The built-in R&S®FSWP sources allow measurement of extremely sensitive oscillators like DROs and OCXOs with a smallest number of cross correlations, cutting down significant time. Adding hardware-sped signal processing to the R&S®FSWP phase noise analyzer allows instantaneous phase noise measurements. Brief measurement duration is key since it accelerates the development to production process while raising production throughput.
Almost no signal generator on the market can match the R&S®FSWP internal local oscillator's phase-noise performance. A high-quality oscillator can be measured with only a few correlations because of the inherent low-noise analyzer sources. The quickest measuring times are made possible by this.
To assess EVM or pulse characteristics in several measurement channels, users can analyze the spectrum and demodulate the signal. Because they don't need to buy a separate spectrum analyzer or vector signal analyzer, designers of automatic test systems save money and space. An investment that is future-proof is the R&S®FSWP. It is based on the high-end R&S®FSW, which has a high sensitivity and distinctive RF performance.

Phase noise of R&S®FSWPA phase noise analyzer and VCO tester manufactured by R&S®FSWP
The R&S®FSWP series consists of three main models: R&S®FSWP8 covering 1 MHz to 8 GHz, R&S®FSWP26 covering 1 MHz to 26.5 GHz, and R&S®FSWP50 covering 1 MHz to 50 GHz. All models share an analysis bandwidth of up to 320 MHz.
The instrument combines built-in internal sources that minimize the number of required cross-correlations with dedicated hardware-accelerated signal processing, enabling instantaneous phase noise analysis and higher production throughput.
Yes. It combines a phase noise analyzer, VCO tester, and a high-end signal and spectrum analyzer in a single chassis, allowing users to demodulate signals and evaluate EVM or pulse parameters without additional hardware investments.
The R&S®FSWP internal local oscillator delivers exceptional sensitivity with phase noise levels below –166 dBc (1 Hz) at a 1 GHz carrier with a 10 kHz offset, matching or outperforming standard signal generators on the market.
The instrument features a 12.1" WXGA color touchscreen (1280 × 800 resolution). Its nominal outer dimensions are 462 mm × 240 mm × 504 mm (18.15 in × 9.44 in × 19.81 in), and weights vary between 20.6 kg and 24.5 kg depending on model and installed options.
The analyzer operates across a temperature range of +5 °C to +50 °C (permissible range 0 °C to +55 °C) and is specified for maximum operating altitudes up to 4600 m (approximately 15,100 ft) above sea level.
