R&S®FPC Spectrum Analyzer At a glance Outstanding quality and innovation does not have to come with a high price tag. The R&S®FPC spectrum analyzer provides unexpected performance at a budget-friendly price. It is engineered in Germany and designed to the same quality standards as high‑end instruments.
Key facts ❙❙ RF performance engineered in Germany ❙❙ 10.
Spectrum analyzer Investment protection The R&S®FPC is future-proof thanks to the unique Rohde & Schwarz upgrade path. The base unit covers a frequency range from 5 kHz to 1 GHz, with keycode- activated upgrades available. The R&S®FPC can be upgraded by simply entering a soft ware keycode. All options are in place and can be enabled by the user. The unique Rohde & Schwarz upgrade path eliminates the need for additional upgrade calibration.
Easy virtual control Integrated wireless technology eliminates the need for network cables. The R&S®FPC is Wi-Fi-enabled 1) and wirelessly connects to Wi-Fi access points. This renders Ethernet cables, plugs, hubs and installation superfluous. Simple and intuitive controls are game-changing trends in industry. The R&S®FPC connects to R&S®InstrumentView as well as to R&S®MobileView remote control platforms via USB 2), Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Network analyzer One-port vector network analyzer (S11) One-port vector network analysis is used for impedance matching on components or networks, such as antennas or filters. Internal VSWR bridge Due to its unique design utilizing an internal VSWR bridge, the R&S®FPC1500 can perform one-port vector reflec tion measurements.
Smith chart The Smith chart visualizes the complex S11 reflection. In other words, it shows how resistive, capacitive or induc tive a load is across the frequency range. With this infor mation, it is easy to tune network components to optimize impedance matching.

Signal generator Tracking generator RF engineering often requires testing of passive or active RF circuits that do not produce any RF signal on their own, such as amplifiers, filters or even RF cables. A stand alone spectrum analyzer is not sufficient here, a signal generator is required. The R&S®FPC1500 features tracking generator functionality, which makes scalar transmission measurements possible, for example frequency response measurements of RF filters.
Coupled CW mode Coupled CW is a special mode that couples the gener ated CW signal to the displayed center frequency of the R&S®FPC1500. Whenever a measurement requires a CW signal to follow the R&S®FPC1500 center frequency, these adjustments now can be conveniently set in one step.

Optional software applications Receiver mode The R&S®FPC offers the optional R&S®FPC-K43 receiver mode for EMI debugging on circuit boards, integrated circuits or cable shielding. It includes the ability to record two traces as well as displaying a logarithmic scale of the frequency axis. The R&S®FPC-B22 preamplifier compen sates for coupling loss of probes and increases sensitivity to detect small interfering signals.
Advanced measurements The R&S®FPC-K55 option adds functions for measuring channel power, occupied bandwidth, harmonic distortion, time domain power within a time division multiple access (TDMA) timeslot, AM modulation depth and third-order intercept (TOI). It even provides a spectrogram display to gain easy insight into spectrum occupancy or time varying signals.
