Rohde & Schwarz has launched the R&S FSW85 signal and spectrum analyser that provides 5 GHz analysis bandwidth, which is required for analysing wideband signals such as automotive radar frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) chirp signals, IEEE 802.11ay signals and 5G waveform candidates.
The analyser is equipped with a new hardware option, the new R&S FSW-B5000, in combination with the R&S RTO2064 digital oscilloscope, which provides equalised 5 GHz signal analysis bandwidth.
The amplitude and phase response of the R&S FSW85 along with the R&S FSW-B5000 are fully characterised across the entire frequency range. The amplitude and phase measurement accuracy are guaranteed throughout the measurement bandwidth. The R&S FSW-B5000 supports centre frequencies between 9.5 GHz and 90 GHz. For frequencies above 85 GHz, the R&S FSW85 needs to be equipped with the R&S FSW-B90G option, which extends the frequency range up to 90 GHz.
The transient and pulse measurement applications of the R&S FSW allow detailed wideband analysis of FMCW chirp signals, as well as hopped and pulsed radar signals required for automotive radar applications. The R&S FSW-B5000 option also makes it possible to capture IEEE 802.11ay wideband signals for post-processing and to perform measurements on waveform candidates for future 5G standards.
