The R&S Spectrum Rider FPH is designed to suit both field and lab application in indoor and in outdoor environments. Large buttons and a multi-function rotary control allow operation even with gloves. Its backlit keypad makes the analyzer also usable in the dark, and the bright, non-reflecting display makes it readable in the sunshine. The battery lasts an entire workday. Its light weight, small form factor and ruggedness make the analyzer easy to carry. The instrument is a reliable companion, even in harsh and difficult to reach environments.

Due to its fanless design, the analyzer operates noise free and is clean and reliable since no dust or water can slip in through the vent guard.

The small form factor does not limit the performance and capabilities of the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH. Thanks to its solid RF performance, its short boot time and its ease of use, the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH is the perfect instrument for spectrum measurements in the lab or in service applications.

The state-of-the-art touchscreen allows operation using smartphone-like touch gestures. An on-screen keyboard and many other functions make the life of the user easier.

Excellent in the Field

The unique combination of low weight, small footprint, short boot time and the longest battery life on the market makes the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH ideal for work in the field, even in remote, difficult-to-reach locations. The R&S Spectrum Rider FPH can operate an entire working day (more than 6 hours) without recharging or changing the battery. It weighs only 2.5 kg (5.5lb) including battery.

Examples of measurements in the field

• Verifying signal transmission (e.g. verifying 5G, broadcast, radar and satellite communications link)
• Spectrum checking, site survey
• Interference hunting
• EMF measurement
• Microwave link alignment

Excellent for lab diagnostics

With a phase noise of -105 dBc (1 Hz) at 100 kHz offset from the carrier, a total measurement uncertainty of 0.5 dB and its high sensitivity (displayed average noise level (DANL) of typ. < - 163 dBm (10 MHz to 3 GHz with preamplifier one), the R&S Spectrum Rider FPH is a powerful and easy-to-use spectrum analyzer for RF diagnostics in service and development labs. (please place image side by side with examples list)

Examples of measurements in the lab:
 

• Frequency and amplitude of any RF device
• Accurate frequency readings with the frequency counter, e.g. for alignment of frequency references
• Measurement of spurious emissions
• Measurement of harmonics and intermodulation products
• Measurement of pulsed signals in the time domain

User Friendly

Easy to use with smartphone-like gestures on the touchscreen The R&S SpectrumRider FPH offers flexible and straight-forward operation. Depending on the application, it can be operated either via its 7" capacitive touchscreen or with keys.

The analyzer's unique capacitive touchscreen enables users to adjust the most common settings, such as center frequency, span and reference level, and manage markers with intuitive gestures as with a smartphone.

Thanks to the large keys and the rotary knob with enter function, the R&S SpectrumRider FPH can be easily operated in outdoor environments and even with gloves in winter. There are dedicated softkeys and hardkeys for the most important settings such as frequency, span, amplitude, markers and limit lines.

For documentation purposes, the screenshot button makes it possible to save a graphics file with a single keystroke. A USB flash drive or a microSD card can be used to collect large amounts of data.
