Rohde & Schwarz reshapes mid-range market with new 44 GHz FPL spectrum analyzer and 40 MHz real-time analysis

Rohde & Schwarz reshapes mid-range market with new 44 GHz FPL spectrum analyzer and 40 MHz real-time analysis Rohde & Schwarz expands its portfolio of mid-range instruments with the launch of the R&S FPL1044 spectrum analyzer and a new 40 MHz real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA) option for the entire FPL family. The R&S FPL1044 is an industry first, delivering high-frequency performance up to 44 GHz at a price point previously unattainable in the market. The universal RTSA option empowers FPL users with powerful real-time analysis capabilities.

The R&S FPL1044 with the new RTSA option makes 40 MHz real-time frequency analysis available up to 44 GHz.

The new R&S FPL1044 from Rohde & Schwarz offers a frequency range of 10 Hz to 44 GHz. It is the first and only spectrum analyzer in this price range on the market to reach the 44 GHz milestone, drastically lowering the entry barrier for high-frequency testing.

Setting itself apart within the FPL family, the FPL1044 is the only model to offer a DC coupling option, expanding the measurable frequency range starting from as low as 10 Hz. This feature ensures maximum versatility for analyzing signals from extremely low frequencies up to the critical Ka-band. The analyzer maintains the compact, lightweight dimensions and robust design of the FPL family, ensuring portability and efficient use of bench space. It features a standard 2.92 mm male input connector for reliable high-frequency measurements.

Launching simultaneously with the R&S FPL1044 is the new R&S FPL1-K41R 40 MHz real-time spectrum analysis option. This upgrade is compatible with all frequency variants of the FPL family, empowering users across the entire product line with the ability to capture and analyze even shortest events with a Probability of Intercept (POI) time as low as 4.2 s.

For the new R&S FPL1044, this means 40 MHz real-time frequency analysis is now available up to 44 GHz, providing a complete, affordable solution for the challenging world of high-frequency signal monitoring and component testing.

Targeting critical high-frequency applications

The frequency range of 26.5 GHz to 44 GHz is vital for the aerospace & defense industry, as well as the components industry and for research. It is used for satellite links, radar, radio navigation, earth observation and radio astronomy. Key applications for the R&S FPL1044 are testing satellite and radar systems and components, production quality control of high-frequency components (e.g., filters, amplifiers, traveling-wave tubes) as well as on-site repair and maintenance.
