Rohde & Schwarz FSP40 Spectrum Analyzer
The Rohde & Schwarz FSP40 Spectrum Analyzer is a state-of-the-art, wideband, and exceptionally sensitive receiver designed for demanding measurement tasks. Utilizing the super-heterodyne principle, it effectively converts high-frequency signals, typically ranging into the tens of GHz, into quantifiable measurements. Its sophisticated architecture allows for slow sweeping through a designated range of frequencies, subsequently translating the selected frequency to a measurable DC level, which is displayed on the analyzer's CRT screen. The clear graphical representation shows the received signal strength (y-axis) plotted against frequency (x-axis), providing users with an intuitive and informative view of signal analysis.
