Signal analysis and high-end spectrum analysis in one instrument

The R&S®FSQ is the solution for all development and production measurement tasks. It offers very low phase noise, unsurpassed low residual EVM, a wide dynamic range and above-average accuracy, making it the ideal high-end measuring instrument for development applications, where tolerances and limit values must often be lower than defined in a standard.

The FSQ combines the outstanding spectrum analyzer features and functions of the ¸FSU with those of a wideband signal analyzer. Due to its large analysis bandwidth of up to 120 MHz (R&S®FSQ‑B72), the R&S®FSQ is the right instrument for measuring broadband signals (e.g. WLAN, IEEE802.11n/ac, 3GPP LTE or 3GPP WCDMA multicarrier signals), for determining amplitude statistics with the CCDF measurement and for measuring modulation accuracy or code domain power. Equipped with the R&S®FSQ‑B71 option, the R&S®FSQ can analyze signals in the analog baseband, and even in the digital baseband if the R&S®FSQ‑B17 option is used.

Excellent RF ­performance for demanding applications

Outstanding RF features

The dynamic range performance of a spectrum analyzer is mainly defined by three parameters:
❙ Noise level
❙ Intermodulation performance (TOI)
❙ Phase noise

The R&S®FSQ excels in all of these three categories. Its wide dynamic range comes in handy when solving difficult measurement problems.

The inherent noise level of the R&S®FSQ can be reduced by using noise correction. The instrument measures its own noise in the active operating mode, and then uses signal processing to remove the noise from the trace, enabling measurement of weak signals close to the thermal noise.

 Measurement of nonharmonics (spurious) on base station signals without an additional filter is made possible by the extremely low phase noise, particularly far away from the carrier.

The high harmonic second-order intercept point means optimum dynamic range for multichannel cable TV measurements.

For 3GPP adjacent-channel power measurements, a figure of 84 dB ACLR with noise correction allows very good adjacent-channel power ratios to be verified and demonstrated very simply and with high accuracy. A higher-performance NodeB can therefore be built and tested.

Signal and spectrum analysis in a single instrument

Signal analysis with up to 120 MHz bandwidth

The R&S®FSQ combines dedicated processing hardware and the outstanding spectrum analyzer features and function of the R&S®FSU with a demodulation and analysis bandwidth that has been enhanced to 120 MHz.

Best signal fidelity for modulation analysis

The R&S®FSQ determines the linear distortion in the RF and IF paths with the aid of the built-in calibration source and corrects such distortion online using a compensation filter. Moreover, the bandwidth-limiting YIG filter can be switched off in the microwave range at carrier frequencies greater than 3.6 GHz to ensure that even the smallest modulation errors can be measured with high accuracy.

The I/Q data can be transferred to a process controller via either the IEC/IEEE bus interface or the factory-installed LAN interface and then imported into programs such as MATLAB® for further analysis.

Ready for analysis of multistandard, multicarrier transmitters

Future transmission methods in mobile radio and related fields call for wider transmission bandwidths to handle increasing data throughput. Even today multiple carriers of a GSM or 3GPP base station are often transmitted in common power output stages. This reduces the technical effort and costs on the one hand, but increases the bandwidth to be transmitted on the other.
