Rohde & Schwarz FSV30 9KHz – 30GHz Spectrum Analyzer

The Rohde & Schwarz FSV30 is a spectrum analyzer spanning 9 kHz to 30 GHz, delivering measurement speed and signal characterization precision across RF and microwave domains. Built for engineers and system integrators in R&D, production testing, and quality assurance, the FSV30 combines exceptional dynamic range - 85 dB with preamplifier at 1 MHz RBW - with noise floor performance of -163 dBm and phase noise of -113 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. Frequency resolution reaches 0.1 Hz, supported by adjustable resolution bandwidth from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz and optional 400 MHz IF bandwidth.
