Most “economy” spectrum analyzers sacrifice premium components and superior RF design choices in favor of cost reduction. True RF performance in an economy instrument gives you the confidence of the most accurate measurements within your frequency needs.
TOI
+17 dBm (attenuation = 10 dB)
Phase noise at 100 kHz offset
< −103 dBc (1 Hz) (typ.)
Display

Visualizing important signal details is not just a matter of the RF specifications; the high-resolution display of the R&S®FPC spectrum analyzers allows hardware signal details to be displayed on screen.
Modulation analysis
spectrum analysis and modulation analysis
spectrum analysis and modulation analysis
A wider range of both modulation and spectrum analysis allow the spectrum analyzer to pair more suitably with a larger range of applications. Modulation analysis can allow demodulation of simple modulation formats such as ASK/FSK as well as AM/FM.
Tracking generator
–
tracking generator model with the unique value of three instruments in one
A spectrum analyzer with tracking generator is most useful for scalar transmission measurements, for example on filters. The R&S®FPC1500 comes with an extra: frequency conversion measurements (enabled by the independent type source of the instrument). This is great for RF mixer characterization.
