The Rohde & Schwarz FSIQ3 is a signal analyzer combining spectrum analysis, vector signal analysis, and time-domain measurement in a single instrument. Designed for 3G mobile radio development and production, it delivers high measurement speed alongside versatile test routines for signal characterization across frequency, time, and modulation domains. The integrated broadband vector signal analyzer supports all major mobile radio standards with symbol rates up to 6.4 Msymbol/s, enabling detailed analysis of I/Q signals, magnitude and phase, vector and constellation diagrams, and modulation error evaluation via spreadsheet output.
