FSW8 Rohde & Schwarz Signal and Spectrum Analyzer, 2 Hz - 8 GHz

Overview and Features

 

The high performance Rohde & Schwarz (R&S) FSW8 Signal and Spectrum Analyzer is designed for convenience, accuracy and speed. Its unique touchscreen, straightforward, multiview result display, and optimized user guidance makes operation of the R&S FSW8 Analyzer efficient and convenient. With its unmatched phase noise, unparalleled dynamic range for spurious measurements, and high sensitivity even at low frequences, the R&S FSW8 guarantees high accuracy. Efficient measurement rates, rapid sweep times, quick switchover between instrument setups, makes operation fast and easy.
