The Rohde & Schwarz FSV7 is a high-performance spectrum analyzer engineered for RF and microwave signal characterization across research, development, and manufacturing environments. Operating from 10 Hz to 7 GHz, the FSV7 delivers exceptional dynamic range, advanced modulation analysis, and flexible measurement capabilities. Its intuitive interface and comprehensive triggering options enable rapid signal acquisition and detailed analysis. The instrument supports analog demodulation (AM, FM) and digital modulation formats (ASK, FSK, PSK, QAM), with power measurements including channel power, adjacent channel power, occupied bandwidth, and burst analysis. Resolution bandwidth spans 1 Hz to 10 MHz, while video bandwidth extends from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz. Typical displayed average noise level reaches -170 dBm with optional preamplifier. Phase noise performance is -110 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (1 GHz). The instrument offers up to 1,000,001 measurement points with sweep times from 1 ms to 1000 s. Multiple interfaces including RF/IF connectors (Type N, 50 Ohm), 10 MHz reference (BNC), external trigger, USB, LAN Ethernet, GPIB, and VGA output enable integration into automated test systems and remote operation via SCPI control.
