Spectrum analyzer from R&S handles 40GHz without external mixers or downconverters

The spectrum analyzers from R&S called FSVR family offers real-time analysis up to 40 GHz, which is currently unique in the market. No external mixers or downconverters are needed to enter the frequency range above 26 GHz, claims R&S.

The R&S®FSVR40 real-time spectrum analyzer targets below applications:
Aerospace & Defense industry when doing research and development on radar systems such as Surface Movement RADAR (SMR) or Airport Surface Detection Equipment (ASDE) for the detection of unwanted effects and looking at higher harmonics of similar applications in the K band.
Aerospace & Defense industry when monitoring satellite links working at frequencies > 30 GHz
Companies developing or characterizing equipment for microwave links at 38 GHz
