Checking Reference Level Switching (IF Gain)
Test principle:

The IF gain of the FSP can be switched from 0 to 50 dB by changing
the reference level at fixed RF attenuation. To prevent the IF gain
accuracy from being confused with the log amplifier accuracy, it is
determined by comparison using an external precision attenuator.

To obtain a precise measurement of the phase noise at high offsets, the level used at the
FSP input is 20 dB higher than the reference level. To reduce the measurement time, the
phase noise is measured with a small span around the frequency offset. This prevents the
FSP from being overloaded.

2 Adjustment
The following chapter describes the adjustment of the reference sources as well as the softwarecontrolled adjustment of individual module data following module replacement.
The FSP permits the following manual adjustments:
•
•

Adjustment of the 10 MHz reference oscillator which determines the frequency accuracy of the FSP
Adjustment of the 128 MHz calibration source which determines the level accuracy of the FSP

The adjustment permits to maintain and restore the data integrity of the instrument.
Manual adjustments must be performed at an ambient temperature between +20 °C and +30 °C after
the instrument has warmed up.
After the adjustment and an internal total calibration has been performed, the FSP is ready for use and
offers full data integrity.

Adjustment of Module Data

FSP

Adjustment of Module Data
All boards of the FSP contain EEPROMS for storage of board data.
In addition to some standard information such as module name, serial number, hardware status and
date of manufacture, these stored data items contain important pieces of information within value tables
from module pre-testing, e.g. frequency responses for module error data. This EEPROM data is read
out during a cold boot and stored on the hard disk. In normal operation, the data record stored on the
hard disk is always used.
In order to match the data stored in EEPROMs on the respective modules to the complete instrument, a
cold boot should always be performed after replacing a module so that module data can be adjusted.
The complete contents of the new module are read from the EEPROM and copied to the hard disk of
the FSP. The existing calibration data (results from the latest total calibration) are deleted and the
instruments displays UNCAL. Thus, the FSP must always be calibrated again after replacement of a
module (softkey CAL TOTAL).
After the total calibration has been successfully performed, a backup of the EEPROM files must be
made on the hard disk with the aid of a service function:
Settings on the FSP:

- [ SETUP : SERVICE : ENTER PASSWORD : 30473035 ENTER ]
- [ SETUP : SERVICE : SERVICE FUNCTION : 3.0.11 ENTER ]

If the IF filter module has been replaced, the calibration data should also be written back to the
EEPROM:
Settings on the FSP:

- [ SETUP : SERVICE : SERVICE FUNCTION : 3.0.7 ENTER ]

If an instrument has been downgraded through the removal of an option module, the EEPROM file
associated with this module must be deleted as well as any existing .Bak file on the D:\r_s\instr\eeprom\
drive and on the C:\r_s\instr\eeprom\backup drives.

Frequency response correction
With some boards (see chapter 3, section "Module Exchange") an frequency response correction is
necessary in addition to the automatic adjustment of module data. This correction is performed by
means of the software FSP-FRQ.

The FSP is a triple-conversion superjet receiver (double-conversion for receive frequencies >3 GHz) for
the frequency range from 9 kHz to several GHz, depending on the instrument model. The signals are
processed by one RF board (two for models > 3 GHz), one IF board, one signal detection board and a
controller comprising a Pentium-driven commercially available PC, an I/O interface and a graphics
controller. The instrument can be upgraded to meet future requirements by retrofitting options in the
analog and digital sections.
The input signal is reduced in level by the attenuator and routed to the RF modules depending on the
instrument type. In instruments with option FSP-B25 (electronic attenuator), this module follows in the
signal path. In 3 GHz models, it directly follows the RF frontend; in the high-frequency models, a diplexer
is connected in between. The high-frequency signal component >3 GHz is routed to the microwave
converter module following the diplexer. The IF module is the same in all instrument models, and
likewise for the signal path through signal detection to the display.
The internal reference and calibration signals are generated in the frequency and level reference part on
the IF filter board. Here the 128 MHz reference frequency from the frontend is amplified and made
available to the instrument as a reference frequency, and a level-controlled output signal is generated as
an internal level reference for instrument calibration.
The tracking generator produces an output signal at the receive frequency with a frequency offset of
±150 MHz. The output level of the module is regulated and can be set in the range -30 dBm to 0 dBm.
The output signal can be externally I/Q-, AM- and FM-modulated.
A detailed description of the modules is provided in the following.

