Rohde & Schwarz Noise figure measurement application, noise source required, preamplifier R&S®FSW3x-B24 recommended (software license) (floating license)
The R&S®FSW-K30 Noise Figure Measurement Application (floating license, part number 1347.7723.51) is a software option for the R&S®FSW signal and spectrum analyzer series. It enables precise noise figure and gain measurements of amplifiers and other devices, supporting both Y-factor and gain method techniques. The application requires an external noise source for operation and is optimized for use with the R&S®FSW3x-B24 preamplifier to achieve best measurement sensitivity. The floating license allows flexible deployment across multiple instruments within a network. The software provides automated measurement routines, graphical result displays, and supports calibration for accurate, repeatable results. It is designed for R&D and production environments where reliable noise figure characterization is essential.
