Page 65: Spectrum Analyzer Mode
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3 Spectrum Analyzer Mode The default operating mode of the R&S FSH is the spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer provides the functionality to perform measurements in the frequency domain, e.g. to identify the power of signals. 3.1 Performing Spectrum Measurements In addition to basic spectrum measurements, the R&S FSH provides several specific measurements.
Page 66: Measuring The Channel Power Of Continuously Modulated Signals
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.2 Measuring the Channel Power of Continuously Modulated Signals The channel power measurement selectively measures the power of modulated signals. Unlike a power meter that performs measurements over its entire frequency range, the channel power measurement measures the power of a specific transmission channel.
Page 67 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.2.1 Selecting the Standard If you need to perform measurements that are conform to a telecommunications standard, you can activate one of the predefined standards that are already stored in the R&S FSH memory. However, you can create new configurations to perform measurements on other standards as well.
Page 68 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.2.3 Setting the Channel Bandwidth The channel bandwidth specifies the frequency range around the center frequency, over which the R&S FSH performs the power measurement. ► Press the MEAS key. ► Press the "Chan BW" softkey. The R&S FSH opens an input field to specify the channel bandwidth.
Page 69 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.2.5 Measuring the Maximum Channel Power If signal levels fluctuate significantly, you can define the maximum channel power with the Max Hold function. ► Press the MEAS key. ► Press the "Power Display" softkey. ►...
Page 70: Measuring The Occupied Bandwidth
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.3 Measuring the Occupied Bandwidth The proper operation of a transmission network requires that all transmitters adhere to the bandwidths assigned to them. The occupied bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth that contains a specified percentage of the entire power of the transmitter. Numerous standards require a occupied bandwidth of 99 %.
Page 71 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.3.1 Selecting a Standard If you need to perform measurements that are conform to a telecommunications standard, you can activate one of the predefined standards that are already stored in the R&S FSH memory. However, you can create new configurations to perform measurements on other standards as well.
Page 72 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements To prevent an overload, perform the measurement with the largest resolution bandwidth possible using the peak detector. If you set these parameters, it is not possible for the trace to exceed the reference level. To simplify operation and to prevent incorrect measurements, the R&S FSH has an automatic routine for setting the reference level.
Page 73 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.3.5 Changing the Span Usually, the span the R&S FSH sets yields optimal results. But sometimes you also need to see the spectrum outside the current span to detect other signal components that you need to include in the measurement.
Page 74: Power Measurements On Tdma Signals
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.4 Power Measurements on TDMA Signals When TDMA (time division multiple access) methods are used, e.g. for GSM, several users share a channel. Each user is assigned a period of time or timeslot. With the TDMA power measurement, you can determine the power over one of the timeslots.
Page 75 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.4.1 Selecting a Standard If you need to perform measurements that are conform to a telecommunications standard, you can activate one of the predefined standards that are already stored in the R&S FSH memory. When starting the measurement in the default configuration, the R&S FSH automatically activates the GSM/EDGE standard.
Page 76 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements Because the resolution bandwidths of the R&S FSH are implemented digitally after the A/D converter, the signal level at the A/D converter can be higher than the level indicated by the trace, depending on the selected resolution bandwidth. To prevent the A/D converter from being overloaded, the signal must be measured at the widest resolution bandwidth and video bandwidth with the peak detector.
Page 77: Measuring The Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (Aclr)
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.5 Measuring the Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) The Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) measurement is a method to measure the power over more than one transmission channel and also evaluate the power of the adjacent (or alternate) channels of the transmission channel.
Page 78 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements The predefined standards are the same as for channel power measurements (3GPP WCDMA, cdmaOne and CDMA2000 1x systems). However, you can also customize the settings to set up the R&S FSH for other radio communication standards. You can define the settings directly on the R&S FSH or define and manage them using the R&S FSH4View software.
Page 79 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements For standard NADC/IS136 this would not be not possible, for example, since the spectrum of the transmit signal penetrates into the adjacent channels and a too large resolution bandwidth causes a too low selection of the channel filter. The adjacent-channel power would thus be measured too high.
Page 80 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.5.1 Selecting a Standard If you need to perform measurements that are conform to a telecommunications standard, you can activate one of the predefined standards that are already stored in the R&S FSH memory. Those predefined standards have already been set up to yield the best results.
Page 81 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements Setting the channel bandwidth The channel bandwidth specifies the frequency range around the center frequency, over which the R&S FSH performs the power measurement. ► Press the MEAS key. ► Press the "Channel BW" softkey. The R&S FSH opens a dialog box to specify the channel bandwidth for all channels.
Page 82 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements ► Select the channel you want to change the spacing for. ► Activate the input by pressing the ENTER key. ► Enter the channel spacing you need. The R&S FSH now takes the new values into account for future measurements.
Page 83 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.5.3 Normalization of Measurement Results By default, the power of the channels and adjacent channels is displayed in the unit dBm. It is also possible to display the power density of the signal to, for example, measure the signal/noise power density or obtain the signal to noise ratio.
Page 84 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements Max Power Tx Channel The channel with the highest power level is the reference channel. Lowest Highest Channel The outer left-hand transmission channel is the reference channel for the lower adjacent channels. The outer right-hand transmission channel is the reference channel for the upper adjacent channels.
Page 85 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements Performing a limit check ► Press the "Channel Settings" softkey. ► Select the "Check Channel Limits" menu item. The R&S FSH automatically performs limit checks. The results of the limit check are displayed in the table above the trace. If a result fails the limit check, it turns red and has a star (*) in front of its power level.
Page 86: Measuring The Spectrum Emission Mask
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.6 Measuring the Spectrum Emission Mask The Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM) measurement is a method to detect spurious emissions or intermodulation products of a signal. When performing a SEM measurement, the R&S FSH checks the signal against a spectral mask to see whether the signal complies with a specific standard or not.
Page 87 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements Markers in the SEM measurement In addition to the normal marker functionality of the R&S FSH, the SEM measurement provides special markers labeled P1 to Px. The R&S FSH activates and positions these special markers automatically after displaying the trace.
Page 88 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.6.3 Viewing the Results in a Table You can add a table to the display that shows the measurement results in numerical form. ► Press the MEAS key. ► Press the "View List" softkey. The R&S FSH shows a list above the trace diagram.
Page 89: Measuring The Harmonic Distortion
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.7 Measuring the Harmonic Distortion The Harmonic Distortion measurement is an easy way to identify the harmonics of a DUT. In addition to the graphic display of the harmonics, this measurement mode also calculates the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and shows the results.
Page 90 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.7.1 Defining the Number of Harmonics By default, the R&S FSH shows the signal and its first harmonic. Each harmonic is indicated by a marker that the R&S FSH places on the harmonic (here M1 and M2). Note that all of the markers that have been set are normal markers that show the absolute frequency of the harmonic.
Page 91: Measuring The Am Modulation Depth
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.8 Measuring the AM Modulation Depth The AM Modulation Depth measurement analyzes AM modulated signals and calculates the modulation depth of the signal using the measurement results. Note that the measurement works properly only if you apply an AM modulated signal. ►...
Page 92 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements From the values of the markers, the R&S FSH then calculates the AM modulation depth. The AM modulation depth is the ratio between the power values at the reference marker and at the delta markers. When the powers of the two AM side bands are not the same, the R&S FSH uses the mean value of the two sideband values.
Page 93: Measuring Spurious Emissions
R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements 3.1.9 Measuring Spurious Emissions The Spurious Emission measurement is a tool to monitor unwanted emissions in the frequency spectrum outside of an assigned channel (carrier). When performing a Spurious Emission measurement, the R&S FSH checks the spectrum that you have defined against a limit line to see whether the signal complies with a specific standard or not.
Page 94 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Performing Spectrum Measurements Note that the frequency range of the actual measurement depends on the start and stop frequency you have set for the carrier. Correct measurement results are therefore only possible if the frequency ranges of the measurement are inside the current span of the R&S FSH.

