Are Rohde & Schwarz instruments suitable for RF and microwave testing?

Yes, Rohde & Schwarz instruments are widely regarded as some of the best tools for RF and microwave testing. Their signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers are engineered for high-frequency accuracy, low phase noise, and wide dynamic range.

These instruments are used in demanding applications such as radar development, satellite communications, 5G, and wireless device testing, where precision and reliability are critical.

What is the difference between a spectrum analyzer and a signal analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz?

A spectrum analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz measures signal amplitude across a frequency range, helping identify signal presence, strength, and interference in RF environments. It’s ideal for general frequency domain analysis.

A signal analyzer offers all the capabilities of a spectrum analyzer but adds advanced modulation analysis and demodulation tools. It’s designed for in-depth evaluation of modern digital communication signals like LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi.

Signal analyzers are typically used when both spectral and modulation performance need to be examined in detail.

How do I choose the right Rohde & Schwarz signal generator for my application?

Choosing the right signal generator depends on the frequency range, modulation requirements, and output performance needed for your specific test environment. Start by identifying the maximum frequency you need to generate, and whether your application involves analog, digital, or complex modulated signals.

Consider:

Frequency range: Choose a model that covers your target bandwidth

Output power and phase noise: Important for high-precision RF testing

Modulation capabilities: AM, FM, PM, pulse, or vector modulation support

Portability and interface options: Based on lab or field requirements

Are Rohde & Schwarz products compliant with industry standards?

Yes, Rohde & Schwarz designs its test equipment to meet or exceed international industry standards. Their instruments support compliance testing for standards such as 3GPP, IEEE, ISO, and ITU, among others. This makes them suitable for use in regulated environments, including aerospace, defense, telecom, and automotive industries.

The company also maintains strict quality assurance processes and certifications, ensuring that their equipment performs reliably and meets the technical benchmarks required for modern testing applications.

Is calibration included when purchasing Rohde & Schwarz equipment?

At ValueTronics, most Rohde & Schwarz equipment, whether new or used, includes standard calibration at the time of purchase. This helps verify that the instrument meets the manufacturer's specifications and is ready for use.

For used equipment, calibration is performed by certified technicians using traceable procedures. If you need additional or accredited calibration services, our team can arrange that prior to shipping.
