Rohde & Schwarz has introduced the R&S FNH handheld combi analyzer, which combines spectrum analysis, real-time spectrum analysis, vector network analysis and power metering for field and laboratory use. It supports spectrum analysis up to 32 GHz and vector network analysis up to 26.5 GHz, with real-time analysis and IQ capture bandwidth of up to 125 MHz.
Designed for aerospace and defense applications, the analyzer meets IP51 protection requirements and operates from -10 °C to +55 °C. An optional rain holster raises protection to IP54. The company identifies installation, maintenance and calibration of radar systems, satellite ground stations and communication systems, as well as interference hunting and spectrum monitoring, as field applications. Its compact design also supports laboratory R&D and education.
Spectrum analysis is standard; real-time spectrum analysis, a cable and antenna tester and a two-port VNA can be activated through keycodes. The instrument supports a Rohde & Schwarz USB power sensor for power measurements and optional pulse analysis. Other functions include R&S VSE software compatibility for signal demodulation analysis, a channel scanner that automates measurements across predefined lists, and an integrated power meter for peak and average power readings. Its real-time bandwidth of up to 125 MHz allows for an intercept time of 3.6 µs, and the analyzer provides a low displayed average noise level and low VSWR across its frequency ranges.
Michael Fischlein, vice president RF Test Solutions at Rohde & Schwarz, said: "With the R&S FNH handheld combi analyzer, Rohde & Schwarz presents a worthy successor to the legendary R&S FSH and R&S ZVH handheld analyzers. The device combines the widest real-time bandwidth in its class with a comprehensive feature set for spectrum analysis and two-port VNA measurements. Outstanding RF performance and versatile measurement functions make the R&S FNH a complete measurement lab in pocket format."
The R&S FNH replaces the R&S FSH and R&S ZVH models and is available in three hardware versions, covering frequency ranges up to 6 GHz, 13 GHz and 26.5 GHz. The ranges can be expanded up to 8 GHz and 20 GHz for the first two versions, while the 26.5 GHz model can be expanded to 32 GHz for spectrum analysis. Rohde & Schwarz will present the analyzer at electronica, booth A4.307, in Munich from November 10 to 13, 2026. It is available from the company and selected distribution partners with a standard three-year warranty. More information is available at http://www.rohde-schwarz.com/product/fnh.
