Basic spectrum and vector network analyzers

From R&S®ESSENTIALS

As a globally renowned expert in RF measurements, Rohde & Schwarz applies its 50 years of know how to the R&S®ESSENTIALS portfolio. Our spectrum and vector network analyzers are workbench staples, supporting a broad range of applications in research, education, manufacturing and maintenance.

We offer a variety of low-cost spectrum analyzers tailored to different needs. Basic spectrum analyzers are ideal for workbenches and labs where size, weight and ease of use are critical: our 1 GHz to 3 GHz spectrum analyzers serve as everyday tools for EMI debugging or educational applications. For more complex setups, we provide models with higher bandwidths, perfect for automated and advanced EMI measurements. For fieldwork, we offer portable network analyzers with long battery lives.

Our low-cost vector network analyzers deliver excellent RF characteristics and a wide range of analysis functions. They are perfect for analyzing passive and active components such as filters, amplifiers, mixers and multiport modules. Explore a variety of models, ranging from basic vector network analyzers for simpler setups to higher-end equipment for more intricate measurements.

Whether you’re new to RF measurements or looking to optimize your setup, we offer valuable resources to support your work and enhance your understanding of essential instruments. Learn the fundamentals of spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers, and explore application use cases and measurement scenarios.
