Features

The Spectrum Analyzers ¸FSP are
outstanding for their innovative measure­ments and a host of standard functions.

Instead of a wide choice of options, the
¸FSP offers as standard all the func­tions and interfaces expected 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 filters and FFT

◆ Quasi-peak detector and EMI

bandwidths

RS-232-C, LAN (option), USB

◆ 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 do-

main: minimum sweep time 1 µs

◆ Gated sweep for measurements on

TDMA signals

In addition, the ¸FSP features the fol­lowing unique attributes as standard:

◆ RMS detector for fast and reproduc-

ible power measurements on digitally
modulated signals in frequency and
time domain

◆ Statistical measurement functions for

determining crest factor and CCDF
(complementary cumulative distribu­tion function)

Featuring such a wealth of functions, the
¸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 55 measurements/s on GPIB

interface including trace transfer of
501 binary data

◆ 80 measurements/s on GPIB interface

in zero span mode including trace
transfer of 501 binary data

◆ Minimum sweep time of 2.5 ms

2 Spectrum Analyzer ¸FSP

Performance

◆ 1 µs time domain measurements

◆

Unique fast ACP mode for high-speed
ACPR measurements in time domain
using the standard-compliant test
filters

◆

List mode for fast, selective power
measurements

With 100 measurements/s in manual
operation and digital filters with a sweep
time 2.5 times faster than comparable
analog filters, the ¸FSP will also
prove beneficial in the day-to-day tasks of
product development.

Modern communication systems should
provide optimum spectral efficiency at
high data rates. For the 3rd generation of
CDMA mobile radio systems currently
under development, this is achieved
through functions such as among other
things, by high-precision power control.

The ¸FSP is the ideal partner in
development and production, featuring
low uncertainty in level measurement, 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
WCDMA 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 owing to a maximum
bandwidth deviation of 3%.

Spectrum Analyzer ¸FSP 3

High-end characteristics …

Rohde&Schwarz ASICs

Top-class performance as offered by the
¸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 in silicon" and are
thus faster than conven­tional solutions.

Logarithmic amplifier

The ¸FSP comes equipped with digi­tal resolution filters between 10 Hz and
100 kHz featuring high selectivity and
very low bandwidth deviation. The filters
have an extremely low logarithmic level
deviation of <0.2 dB in the range 0 dB to
–70 dB. As they are implemented as ASIC
functions, their great precision is attained
without any reduction in measurement
speed.

furnishes 10
250 ms, thus enabling extremely accurate
statistical analysis even of rarely occur­ring signal peaks.

This analysis function, which is becoming
more and more important, has been
implemented for the first time in the
Spectrum Analyzer ¸FSP as a fast
and cost-effective solution based on
ASICs.

single values in only

RMS detector

The RMS detector – a unique feature in
all current Rohde&Schwarz spectrum
analyzers – quickly yields stable and
reproducible results even for complex sig­nals such as CDMA. By performing a very
large number of linear single measure­ments, followed by power integration,
the detector avoids the measurement
error inherent in conventional analyzers
that arises from the averaging of the log
video signal. The RMS detector of the
¸FSP measures all modern communi­cation signals with unparalleled accuracy
and speed.

4 Spectrum Analyzer ¸FSP

CCDF

The complementary cumula­tive distribution function (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. The ¸FSP with
its dedicated CCDF measurement routine

The platform

Fit for the future

Ergonomics and design

Excellent specifications such as those of
the ¸FSP require a high-grade and
service-friendly platform. All the modules
are optimally shielded and easy to
exchange, and are accommodated in a
lightweight but stable frame. A powerful
low-noise 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) is offered with
the ¸FSP.

Owing to its modular design, the
¸FSP is optimally equipped to handle
all present and future tasks. The design
takes into account both hardware and
firmware extensions to safeguard your
investment far into the future. Thus, you
can also rely on your ¸FSP to meet all
requirements that will arise in the years
to come.

The ¸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 even
complex measurement tasks to be
performed easily. Parameters such as fre­quency and amplitude are entered by
means of dedicated hardkeys and unit
keys.

Innovative solutions …

Optimum dynamic range

Featuring the lowest displayed average
noise level in its class (DANL <−145 dBm
at 10 Hz RBW), the ¸FSP measures
even small signals accurately without
using preamplifiers that reduce dynamic
range. Together with the high intercept
point, this yields an intermodulation-free
range of typ. 100 dB – yet another record
among medium-class analyzers.

Ultra-low measurement uncertainty

In the vital frequency range below 3 GHz,
the ¸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 may
greater tolerances are possible for DUTs.

RMS detector

The unique RMS detector measures mod­ern, noise-like communication signals
with optimal repeatability and stability.
As there are neither correction factors nor
the typical errors caused by averaging of
logarithmic trace data, the correct aver­age power is displayed with high stability
for all signal types – almost like in mea­surements with a thermal power meter.

Noise figure measurements

Owing to its excellent display linearity, the
¸FSP is also ideal for noise figure mea­surements. The optional Noise Measure­ment Software ¸FS-K30 enhances the
¸FSP to form a noise measurement
system offering analyzer-specific advan­tages (see data sheet PD 0758.0839.32).

PHN

The low phase noise of the ¸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). The ¸FSP is thus
optimally equipped for performing spec­tral analysis and ACPR measurements on
narrowband systems such as IS136 or
PDC as well as on wideband systems
such as IS95 or WCDMA. Phase Noise
Measurement Software ¸FS-K4
enhances the Spectrum Analyzer
¸FSP to form a phase noise tester.

CCDF analysis

The ¸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.
The ¸FSP furnishes in only 250 ms
the exact CCDF characteristic, average
and peak power as well as the crest fac­tor covering 1 million measured values.

