harmonic mixers such as the FS-Z60/75/90/110 can be connected to the FSV30/40 to extend the frequency range up to 110 GHz.

The FSV-K9 power sensor measurements option now supports the NRP-Z56 and NRP-Z57 power sensors. The FSV-K10 option has been enhanced with dedicated filters for measurements in a GSM multicarrier environment. And, new functions for the FSV base unit include an I/Q analyzer mode for the time and frequency display of captured I/Q data, new functions for emulating legacy instruments, and a CCDF that can be internally triggered on pulsed signals.
