The new standard in the medium class…

Features

The new FSP Spectrum Analyzers from
Rohde & Schwarz are outstanding for
their innovative measurements and a
host of standard functions.

Instead of a wide choice of options,
FSP offers as standard all the functions
and interfaces you may expect from a
state-of-the-art spectrum analyzer:

• Largest colour display in its class

• Resolution bandwidths from 1 Hz

to 10 MHz

• Highly selective digital and FFT
filters

• Quasi-peak detector and EMI
bandwidths

• Convenient documentation of
results as a hardcopy or file in
PC-compatible formats

• Interfaces: GPIB, Centronics,
RS232, LAN (option)

• Automatic test routines for measuring
TOI, OBW, phase noise and ACP (R)

• Split screen with separate settings
and up to 3 traces per screen

• Editable limit lines including
PASS/FAIL indication

• Fast measurements in the time do­main : minimum sweep time 1 µs

• Gated sweep for measurements on
TDMA signals

• Statistical measurement functions
for determining crest factor and
CCDF (complementary cumulative
distribution function)

Featuring such a wealth of functions,
FSP offers state-of-the-art spectrum
analysis at an extremely attractive
price-performance ratio.

Speed

Time is a finite resource – so high
measurement speed is indispensable
for competitiveness and cost-effective
testing.

Here, too, the new FSP offers charac­teristics that make it top of the class:

• Up to 30 measurements/s on GPIB
interface including trace transfer of
501 binary data

• 70 measurements/s on GPIB inter­face in zero span mode including
trace transfer of 501 binary data

On top of this, FSP features as stan­dard the following unique attributes:

• RMS detector for fast and repro­ducible power measurements on
digitally modulated signals in fre­quency and time domain

2 Spectrum Analyzer FSP

Performance

• Minimum sweep time of 2.5 ms

• 1 µs time domain measurements

• Unique fast ACP mode for high-

speed ACPR measurements in time
domain using the standard-stipulat­ed test filters

With 30 measurements/s in manual
operation and digital filters with
sweep time 2.5 times faster than com­parable analog filters, FSP will also
help in your day-to-day work to
develop your product much faster.

Modern communication systems are
required to achieve optimum spectral
efficiency at high data rates. For the
3rd generation of CDMA mobile radio
systems currently under development
this is achieved, among other things,
by high-precision power control.

FSP is the ideal partner in develop­ment and production, featuring the
smallest level measurement uncer­tainty of all spectrum analyzers pres­ently on the market, as well as excel­lent RF characteristics:

• 0.5 dB total measurement uncer­tainty allows higher tolerances for
the DUT, thus increasing produc­tion yield

• 0.07 dB linearity uncertainty (1 σ)
is ideal for precise measurements,
for example of gain control and
ACPR

• RMS detector with >100 dB
dynamic range measures power
fast and accurately irrespective of
the signal shape – almost like a
thermal power sensor

• The displayed average noise level
of typ. –155 dBm (1 Hz) is at­tained without the use of preampli­fiers and thus without any reduc­tion in dynamic range

• Typ. –145 dBc (1 Hz) phase noise
at 10 MHz offset offers optimum
conditions for ACPR measure­ments on W-CDMA systems

Resolution bandwidths of up to
100 kHz are fully digital and provide
– in addition to high selectivity – an
ideal basis for accurate (adjacent-)
channel power measurements thanks
to a maximum bandwidth deviation of
3%.

…with high-end characteristics

Spectrum Analyzer FSP 3

High-end characteristics…

Rohde&Schwarz ASICs

Top-class performance as offered by
FSP essentially depends on the exten­sive use of digital signal processing
and large-scale integration of compo­nents.

For these demanding tasks, Rohde&
Schwarz has developed ASICs tai­lored to the requirements of signal
analysis. Key functions such as

• RMS detection,

• digital IF filtering,

• logarithmation,

• CCDF measurement

are "cast into silicon" and
are thus faster than
conventional solu­tions.

RMS detector of the FSP spectrum ana­lyzer measures all modern communi­cation signals with an accuracy and
speed unparalleled so far.

Logarithmic amplifier

FSP is equipped as standard with dig­ital resolution filters between 10 Hz
and 100 kHz of high selectivity and

very small band-

CCDF

The complementary cumulative distri­bution function, or briefly CCDF,
describes the probability of a signal
power exceeding a specific (usually
the average) power. CCDF analysis is
indispensable for determining the opti­mal transmitting power for CDMA sig­nals assuming that clipping over
known, short intervals is tolerable. FSP
with its dedicated CCDF measurement
routine furnishes 10
only 250 ms, thus enabling extremely
accurate statistical analysis even of

rarely occurring signal peaks.

