Caracteristicas
The new Spectrum Analyzer R&S FS315, includes a tracking generator and thus expands the field of application to scalar transmission and reflection measurements.
A special feature of the tracking generator is the user-selectable frequency offset in the range from 0 Hz to 3 GHz, which makes it possible to perform measurements on frequency-converting DUTs such as a frequency mixer. For simple applications, the tracking generator can also be used as a CW signal source with a permanently set frequency.
In addition, the R&S FS315 can determine electric field strength taking into account the antenna factors. Altogether up to ten transducer lists can be generated using the provided software. These lists can be combined by means of transducer sets into a cumulative correction factor for a complete measurement system. Such a system may include, for example, an antenna, various cables and additional amplifiers.

High-quality measurement characteristics
The RF characteristics of the FS300/FS315 are setting new standards in the lower price class. Since the displayed average noise level is typically –115 dBm (300 Hz), even weak signals can be reliably detected. Owing to the wide dynamic range, this is also possible when strong carrier signals are present.
The points in the traces are displayed with an accuracy unrivalled in this price class. This is an essential prerequisite for any measurement task. Resolution bandwidths from 200 Hz to 1 MHz
With 16 digitally implemented resolution bandwidths from 200 Hz to 1 MHz, the FS300 can be optimally adapted to the measurement task at hand. The FS315 additionally covers the range up to 20 MHz. Wide resolution bandwidths for overall measurements ensure short sweep times, whereas narrow bandwidths are ideal for high frequency resolution and a low noise level. The FS300 and FS315 fulfill every requirement in between.
Scalar network analysis
The FS315 with built-in tracking generator is the perfect solution for costefficient testing of the transmission behavior of filters, cables, amplifiers and so forth. Equipped with an additional VSWR bridge, reflection measurements can also be performed. Entering any frequency offset between 0 Hz and 3 GHz allows measurements on frequency-converting DUTs.
With simple applications, the tracking generator can be used as a signal generator with a permanently set frequency.
Locating EMC weak spots
The HZ-15 near-field probes are diagnostic tools used for locating EMC weak spots on printed boards, integrated circuits, cables, shieldings and other trouble spots. The Near-Field Probe Set HZ-15 is adequate for emission measurements from 30 MHz to 3 GHz. The Preamplifier HZ-16 up to 3 GHz, with approximately 20 dB gain and a noise figure of 4.5 dB, increases sensitivity for measurements. In combination with the FS300/FS315, the preamplifier and near-field probe set are a cost-effective means of analyzing and locating sources of interference during development.
Ready for the future – the new instrument family
The FS300 and the FS315 are part of a new family of analyzers and generators for development, service and production applications. The platform on which this family is based – with its compact design, powerful processor system, fast internal bus and ergonomic user interface – provides optimum conditions for professional, favorably priced instruments.
Compact housing with adjustable handle
The FS300 and the FS315 are notable for their compact and robust design. They require only a minimum of space on your desktop or in the rack. Even two instruments of this family can easily be accommodated next to each other in a 19-inch rack. The handle, which can be turned and shifted, can be used to carry the instrument during transport and as a fold-out support to ensure an ideal angle. The handle can be conveniently tilted to the side if it interferes with smooth operation.
Remote control via USB interface
The FS300 and the FS315 can easily be operated from a PC via the USB remote-control interface. Simply connect the PC via hot plug & play, start the supplied software and that’s it. The supplied drivers for Windows 2000/XP make system software integration mere child’s play.
