The Rohde & Schwarz FSU67 is a high-performance spectrum analyzer spanning 20 Hz to 67 GHz in a single instrument, eliminating the need for external harmonic mixers across its entire frequency range. Direct measurement to 67 GHz combined with support for external mixers to 1 THz enables comprehensive RF characterization for aerospace and defense, microwave development, and 2.5G/3G component production. The analyzer delivers exceptional measurement quality: DANL of –158 dBm at 1 Hz bandwidth, third-order intercept exceeding +25 dBm typical, and total measurement uncertainty below 0.3 dB. Phase noise reaches –160 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 MHz carrier offset, while adjacent channel leakage ratio achieves 84 dB typical with noise correction.