Attenuator
The RF signal passes from the input connector via the input switch to the input attenuator, which can be
set from 0 to 70 dB in steps of 10 dB. The input signal is applied to the switch as well as a 128 MHz
signal which has a close tolerance level of -30 dBm for calibration purposes or 0 dBm for the selftest of
the instrument.

Electronic Attenuator (Option FSP-B25)
The electronic attenuator is fitted in the RF signal path directly behind the input attenuator. It consists of
three different parts: an 5 dB attenuator, which changes the input attenuation to 5 dB steps; an
electronic attenuator, which can be switched from 0 to 30 dB in steps of 5 dB; and a switchable
preamplifier to reduce the noise figure of the instrument.

RF-to-IF conversion for frequencies < 3 GHz

On frontend 1, the input signal in the range 0 to 3 GHz is converted to the first IF of 3476.4 MHz. The
input signal passes via the input lowpass to the first mixer. This lowpass at the mixer input provides for
suppression of the image frequency (image = LO + IF), such that the conversion remains unambiguous.
In the first mixer, the input signal is converted to an IF of 3476.4 MHz by means of the first LO (3476.4
to 6476.4 MHz). The mixer is followed by a low-noise IF amplifier, which compensates for the loss due
to mixing. The signal then passes a filter with a 3 dB bandwidth of approximately 100 MHz for filtering
the first intermediate frequency. The local oscillator frequency (3.4 to 6.6 GHz) required for this
conversion is also generated on this board. This signal is generated by three VCOs, which are
synchronized to a low phase noise VCO running from 320 to 352 MHz. The synchronization is done with
a sampling mixer; the resulting IF is variable. A signal with 384 MHz from frontend 2 is the reference
frequency The conversion gain of frontend 1 is approximately 0 dB.
Generation of the second and third local oscillator frequencies and conversion from the first to the third
IF are performed on frontend 2.
The module has 2 inputs for IF signals which can be selected using a changeover switch.
The signal from frontend 1 is converted to the second IF of 404.4 MHz in the second mixer. The signal
is then amplified, and the input switch for selection of the input signal is connected into the signal path.
The signal is routed to a 404.4 MHz filter with a 3 dB bandwidth of 10 MHz for further signal processing.
This filter functions as a resolution filter if the resolution bandwidth is set to 10 MHz, and it suppresses
the image frequency which might occur with the third conversion. The filter is followed by the third mixer,
which converts to 20.4 MHz. The conversion gain of frontend 2 is approximately 8 dB against the first IF
input and approximately 0 dB against the second IF input.
Located on frontend 2 is also the reference frequency generation for 128 MHz. This signal is generated
by a VTXO, which is synchronized to the 10 MHz reference applied from the IF filter. The third LO is
generated by multiplication of the oscillator signal (*3) and filtering of the comb line; this signal is also
used as a reference for frontend 1. The second LO for the second conversion is obtained using an
oscillator which is synchronized to a harmonic of the 384 MHz reference.

board. This module converts the analyzer input signals in the range above 3 GHz to the second IF of
404.4 MHz. After the attenuator, the input signals are split within the diplexer into the two signal paths <

The FSP offers resolution bandwidths from 1 Hz to 10 MHz in steps of 1/3/10. The selection filter at the
second IF of 404.4 MHz in the frontend yields the 10 MHz bandwidth. Selection is not performed at the
IF of 20.4 MHz.
The tunable bandwidths from 100 kHz to 3 MHz are at the third IF (20.4 MHz) on the IF filter module.
The bandwidths from 100 kHz to 3 MHz are provided by 4 decoupled LC circuits.
The IF filter module also comprises circuits for the IF gain (step gain) from 0 to 50 dB in 0.1 dB steps,
level correction for all bandwidths and frequency response correction using a variable gain amplifier
each.
The IF filters are followed by a log detector to obtain the display dynamic range.
The module also comprises a limiting amplifier (in the log-amp) with a TTL output for the frequency
counter.
For the digitally implemented resolution bandwidths from 1 Hz to 30 kHz, the 20.4 MHz IF signal at the
IF filter output is routed to the A/D converter.

