The Rohde & Schwarz FSP38 is a high-performance spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 40 GHz with exceptional sensitivity and dynamic range for RF and microwave measurements. It delivers 0.01 Hz frequency resolution, a displayed average noise level of –155 dBm (1 Hz BW), and approximately 100 dB dynamic range using RMS detection. The instrument combines multiple detector types—RMS, Quasi-peak, Peak, and Sample—with flexible resolution bandwidth options spanning 1 Hz to 10 MHz, making it ideal for signal analysis, interference detection, and component characterization across defense, aerospace, telecommunications, and laboratory environments.
