DESCRIPTION:
The Rohde & Schwarz Spectrum Rider FPH44 is the highest-frequency model in the Spectrum Rider family, providing spectrum analysis coverage from 5 kHz to 44 GHz within a compact handheld platform. Designed for engineers, field technicians, defence organisations, wireless operators, broadcasters, satellite communications providers, and microwave network installers, the FPH44 delivers laboratory-grade RF performance in demanding field environments.
Its wide frequency coverage enables testing and troubleshooting of microwave point-to-point links, radar systems, satellite communications, wireless infrastructure, aerospace applications, defence systems, and emerging high-frequency communication technologies. The instrument offers excellent sensitivity, low displayed average noise level (DANL), and high measurement accuracy for reliable RF signal analysis across the full operating range.
The FPH44 features an intuitive touchscreen interface combined with traditional keypad operation, allowing efficient operation in field conditions. Integrated measurement functions include spectrum analysis, channel power, occupied bandwidth, adjacent channel power measurements (ACP), field strength measurements, and interference analysis. Optional application packages extend capability into advanced wireless signal analysis and transmitter testing.
A ruggedized design with battery-powered operation allows engineers to perform measurements in remote locations, rooftop installations, telecommunications sites, military environments, and industrial facilities. Internal data storage and connectivity options support documentation, reporting, and transfer of measurement results.
The instrument is particularly suited for high-frequency microwave and millimetre-wave environments where portability, measurement accuracy, and wide frequency coverage are critical requirements.
