The R&S®FSW-K30 option expands the FSW capabilities of the spectrum analyzer by adding measurement functionality otherwise only provided by special noise measurement analyzers.
The following parameters can be measured at a specified frequency or in a selectable frequency range:
- Noise figure in dB
- Noise temperature in K
- Gain in dB
The R&S®FSW-K30 can perform a wider variety of RF measurements than is possible with conventional noise measurement systems. The R&S®FSW supports the measurement of harmonics, intermodulation, spurious responses and many other RF-relevant criteria (for measurements on amplifiers and on frequency-converting DUTs, e.g. low noise converters). R&S®FSW-K30 Noise figure and gain measurements are based on Y-factor method.
Measurement Parameters:
- Noise figure
- Noise temperature
- Gain
Measurement Functions:
- Y factor
- Analyzer noise correction (second stage correction)
- Measurements on frequency-converting DUTs
- Control of a generator as an LO in frequency-converting measurements
- SSB and DSB
