Rohde & Schwarz FPL Series - FPL1026-P1 Spectrum Analyzer Bundle
In an RF lab, the R&S FPL Series family is as indispensable as an oscilloscope or multimeter. It is a single instrument for many measurement tasks. It can be used for spectrum analysis along with highly accurate power measurements for power sensors and analysis of analog and digitally modulated signals.
Key facts:
Frequency range 5 kHz to 26.5 GHz
SSB phase noise: typ. –108 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 kHz
DANL with preamplifier: typ. –163 dBm from 10 MHz to 2 GHz
Lightweight with small footprint
40 MHz analysis bandwidth (option)


Bundle Includes:
FPL1026 Spectrum Analyzer
FPL1-B4-OCXO High-Precision Reference Frequency: This option generates a 10 MHz reference signal with a very precise frequency. If installed and if no external signal is used, this signal is used as an internal reference. It can also be used to synchronize other connected devices via the Ref. Out 10 MHz connector.
FPL1-B5 Additional Interfaces: This option adds interfaces for Video out, IF out, noise source control, AUX port, and a connector for NRP power sensors.
FPL1-B22 RF Preamplifier: This option extends the sensitivity level. High sensitivity and low phase noise performance allow even small signals next to the carrier to be analyzed.
FPL1-B25-1 dB steps for electronic attenuator: : An attenuation step size of 1 dB allows measurements at the instrument’s maximum dynamic range.
One instrument for multiple applications
You can use the R&S FPL Series Spectrum Analyzer for spectral measurements, for highly accurate power measurements with power sensors and for analyzing analog and digitally modulated signals. The FPL Series supports the most common spectrum measurements like frequency sweep and zero span, ACLR, C/N, C/N0, OBW, harmonic distortion, TOI and many marker functions. For power measurements with power sensors, use option FPL1-K9. For analog demodulation, option FPL1-K7 is available. For the analysis of digitally modulated signals, the FPL Series can be used with the VSE Vector Signal Explorer software. which can be installed on the FPL Series or on an external PC. The options VSE-K70 (VSA) and VSE-K106 (NB-IoT) are supported with the FPL Series. When using the VSE, the official VSE SW license with the license dongle FSPC are required. The standard analysis bandwidth is 10 MHz with optional FPL1-B40 upgrade to 40 MHz. Third party software like Matlab can extract IQ data from the IQ-analyzer. For noise figure and gain measurements with an external noise source, R&S offers option FPL1-K30.


Solid RF performance
The analog performance of the FPL Series is very close to the R&S FSV. The FPL Series features phase noise of –108 dBc (1 Hz) at 10 kHz offset (1 GHz carrier), a third-order intercept point of +20 dBm, 1 Hz to 10 MHz resolution bandwidth and –167 dBm displayed average noise level. The FPL Series has an optional pre-amplifier with 20 dB gain (option FPL1-B22) and optional 1 dB attenuator steps (FPL1-B25) to extend the usable dynamic range and sensitivity. The specified low spurious response of -70 dBc up to 10 MHz offset and even -80 dBc at higher offsets is unique in this class.
