The R&S®FSL is an lightweight and compact spectrum analyzer that is ideal for a large number of applications in development, service and production. Despite its compact size, it offers a wealth of functions more typical of the high-end range, thus ensuring an excellent price/performance ratio. The R&S®FSL is the only instrument in its class that features a tracking generator up to 18 GHz and can analyze signals with a bandwidth of 28 MHz. In addition, the R&S®FSL18, which operates at frequencies up to 18 GHz, supports applications in the microwave range.
The high-end approach is also evident in the operating features. When equipped with a tracking generator up to 18 GHz, the R&S®FSL18 is an easily portable, microwave scalar network analyzer. As with the higher-class analyzers from Rohde&Schwarz, the main functions of the R&S®FSL are directly accessible by fixed-assignment function keys, with additional functions accessed using softkeys and tables. This shortens the learning curve for new users. Its compact size and low weight, plus its optional battery pack, make the R&S®FSL ideal for mobile use. The R&S®FSL has unique plug&play upgrade abilities. All options can be added without opening the instrument

There are six different R&S FSL models available (see page 21 for specifications):
R&S FSL3: 9 kHz to 3 GHz (available with and without tracking generator)
R&S FSL6: 9 kHz to 6 GHz (available with and without tracking generator)
R&S FSL18: 9 kHz to 18 GHz (20 GHz overrange, available with and without tracking generator) The R&S®FSL18 covers frequencies up to 18 GHz, which makes it ideal for a large number of development, service and production applications at microwave frequencies. Examples include the installation and maintenance of radar systems and microwave links, as well as the production of microwave components or satellite surveillance.
