Rohde and Schwarz FPL1-K70 - Vector Signal Analysis Application

The R&S FPL1000 analyzes and demodulates digitally modulated single-carrier signals with up to 40 MHz analysis bandwidth. Universities and research facilities will benefit from the instrument’s flexibility in analyzing proprietary signals. Developers of mobile communications devices and components can easily use the predefined standard settings.

When analyzing digital modulation signals, the R&S FPL1000 receives and digitizes the signal, which is then analyzed by the R&S FPL1-K70 option.

The R&S FPL1-K70 vector signal analysis option is a powerful tool for analyzing individual digitally modulated signals down to the bit level. The clear operating concept simplifies the measurement despite many analysis functions, including a digital equalizer for channel response correction, correction of common I/Q errors, and the display of many measured values as a graph or in table format.

FPL1-K70M and FPL1-K70P options

DVB-S2X modulation analysis

The R&S FPL1-K70M multicarrier modulation analysis application (FPL1-K70 option required) allows DVB‑S2X signals to be analyzed. The R&S FPL1-K70M option detects the start of frame, demodulates both the header and payload parts of the signal, and displays the constellation diagram and relevant modulation analysis parameters.

Uncoded bit error rate

The R&S FPL1-K70P is an extension of the R&S FPL1-K70 vector signal analysis option (FPL1-K70 option required) that allows the measurement of raw bit error rate (BER) on PRBS data up to PRBS23. The R&S FPL1-K70P also offers the ability to measure BER based on user-defined bit sequences.