FSP as a fast and cost-

RMS detector

The RMS detector – a unique feature in
all current Rohde & Schwarz spectrum
analyzers – yields fast to stable and
reproducible results also for complex
signals such as CDMA. With a very
large number of linear single measure­ments performed, followed by power
integration, the detector avoids the
measurement error inherent in conven­tional analyzers which results from the
averaging of the log video signal. The

width
error. The filters have
an extremely small loga­rithmic level deviation of <0.2 dB
in the range 0 dB to –70 dB. They are
implemented as ASIC functions, so
their great precision is attained with­out any reduction in measurement
speed.

The platform

Fit for the future

Ergonomics & design

Excellent technical data like those of
FSP require a high-grade and service­friendly platform. All the modules are
optimally shielded and easy to
exchange, and are accommodated in
a lightweight but stable frame. A low­noise powerful fan in conjunction with
low power consumption of 70 VA to
150 VA (depending on model) makes
for high reliability.

A 2-year calibration interval (exclud­ing the reference frequency) and a
3-year warranty worldwide are
offered with the FSP.

Thanks to its modular design, FSP is
optimally equipped to cope with all
present and future tasks. The design
takes into account both hardware and
firmware extensions to safeguard your
investment far into the future. So you
can rely on your FSP to meet all
requirements also in the years to
come.

FSP sets the ergonomic standard in this
class of analyzers. The 21 cm (8.4”)
colour display is the largest and most
brilliant in its category. Vertical and
horizontal rows of softkeys allow the
convenient handling even of complex
measurement tasks. Parameters like
frequency and amplitude are entered
by means of dedicated hardkeys and
unit keys.

…through innovative solutions

Spectrum Analyzer FSP 5

Innovative solutions…

Optimum dynamic range

Featuring the lowest displayed aver­age noise level in its class
(DANL <−145 dBm at 10 Hz RBW),
FSP measures even small signals accu­rately without the use of preamplifiers
whilst maintaining the full dynamic
range. Together with the high intercept
point this yields an intermodulation­free range of typically 100 dB
– again a record in the medium class
of analyzers.

Ultralow measurement
uncertainty

In the vital frequency range below
3 GHz, FSP is outstanding for its ultra­low measurement uncertainty. The
total measurement uncertainty is less
than 0.5 dB. Due to this excellent
value, the use of power meters in rou­tine lab applications very often
becomes superfluous and DUTs may
be allowed greater tolerances.

RMS detector

The unique RMS detector used in spec­trum analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz
measures modern, noise-like communi­cation signals with best repeat accu­racy and stability.

There are neither correction factors
nor the typical errors caused by aver­aging of logarithmic trace data, so the
correct average power is displayed
with high stability for all signal types –
almost like in measurements with a
thermal power meter.

Phase noise

The low phase noise of FSP makes it
suitable for demanding measurement
tasks both in the vicinity of the carrier
(typ. –113 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 kHz) and
far from the carrier (typ. –125 dBc
(1 Hz) at 1 MHz). FSP is thus optimally
equipped for performing spectral
analysis and ACPR measurements on
narrowband systems like IS-136 or
PDC as well as on wideband systems
like IS-95 or W-CDMA.

FSP is the first spectrum analyzer to
offer statistical analysis of signals by
means of the complementary cumula­tive distribution function (CCDF) as
standard and at an impressively high
speed. FSP furnishes in only 250 ms
the exact CCDF characteristic, aver­age and peak power as well as the
crest factor over 1 million measured
values.

ACPR measurements

Adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR)
measurements, which many mobile
radio standards stipulate for compo­nents and units, are implemented in
FSP by means of automatic test rou­tines. All settings, measurements and
filters required for a selected standard
are activated at a keystroke. In addi­tion to a large number of prepro­grammed standards, the channel
width and channel spacing can be
individually selected. Thanks to the
excellent dynamic range, lowest
phase noise in its class and the RMS
detector, FSP sets the standard in the
medium class also for ACPR measure­ments.

High measurement speed

With 30 measurements/s in manual
operation, minimum sweep time of

2.5 ms and 1 µs zero span as a stan­dard, FSP is ideal for time-critical
applications. The highly selective, fast­sweeping digital filters featuring "ana­log" response allow measurements on
pulsed signals as well as the use of the
built-in frequency counter.

At high span/RBW ratios, measure­ments can be as much as 300 times
faster with the use of the standard FFT
filters. Thanks to the implemented dig­ital filters, channel filters for common
mobile radio standards such as
W-CDMA, cdmaOne, IS-136 or
TETRA can be realized. With FSP the
adjacent-channel power can be meas­ured in the time domain, which
reduces the measurement time and
increases reproducibility. In addition,
the adjacent-channel power due to
switching can be measured.

The standard high-speed GPIB inter­face enables up to 30 measurements
per second including trace data trans­fer of 501 test points with the display
switched off. In the zero span mode,
70 measurements/s are possible. This
characteristic makes FSP by far the fast­est spectrum analyzer on the GPIB
interface. Valuable time can be saved
in production and the throughput
boosted enormously. FSP thus supports
you in getting your products more cost­effective on the market.