To access it, press the SWEEP key. 3.2.4.1 Setting the Sweep Time The sweep time is the time it takes the R&S FSH to get the results that are contained in one trace.
Page 121 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Configuring Spectrum Measurements In some cases it may be sufficient to get the results over a single sweep only, e.g. if a particular trigger condition is met. In single sweep mode, the R&S FSH performs the sweep a certain number of times (depending on the number of averages you have set) over the defined range of the horizontal axis (frequency or time) and then stops measuring.
Page 122 R&S FSH Spectrum Analyzer Mode Configuring Spectrum Measurements ● Gated Trigger When the gated trigger is active, a gate signal that is applied to the R&S FSH trigger input controls the sweep. The R&S FSH starts measuring when the applied gate signal becomes active and the set gate delay has expired, and it interrupts the measurement as soon as the defined gate length is reached.

Page 196: Calibrating Measurements
R&S FSH Network Analyzer Mode Calibrating Measurements 6.2 Calibrating Measurements In its default state, the R&S FSH uses factory calibration. Factory calibration is a full 2- port calibration over the current frequency range (i.e. span) of the R&S FSH. When factory calibration is active, the status line reads .
Page 197 R&S FSH Network Analyzer Mode Calibrating Measurements You can restore the factory calibration manually any time. Press the "Calibration" softkey. Select the "User Calibration Off" menu item. ● (fcal?) The R&S FSH uses factory calibration. However, the calibration is not accurate because the power of the tracking generator and the attenuation at the RF input are not in line with the default settings.
Page 198 R&S FSH Network Analyzer Mode Calibrating Measurements 6.2.1.2 Calibration Methods The available calibration methods depend on whether you perform scalar or vector measurements. In addition, calibration for reflection measurements is available only for models with an VSWR bridge. Scalar measurements Scalar measurements provide normalization of transmission and reflection only.
Page 199 R&S FSH Network Analyzer Mode Calibrating Measurements ● Normalize… Normalization is a simple way to calibrate the measurement using one calibration standard only. The correction data is deducted from this measurement. As only one calibration standard is used, the isolation between the test ports is ignored. A possible cross-talk between the test ports is therefore not eliminated and the accuracy is lower than that of a full calibration.

R&S FSH How a Spectrum Analyzer Works Functions of the Digital Modulation Analyzer 11 How a Spectrum Analyzer Works Basically, it is possible to measure and analyze RF signals either in the time domain or the frequency domain. Measurements in the time domain show signal variations over time. You can perform these with an oscilloscope, for example.
Page 371 R&S FSH How a Spectrum Analyzer Works Functions of the Digital Modulation Analyzer Figure 11-2: Block diagram showing the basic functionality of a spectrum analyzer The precision attenuator at the R&S FSH input attenuates the signal to a level that the mixer can handle without overdriving the mixer.
Page 372 R&S FSH How a Spectrum Analyzer Works Functions of the Digital Modulation Analyzer The first local oscillator is tuned with a sawtooth which simultaneously acts as the x deflection voltage for the display. In practice, synthesizer technology is used to generate the frequency of the first local oscillator and for a digital display.
Page 373 R&S FSH How a Spectrum Analyzer Works Functions of the Digital Modulation Analyzer Limiting the video bandwidth smoothes the trace considerably. This makes it much easier to determine the level of the measured signal. The detector comes after the video filter. The detector combines the measured spectrum so that it can be represented as one pixel in the trace.
