The R&S FSWP section noise analyzer and VCO tester from Rohde & Schwarz, the trade commonplace for section noise testing, has simply acquired a significant efficiency replace. It’s the optimum check resolution for radar functions and when creating and manufacturing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs and VCOs. With the brand new possibility R&S FSWP-B56G, Rohde & Schwarz has prolonged the frequency vary for absolute section noise measurements from 50 GHz as much as 56 GHz. Achieved just by pushing a button, no exterior converter is required. These frequencies are wanted for satellite tv for pc communication and for jitter measurements in high-speed digital functions similar to ultra-fast LAN IEEE 802.3dj or CEI-224G (Widespread Electrical I/O).
Rushing up measurements with exterior high-end sign sources
As well as, the up to date R&S FSWP now helps exterior sign sources as native oscillators for absolute section noise measurements as much as 56 GHz. Utilizing a high-end sign supply allows customers to get their outcomes a lot quicker, as a result of just a few cross correlations are wanted to measure the section noise of the DUT, similar to one other high-end oscillator. Relying on the standard of the supply, customers can measure as much as 1000 instances quicker in comparison with the interior supply. The R&S FSWP gives tuning outputs to lock the sign supply frequencies used as native oscillators to the DUT frequency. On this mode, customers can measure with one or two exterior oscillators to get the total benefit utilizing cross-correlation methods. Alternatively, they will use this mode to measure two equivalent sources in opposition to one another (2 DUT technique) and proper the outcomes by 3 dB.
Additive and residual section noise measurements as much as 56 GHz
Geared up with R&S FSWP-B56G possibility, the instrument can also be helpful for additive and residual section noise measurements as much as 56 GHz with a frequency offset of 40 MHz on amplifiers or different parts. The frequency vary of the interior supply for this software is now prolonged to 50 GHz, or as much as 54 GHz with the R&S FSWP-B56G possibility. With exterior sources customers can measure as much as 56 GHz.
As well as, the R&S FSWP incorporates a new marker perform “NOISE FIGURE MARKER”. Customers can measure the noise determine of an amplifier simply, simply connecting it between the output of the sign supply and enter of the R&S FSWP. This simple new technique for measuring the small sign noise determine of amplifiers is predicated simply on the section demodulation similar because the section noise measurement. Because the R&S FSWP is supplied with a sign and spectrum analyzer, it delivers each the Y-factor measurement primarily based on noise sources with a calibrated ENR within the spectrum analyzer in addition to the brand new noise determine measurement primarily based on demodulation within the section noise tester.