0.5 dB total measurement
uncertainty

Probability
density

Measurement uncertainty can be split
into the contribution from the instru­ment and that introduced by the test
setup. With a smaller uncertainty of
the spectrum analyzer, greater toler­ances can be allowed for the test
setup. If the small uncertainty of the
analyzer is utilized to allow for higher
DUT tolerances, the result will be a
marked reduction of manufacturing
rejects – an advantage that pays off
immediately. With a total measure­ment uncertainty of 0.5 dB, FSP undis­putedly ranks top way ahead of other
medium class analyzers.

0.2 dB maximum linearity
uncertainty

All modern mobile radio systems
achieve high spectral efficiency
through precise control of transmitter
output power, among other measures.
The correct functioning of gain control,
which may be as much as -70 dB
depending on the system, is checked
against the nominal value in a large
number of individual measurements.
Featuring a maximum linearity uncer­tainty of only 0.2 dB and fast power
measurement routines especially for
digitally modulated signals, FSP is the
ideal choice wherever the reduction of
the test time and the number of rejects
is of primary importance.

Electronic attenuator for high
production throughput

The optional Electronic Attenuator
FSP-B25 supplements the standard
mechanical attenuator and provides a
wear-and-tear-free setting range of
30 dB in 5 dB steps. The option does
away with frequent switching of the
mechanical attenuator as called for in
high production throughput and so
increases the availability and reliabil­ity of the measurement facility. The
limit of 10
which is typical of mechanical attenu­ators, means a breakdown after
approx. 6 months already at 1.5
switching operations/s whereas Elec­tronic Attenuator FSP-B25 can be
switched any number of times without
degrading the specifications.

The integrated switchable 20 dB
preamplifier allows high-sensitivity
measurements in the useful frequency
range from 10 MHz to 7000 MHz.

switching operations,

LAN interface

With the aid of the optional LAN Inter­face FSP-B16, FSP can be connected
to common networks such as
100Base-T so that functions like file
logging on network drives or docu­mentation of measurement results via
network printer are available. In addi­tion, FSP can be remote-controlled via
LAN. This yields a clear speed advan­tage over the IEC/IEEE bus in particu­lar for the transmission of large data
blocks.

Noise measurements

Thanks to its excellent display linearity,
FSP is especially suited for noise mea­surements. With the aid of the optional
Noise Measurement Software
FSP can be enhanced to a noise test sys­tem offering analyzer-specific advan­tages (see data sheet PD 757.2380)

• Due to the numerous resolution
bandwidths, you have always the
right choice, even for narrowband
DUTs

• In case of doubtful measurement
result you can use the analyzer to

Innovative solutions…

Scalar network analysis in wide
dynamic range and at any
frequency offset

The optional Internal Tracking Genera-

FSP-B9

tor
Generator Control FSP-B10 extend the
FSP spectrum analyzers to scalar net­work analyzer functionality. The gain,
frequency response, insertion and
return loss are measured using a selec­tive method in a wide dynamic range
without any influence from the harmon­ics or spurious of the generator. Internal
Tracking Generator FSP-B9 can be used
in any FSP models and covers the fre­quency range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz.
A frequency offset of ±150 MHz can
be set for measurements on frequency­converting modules. The tracking gen­erator can be broadband-modulated by
an external IQ baseband signal.

up to 3 GHz and External

• Any frequency offset, which is only
limited by the RF generator, for ex­ample up to 40 GHz with Micro­wave Signal Generator SMR

Option

FSP-B10

uses commercial RF
signal generators as its external track­ing source that can be controlled via the
GPIB or a TTL bus. With this option the
functionality of the internal tracking
generator can be utilized:

• Normalization with interpolation

also for reflection measurements
with open and short

• Automatic bandwidth measure-

ment with "n dB down" function

• Tolerance lines with PASS/FAIL

verdict

Moreover, the use of the external track­ing generator offers unique benefits:

• High generator output power, eg

+30 dBm with Signal Generator
SMGL for measurements on highly
attenuating DUTs

The new Spectrum
Analyzers FSP from
Rohde & Schwarz…

• Unparalleled range of functions

• Highest measurement speed

• Maximum in precision

With the new FSP family, the well-known advantages of
high-end Analyzers FSE and FSIQ have been systematically
integrated into the medium class of analyzers. FSP sets the
standard for the medium class regarding the vital criteria of
functionality, measurement speed and accuracy. The use of
innovative techniques such as an highly integrated front-end
and fully digital signal processing in the back-end, together
with ASICs developed by Rohde & Schwarz, has resulted in
a product of top-class specifications and high reliability.

…the new medium class
standard

A wealth of functions…

The FSP option list is short – all important functions and inter­faces are implemented as standard. FSP features future-ori­ented characteristics such as an RMS detector and a CCDF
routine for fast statistical measurements on digitally modu­lated signals not offered by any other medium-class spec­trum analyzer.
