R&S®FSW-K18 supports amplifier characterization with CW and modulated stimulus

The R&S®FSW signal and spectrum analyzer with the R&S®FSW-K18 amplifier measurement option and in combination with the R&S®SMW200A vector signal generator characterizes amplifiers and other two-port devices with any given stimulus. The stimulus can be a level-swept CW signal or any modulated signal. The amplifier personality provides all results such as AM/AM conversion, gain compression and EVM from a single measurement with the specified stimulus.
