R&S®FPS SIGNAL AND SPECTRUM ANALYZER Compact and fast for automated tests Product Brochure Version 08.00

AT A GLANCE The R&S®FPS is an exceptionally fast and compact signal and spectrum analyzer for performance oriented users. In production and in monitoring systems, only 2 HU of rack space are required – a reduction of 50 % compared with traditional instruments. The R&S®FPS excels with its high measurement speed, 160 MHz signal analysis bandwidth and wide range of analysis packages for analog modulation methods and wireless/wideband communications standards. It is up to five times faster than comparable signal and spectrum analyzers and provides measurement routines optimized for speed and...

HIGH THROUGHPUT FOR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION The R&S®FPS signal and spectrum analyzer significantly reduces the testing time and expense in a production environment. It performs everything from simple measurements to complex modulation analyses quickly, reliably and with low measurement uncertainty. Fast access to I/Q data with a wide bandwidth allows the speedy execution of complex evaluation routines in an external computer and the use of the R&S®FPS as a fast digitizer with a wide dynamic range for fast, flexible and efficient production. Up to five times faster than other signal and...

Fast and accurate measurement results Customized test routines for production applications In production tests, the repeatability of the measurement results are of highest importance. The R&S®FPS measures the power of a WCDMA signal with a standard deviation of < 0.01 dB and sends the results to the controller PC in less than 15 ms, which is five times faster than competitor instruments. The R&S®FPS also offers a number of functions that speed up test routines, shorten alignment and measurement time and increase the overall throughput: ► Frequency list mode: fast measurement on up to 300...

Numerous interfaces that can be integrated into any environment The R&S®FPS supports all standard interfaces. It communicates with other measuring instruments and the controller PC via GPIB, LAN (Gigabit Ethernet) or USB. SCPI commands can be issued directly without going through a script interpreter. This triples the speed of measurement tasks compared with communicating via SCPI. All R&S®FPS ports are located on the rear panel, making it ideal for integration into rack systems.

READY FOR TOMORROW’S STANDARDS Featuring a signal analysis bandwidth of up to 160 MHz, the R&S®FPS is a sound investment, ready for the future. The R&S®FPS has what is needed to analyze and demodulate existing and future communications standards. Fully digital backend ensures high measurement accuracy and excellent repeatability ► 28 MHz signal analysis bandwidth with base unit; optionally 40 MHz and 160 MHz ► 200 Msample signal memory ► High measurement accuracy and good repeatability with digitally implemented analysis filters 160 MHz signal analysis bandwidth, suitable for WLAN...
