Rohde & Schwarz Electronic step attenuator (retrofittable only in Rohde & Schwarz service with UCS; hardware option)
The Rohde & Schwarz 1416.1353.02 is an electronic step attenuator designed as a hardware option for specific R&S®FSV Signal and Spectrum Analyzer models. This attenuator is not a standard user-installable accessory; it is retrofittable only by Rohde & Schwarz service personnel and requires the use of the Unified Configuration Software (UCS) for proper integration. The electronic step attenuator enables precise, programmable attenuation of input signals, enhancing measurement flexibility and dynamic range. It is intended to improve the analyzers performance in applications requiring variable signal levels, such as receiver testing and signal characterization. Installation and activation of this option must be performed by authorized Rohde & Schwarz service centers to ensure compliance with factory specifications and maintain instrument calibration and warranty.
