Spectrum Analyzer Sets Performance And Feature Benchmarks September 27, 2007
Within its class, the FSG spectrum analyzer is said to achieve benchmark levels of performance and feature integration. The instrument operates from 9 kHz to 8 GHz or 13.6 GHz with one-button selection of standards-compliant measurements for all wireless standards including fixed and mobile WiMAX. It is available in two models: the FSG8 (9 kHz to 8 GHz) and the FSG13 (9 kHz to 13.6 GHz). Both rely on a Windows XP-based architecture and support GSM, WCDMA, CDMA20001xRTT, TD-SCDMA, HSPA, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, and fixed and mobile WiMAX standards. Other features include a demodulation bandwidth of 28 MHz, an I/Q memory of 4 Msamples, a dynamic range of 170 dB from the instruments' 1-dB compression point to its displayed average noise level of -145 dBm (10 Hz), phase noise at a 640-MHz carrier frequency of -120 dBc/Hz (10-kHz offset) and -138 dBc/Hz (1-MHz offset), RF output level of +25 dBm, and a 1-dB-compression point of +13 dBm.
