The advanced features of the R&S FSVA include more than the improved phase noise of typ. -117 dBc at 1 GHz with 10 kHz offset. Rohde & Schwarz also has improved the third order intercept (TOI) for frequencies lower than 7 GHz, for a higher dynamic range.
As a result, the analyser offers enhanced spectrum measurements compared with the current R&S FSV family, e.g. spectrum emission mask and ACLR under higher power conditions.
The sensitivity of the preamplifier of typ. -166dBm for frequencies lower than 7GHz has also been improved.
Like the R&S FSV, the R&S FSVA is available in five models, covering frequency ranges from 10 Hz to 4 GHz, 7 GHz, 13.6 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz.
The new analyser supports all FSV hardware functions and firmware options. Plus, the R&S FSV and the R&S FSVA are fully remote control compatible for use in complex test setups.
