Used ROHDE & SCHWARZ SFQ #9154465 for sale

ROHDE & SCHWARZ SFQ is a state-of-the-art electronic test equipment capable of measuring the performance characteristics of a wide variety of transistor-level circuits from ultra-low frequency to very high frequencies (VHF/UHF). In its basic form, SFQ is a 6GHz 6-port network analyzer specifically tailored to the needs of general purpose and low-noise RF device characterization. It utilizes two independent 4-port channels - one for the device under test (DUT) and one for reference measurements. This makes it an ideal choice for low-noise amplifier characterization, antenna measurements, amplifier linearity and weight optimization, noise figure, gain compression, IP3, and harmonic distortion analyses. ROHDE & SCHWARZ SFQ features several helpful features that make it a versatile tool for lab- or field-measurements, including a 5-inch LCD display, auto-sense capabilities, a calibration wizard, a built-in synthesizer, and an intuitive user interface. It also has a fast boot-up and measurement speed, enabling short test times and fast re-measurements. SFQ supports two types of measurements: parametric and vector network analyzer measurements. Parametric measurements measure gain, linearity, noise figure, gain compression, IP3, and harmonic distortion. Vector network analysis measurements are capable of measuring the frequency response of the DUT and generates magnitude and phase plots. ROHDE & SCHWARZ SFQ uses a unique approach to repeatability, offering 2-port and 4-port reflection and transmission measurements with up to 18-bit accuracy. SFQ also offers a wide range of waveform analysis capabilities, including time domain (TD), spectrogram, and power spectral density (FFT, DPSS) measurements. It can determine RMS level and peak-to-peak level (PP); this allows faster determination of the maximum frequency of a signal. In the time domain, it offers up to 8 different parameters for signal analysis, including rise time, fall time, and amplitude accuracy. ROHDE & SCHWARZ SFQ also comes with a professional-grade set of software, which can craft customized measurement setups and develop unique measurement configurations, without the need for programming. This interface is designed to provide undisputable data through a number of built-in calibration options, such as an ultra-fast automatic calibration, as well as manual calibration. Additionally, the software can generate reports including diagrams, tables, and graphs. One of the industry leading features of SFQ is its full-range signal strength analyzer (SSA). This feature allows users to detect and measure weak signals in environments with strong interference and can be used to verify channel attenuation, the transmission of unmodulated signals, or the end-to-end performance of a receiver chain. The SSA can even detect and measure signals down to below -160dBm in detection band widths from 1Hz to 20MHz. The signal strength analyzer also features advanced detection filters and can be used in combination with ROHDE & SCHWARZ SFQ protocols. In summary, SFQ is a powerful electronic test equipment designed for detailed studies of RF devices from ultra-low frequency to VHF/UHF. It offers high-accuracy and repeatability parametric and vector network analysis measurements to allow users to analyze and optimize their device performance. Additionally, it offers a wide range of waveform analysis capabilities, robust calibration features, and a professional-grade software suite for creating customized measurement setups.
