The Rohde & Schwarz FPL1026 is a benchtop spectrum analyzer delivering RF signal analysis across 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz. Built for engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and field service, it combines high performance with intuitive operation. The instrument features a 10.1-inch multi-touch display (1280 × 800 pixels) with smartphone-like gesture controls for rapid measurement setup and navigation. A compact design with optional battery pack enables portable deployment without sacrificing measurement integrity.
