Handheld Spectrum Analyzer 300 kHz to 8 GHz with Preamplifier, Tracking Generator, and VSWR bridge with Bias Tee

The new R&S FSH4/8 builds upon successes of FSH3/6/18 with network operators, TV broadcast operators, and military to offer an indispensable tool for field users who need an efficient measuring instrument. The new FSH4/8 improved upon RF performance, CPU speed, display size, interfaces for memory expansion slot to further support a very wide range of applications, and truly make it a mobile precise measurement instrument. Depending upon model and installed options, it serves as a power meter, cable and antenna tester, or a two-part vector network analyzer. With the new and improved GUI and dedicated function keys, it provides better operation to field users. Field users can efficiently use and effectively address the following applications using the new R&S FSH4/8: o Service & Maintenance on transmitter stations o Cable & Antenna tests o EMF measurements o EMI precompliance o Signal monitoring o Interference hunting o Precise power measurements Key facts o Frequency range from 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz or 8 GHz o High sensitivity (<-141dBm(1Hz), with preamplifier<-161 dBm (1 Hz )) o Low measurement uncertainty (<1 dB) o Internal tracking generator and VSWR bridge with built-in DC voltage supply (bias) o Two-port network analyzer o Directional power measurements up to 4 GHz under operating conditions o Easy-to-replace Li-ion battery for up to 4.5 h of operation o Rugged, splash-proof housing for rough work in the field o Easy handling due to low weight (3 kg with battery) and easy-to-reach function keys o Saving of measurement results on SD card o LAN and USB interface for remote control and transfer of measurement data o R&S FSH4View software for simple documentation of measurement results Key Features o Ease of use o Ruggedized, yet mobile form factor o Accessories for field users o Improved RF performances o Easy to replace Li-Ion battery pack with an external charger o Internal VSWR bridge to reduce overall size and weight, making it easy to handle o SD memory expansion slot to store measurements, results and installation settings o USB and LAN interfaces supporting remote control functions and ease of firmware updates o Faster CPU to provide quicker display updates o Larger 6.5o VGA display allowing split screen mode New Features o Improved RF Performance o up to 16 dB more sensitivity, 20 dB better phase noise @10 kHz offset o up to 0.5 dB better measurement accuracy o Internal VSWR Bridge with two Bias-Tees o avoids repeatedly mounting and dismounting the VSWR bridge o reduced total size, comfortable handling for the field use o power supply of active components like tower mounted amplifiers (TMA) o 2-Port Vector Network Analyzer o Magnitude and phase measurement in forward and reverse direction o Measurement of all four S-parameters S11, S21, S12 S22 o Easy exchangeable Li-Ion battery o extension of the battery operating time o state-of-the-art battery technology o (high capacity at a low weight) o battery operating time up to 3 h (4 Ah)/ 4.5h (6 Ah) o External battery charger available o SD-memory card slot o easy memory extension via ordinary SD-card o storing of thousands measurement results and instrument settings o easy handling of test results in security areas o USB/LAN interfaces o remote control via USB/LAN o easy firmware update via LAN or USB o Large 6.5 o color display with 640 x 480 VGA resolution o improved resolution for distance to fault o allows split screen mode o Faster CPU o automatic scrambling code detection approx. 5 times faster than FSH3 o faster display update rate -> 15/s (FSH: 8/s) o Display of two traces o measurement with different detectors o Improved operating concept o additional hard and soft keys leads to a more clear menu structure o improved multi-marker operation o GPS Receiver Option (planned) o Support of external GPS-Receiver o For documentation of the current location o Improvement of the internal reverence frequency o Built-in loudspeaker o AM/FM AF- demodulation without headphone o All in- and output connectors with covers o Protection against dirt, dust and water
