Spectrum analyser enhanced for EVM measurements
Error vector magnitude (EVM) is one of the main parameters to characterise the performance of a digital transmitter or receiver, and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyser from Rohde & Schwarz has been designated for high-end measurements requiring extreme precision.
With the new Enhanced Dynamic Front End, the R&S FSW will continue to offer advanced and highest quality signal and spectrum analysis.
EVM measurements are currently in high demand for 5G base station and component development at FR2 frequencies as well as for high frequency satellite applications.
The latest enhancements to the modified front end of the spectrum analyser, as well as the microwave hardware optimised for frequencies above 26 GHz, provide excellent accuracy.
The instruments has continuously evolved since its launch. With frequency, bandwidth, modulation, sensitivity, and streaming requirements becoming more demanding, Rohde & Schwarz has been developing the R&S FSW hardware and software over the years to meet and exceed the changing performance needs.
Featuring a wide internal analysis bandwidth which allows the characterization of wideband components and communications systems, the R&S analyser applications simplify and speed up in-depth analysis of the physical layer, allowing testing at higher frequencies and wider measurement bandwidths.
Users can cover all the physical layer options specified in the standard with the best RF performance on the market.
With the new R&S FSW-B24U Enhanced Dynamic Front End (EDFE) upgrade of the R&S FSW, Rohde & Schwarz addresses the challenging requirements for EVM performance in the mmWave range.
Newly produced R&S FSW43, R&S FSW50 and R&S FSW67 models now ship with the enhancements as standard.
The R&S FSW-B24U can also be ordered as an upgrade to many R&S FSW signal and spectrum analysers already in use.
