FSH6 RF analyser

Rohde & Schwarz has expanded the frequency range of its handheld spectrum analyser to 6 GHz, thus making it suitable for all WLAN 802.11a applications as well as for general laboratory applications in higher frequency ranges. The R&S FSH6 combines best-of-class technical values with user-friendly menu guidance.

The analyser is available in two versions with a frequency range from 100 kHz to 6 GHz. The integrated tracking generator makes the instrument designed for scalar and vector network analysis, distance-to-fault measurements and one-port cable loss measurements. In many cases, however, the FSH6 can also be used without a tracking generator for installing, optimising and servicing WLAN 802.11a networks, or in general laboratory applications.

The handheld spectrum analyser includes an adjustable preamplifier which enables sensitive measurements in the entire frequency range. If the preamplifier is switched on, the displayed average noise level of the instrument is typically -135 dBm at 100 Hz bandwidth. With a guaranteed measurement accuracy of greater than 1.5 dB, the specifications of the analyser come close to those of a high-end desktop instrument. With vector transmission measurements, the R&S FSH6 achieves a dynamic range of 90 dB.