ACPR measurements

Preprogrammed
standards for ACP
measurements.

Adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR)
measurements, which many mobile radio
standards stipulate for components and
devices, are implemented in the
¸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.
Owing to the excellent dynamic range,
lowest phase noise in its class and the
RMS detector, the ¸FSP sets the
standard in the medium class also for
ACPR measurements.

With 100 measurements/s in manual
operation, a minimum sweep time of

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

The ¸FSP comes standard with dif­ferent filter types for digital resolution
bandwidths up to 100 kHz such as Gauss­ian filter, raised root cosine (RRC) filter
and steep-sided channel filters. Up to a
resolution bandwidth of 30 kHz, fast Fou­rier transform (FFT) is available in addi­tion. In the analyzer
mode, the Gaussian
filters have the
advantage of high
sweep speed plus
excellent resolution. At high span/RBW
ratios, measurements using FFT can be as
much as 300 times faster than measure­ments with digital filters.

Measurement of adjacent-channel power in time domain: FAST ACP.

Some mobile radio standards such as
TETRA and IS136 require RRC filters for
power measurement, a type of filter
already included in the ¸FSP. In
addition, the ¸FSP provides channel
filters for other analog and digital
methods, e.g. cdmaOne, AM/FM radio
and ETS 300 113. Adjacent-channel
power due to switching can also be mea­sured using the channel filters. For the
common mobile radio standards, the
¸FSP is equipped with test routines
(fast ACP) that allow the adjacent-chan­nel power in the time domain to be deter­mined, which reduces measurement time
and increases reproducibility.

55 measurements per second on GPIB interface

The high-speed GPIB interface enables
up to 55 measurements/s including trace
data transfer of 501 test points with the
display switched off. In the zero span
mode, 80 measurements/s are possible.
This characteristic makes the ¸FSP
by far the fastest spectrum analyzer on
the GPIB interface. Valuable time can be
saved in production, boosting throughput
enormously. The ¸FSP thus supports
you in getting your products more cost­effective on the market.

Featuring a maximum linearity uncer­tainty of only 0.2 dB and fast power mea­surement routines especially for digitally
modulated signals, the ¸FSP is the
ideal choice wherever the reduction of
the test time and the number of rejects is
of primary importance.

0.5 dB total measurement uncertainty

Measurement uncertainty can be split
into the part from the instrument and that
introduced by the test setup. With lower
uncertainty of the spectrum analyzer,
greater tolerances can be allowed for the
test setup. If the lower 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, the ¸FSP undisputedly ranks
at the top, way ahead of other medium­class analyzers.

Measurement routines TOI, OBW …

The ¸FSP offers fast routines for a
multitude of typical measurement tasks,
which make result postprocessing super­fluous by supplying the desired data
directly:

◆ Determination of TOI

◆ Occupied bandwidth (OBW)

◆ Burst power with peak, average and

RMS indication as well as standard
deviation

◆ Modulation depth of AM signals

◆ Phase noise

◆ Bandwidth marker

Of course these functions can also be
used via the fast GPIB interface.

List mode

In the List mode, the user only has to
enter a few IEC/IEEE bus commands to
perform measurements on up to 100 fre­quencies with different instrument set­ups in each case. A single command con­figures the list, and frequency, band­widths, measurement time, reference
level and RF attenuation can be set inde­pendently of each other. The
SENSE:LIST:POWER:RESULT? query, for
example, simultaneously transfers all
measurement results to the process con­troller after the list has been processed.
This feature reduces the time required for
transfer via the IEC/IEEE bus. In conjunc­tion with the very high measurement
speed of the ¸FSP, it also allows the
generation of time-saving test routines in
production applications.

The optional Trigger Port ¸FSP-B28
allows idle times between the different
settings to be minimized.

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 required for high through­put in production and so increases the
availability and reliability of the measure­ment equipment. For example, the limit of

7

10

switching operations, which is typical
of mechanical attenuators, already means
a breakdown after approx. 6 months at 1.5
switching operations/s whereas the
Electronic Attenuator ¸FSP-B25 can
be switched any number of times without
impairing the specifications.

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

LAN interface

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

859x/8566-compatible IEC/IEEE bus command set

In many applications, existing test soft­ware is to be used in automatic test sys­tems alongside new devices. For this rea­son, the ¸FSP comes standard with
an IEC/IEEE bus command set that is
compatible not only with the ¸FSEx/
FSIQ family but also with the spectrum
analyzers of the 859x/8566 series.

Thus importance was placed on maxi­mum compatibility in order to minimize
the necessity for changes.

◆ Approx. 175 commands in IEEE488-2

format (incl. CF, AT, ST)

◆ The most important commands in

IEEE 488-1 format (8566A, for
exclusive use only)

◆ Selectable presets

◆ Selectable trace format

8560E to 8565E, 8566A/B, 8568A/B and
8594E are supported. The IEC/IEEE bus
commands in IEEE488-2 format can be
used together with the ¸FSP com­mand set, making it possible to enhance
and complete available software by using
the innovative instrument functions of the
¸FSP (such as list mode, channel fil­ters) without having to redesign the test
software.

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

The optional Internal Tracking Generator
¸FSP-B9 up to 3 GHz and External
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. The Inter­nal Tracking Generator ¸FSP-B9 can
be used in all ¸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
frequency-converting modules. The track­ing generator can be broadband-modu­lated by an external I/Q baseband signal.

The ¸FSP-B10 option 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 measurement

with "n dB down" function

◆ Tolerance lines with PASS/FAIL as-

sessment

The ¸FSP-B6 option makes the
Spectrum Analyzers ¸FSP suitable for
analog TV measurement applications and
provides a settable RF level trigger for
measurements on pulsed RF signals that
are used in TDMA transmission systems.
