Rohde & Schwarz has expanded its portfolio of mid-range instruments with the FPL1044 spectrum analyser, and a new 40MHz real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) option for the entire FPL family.
The new R&S FPL1044 offers a frequency range of 10Hz to 44GHz. Rohde & Schwarz says it is the first and only spectrum analyser in this price range on the market to reach the 44 GHz milestone, drastically lowering the entry barrier for high-frequency testing.
The universal RTSA option empowers FPL users with powerful real-time analysis capabilities.
Setting itself apart within the FPL family, the FPL1044 is the only model to offer a DC coupling option, expanding the measurable frequency range starting from as low as 10Hz.
This feature ensures maximum versatility for analysing signals from extremely low frequencies up to the critical Ka-band. The analyser maintains the compact, lightweight dimensions and robust design of the FPL family, ensuring portability and efficient use of bench space.
It features a standard 2.92mm male input connector for reliable high-frequency measurements.
Launching simultaneously with the R&S FPL1044 is the new R&S FPL1-K41R 40 MHz real-time spectrum analysis option.
This upgrade is compatible with all frequency variants of the FPL family, empowering users across the entire product line with the ability to capture and analyse even shortest events with a Probability of Intercept (POI) time as low as 4.2µs.
For the new R&S FPL1044, this means 40MHz real-time frequency analysis is now available up to 44GHz, providing a complete, affordable solution for the challenging world of high-frequency signal monitoring and component testing.
The frequency range of 26.5GHz to 44GHz is vital for the aerospace & defence industry, as well as the components industry and for research. It is used for satellite links, radar, radio navigation, earth observation and radio astronomy. Key applications for the R&S FPL1044 are testing satellite and radar systems and components, production quality control of high-frequency components (e.g., filters, amplifiers, traveling-wave tubes) as well as on-site repair and maintenance.
