The Rohde & Schwarz FSVA13 is a high-performance signal and spectrum analyzer engineered for RF characterization across 10 Hz to 13.6 GHz. It delivers the dynamic range and phase noise performance required for cellular, LTE, satellite, radar, and component testing. The instrument combines a standard 28 MHz analysis bandwidth (expandable to 160 MHz) with exceptional sensitivity and linearity, enabling precise spectral measurements and signal demodulation. An intuitive touchscreen interface streamlines operation across development, production, installation, and field-service workflows.
