6 GHz handheld spectrum analyser

September 2004 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

The new Rhode & Schwarz FSH6 is a 6 GHz handheld spectrum analyser with excellent price performance ratio. It is suitable for installation, optimisation and maintenance of WLAN 802.11a networks, general laboratory applications in the higher frequency range, checking and maintenance of the LO frequencies of mobile phones (first LO 3,4 GHz to 3,9 GHz).

The instrument is available with and without a tracking generator. The tracking generator covers the frequency range from 5 MHz to 6 GHz. When the tracking generator is included, the R&S FSH can be used for distance-to-fault measurements, scalar and vector network analysis and 1-port cable loss measurement. Both models include as standard an adjustable preamplifier, which can be used for sensitive measurements in the R&S FSH6's entire frequency range.

A special feature is the high dynamic range for scalar and vector transmission measurement. The typically dynamic range in the scalar mode is 80 dB up to 2,2 GHz. With vector measurement, the R&S FSH6 can even attain a typical 90 dB, allowing it to also be used for the most critical antenna isolation measurements on base stations.

The long battery operating time remains unchanged with the R&S FSH6 at a maximum of four hours, which is important for use in the field. All familiar options such as external power sensors are available. Rhode & Schwarz is represented locally by Protea Communications & Measurement.
