Atec FSL18 User Manual

R&S®FSL18
Portable Spectrum
Analyzer

Frequency range
up to 18 GHz

At first glance, you will notice that the R&S®FSL18’s graphi­cal user interface is very similar to that of the R&S®FSU and
R&S®FSP.
Its compact size and low weight, plus its battery pack,
make the R&S®FSL18 ideal for mobile use.
The R&S®FSL18 has unique plug & play upgrade capabilities.
All options can be added without opening the instrument.

The most extensive set of functions in its class

The R&S®FSL18 offers a comprehensive set of measurement
functions and features that are more typical of high-end ana­lyzers, thus ensuring an excellent price/performance ratio:

Buying a spectrum analyzer no longer means having to
make compromises. With the R&S®FSL18, you can now
enjoy high-end features without stretching your budget.
The R&S®FSL18 expands the R&S®FSL spectrum analyzer
family by extending the frequency range to 18 GHz (20 GHz
overrange). It is an extremely lightweight and compact
spectrum analyzer, which makes it ideal for a large number
of applications in development, service and production at
microwave frequencies. Examples include the installation
and maintenance of radar systems and microwave links, as
well as the production of microwave components or satel­lite surveillance.
Despite its compact size and extended frequency range,
the R&S®FSL18 is the only instrument in its class that has
a bandwidth of 28 MHz. Featuring an I/Q demodulation
bandwidth of 28 MHz, the spectrum analyzer is ideal for
measuring both spectral and modulation parameters of
broadband applications such as WLAN and WiMAX, includ­ing harmonic signals up to 18 GHz. In the time domain, its
fast digitizer allows the detection of pulsed signals and the
measurement of pulse widths.
