Rohde & Schwarz has expanded its successful R&S Spectrum Rider FPH family with three
new base models providing frequency ranges from 5 kHz to 6 GHz, 13.6 GHz and 26.5 GHz.
The R&S Spectrum Rider FPH was the industry’s first handheld spectrum analyzer to offer
a capacitive touchscreen and a unique frequency upgrade concept via keycodes. Since
upgrades require neither downtime nor recalibration, users can easily upgrade their base
models, e.g. from 26.5 GHz to 31 GHz. New higher-frequency models enable the rugged R&S
Spectrum Rider FPH to perform a large range of measurement tasks in the field and lab. In
combination with a number of useful options, the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH is a handy tool
for diverse applications, such as verifying signal transmission over 5G, broadcast, radar
and satellite communications links. The instrument will appeal to field technicians and lab
engineers alike, as it supports everyday measurement tasks in aerospace and defense,
mobile network testing and broadcasting, as well as tasks to be performed by regulatory
authorities and tasks in education. Weighing just 2.5 kg, the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH is
ideal for mobile use. Its battery lasts more than six hours, making the instrument capable
of working a full day without recharging. The analyzer can be remotely controlled via USB
or LAN. For even more convenience, the R&S MobileView app for iOS and Android provides
wireless remote control of the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH from a mobile device.
