Rohde & Schwarz FSP-B9 Tracking generator for FSP 9 kHz - 3 GHz, I/Q modulator
The optional Internal Tracking Generator ¸FSP-B9 up to 3 GHz and External Generator Control FSP-B10 extend the FSP spectrum analyzers to scalar network analyzer functionality.The gain,frequency response,insertion and return loss are measured using a selective method in a wide dynamic range without any influence from the harmonics or spurious of the generator.The Internal Tracking Generator¸FSP-B9, can be used in all FSP models and covers the frequency range from 9 kHz to 3 GHz.A frequency offset of ±150 MHz can be set for measurements on frequency-converting modules.The tracking generator can be broadband-modulated by an external I/Q baseband signal.
During normal operation (without a frequency offset), the tracking generator emits a signal exactly at the input frequency of the FSP.
For frequency-converting measurements it is possible to set a constant frequency offset of ±150 MHz between the receive frequency of the FSP and the output signal of the tracking generator.Moreover, an I/Q modulation or AM and FM modulation of the output signal can be provided using two analog input signals. The output power is level-controlled and can be set in 0.1 dB steps in a range from -30 dBm to 0 dBm. The tracking generator can be used in all operating modes. Acquisition of test setup calibration values (SOURCE CAL) and normalization using these correction values (NORMALIZE) is only possible in the NETWORK operating mode.