Reference Frequency 128 MHz - IF Filter Module
This reference is generated on the frontend and is synchronized to the 10 MHz reference.
The signal from the frontend (128 MHz reference) is decoupled and distributed to the detector and to
other options.
The 128 MHz calibration signal is generated with automatic level control. The level is switchable
between 0 dBm and -30 dBm. The level is adjustable with a D/A converter.
A 4:1 divider generates the 32 MHz clock for the detector board ( A/D converter).

OCXO Reference (Option FSP-B4)
The FSP contains the option FSP-B4, an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO). This OCXO
generates a 10 MHz signal, which is routed to the IF filter board and used as a reference signal.

WCDMA Demodulation Hardware (Option FSP-B15)
Option FSP-B15 is required for broadband vector analysis. The module is inserted into the line of the
128 MHz calibration signal between the IF module and the attenuator. A pulse with a frequency of 62.5
kHz is generated from the 128 MHz signal by frequency division. This pulse is used to calibrate the 10

Processing of measured data

Spectrum Analysis Using an RBW >100 kHz
In this mode, only the analog resolution filters on the IF filter board are used. The signal applied to the
A/D converter via the input IF/Video is therefore already a log video signal. The signal is continuously
sampled at 32 MHz in the ADC and digitized.
The signal path is now directly routed to DCON.
In the DCON, the data are directly applied to the noise filter. The noise filter is used to limit the video
bandwidth or to average the noise content. The signal path is routed to the detector logic where the
results are processed, i.e. peak max, peak min, sample, average and RMS values as well as the
number of measured values and quasi-peak values are determined.
With measurement data rates > 1 MHz, detector data have to be stored in the measurement RAM
because online storage is no longer possible at these high speeds. Upon completion of the sweep, the
sweep data are read by the host from the measurement RAM, processed and displayed.

Spectrum Analysis Using an RBW ≤ 100 kHz
In this operating mode, the resolution bandwidths are generated digitally with the aid of the DDC. This IC
first mixes its input IF into the baseband using an NCO, and then filters the obtained I/Q signal via an
HDF (high decimation filter) and an FIR (finite impulse response) stage. At the end of the DDC
processing chain, the I/Q signal in the CORDIC block is split into magnitude and phase. For signal
processing in the DDF, the IF signal from the IF filter module directly represents the linear IF.
For a conventional log display of the analyzed spectrum, the magnitude data is logarithmized in the
DCON between the DDC interface and the noise filter.
Further signal processing on the detector board is identical to that of operating mode RBW > 100 kHz.

Instrument Design and Function Description

FSP

FFT Bandwidth
In the FFT bandwidth mode, the synthesizer is set to the desired frequency via the DCON which also
generates the tuning voltages for the analog hardware. The signal path is routed via ADC, Corr RAM
and DDC. The DDC first mixes the input IF into the baseband using an NCO, and then the obtained I/Q
signal is filtered in an HDF (high decimation filter) and FIR stage (finite impulse response). The I/Q
output data are then stored by the DDC in the I/Q RAM. With data logging completed, the I/Q data from
the I/Q RAM is transferred to the host via DDC and PCI interface FPGA. The host then performs the
FFT for this sweep section.

Video Bandwidths (VBW)
The video filters of the FSP can be adjusted between 1 Hz and 10 MHz in steps of 1/3/10. They are
designed as a digital lowpass filter for the video signal. The video bandwidth can either be coupled to
the resolution bandwidth (= default setting) or manually set to a fixed value.

Detectors
The FSP uses a detector for the positive peak (peak+) and one for the negative peak value (peak-). In
the sample mode, the video signal can also be directly sampled by the A/D converter without a peak
detector being required . Quasi-Peak, Average and RMS detectors are available in addition. The RMS
detector forms the rms value of the input signal for one point in the display during the measurement
time.

AF Demodulation (Option FSP-B3)
The FSP may contain option FSP-B3 as an AM/FM demodulator. In the analyzer mode, the signal at the
position of the reference marker during a sweep can be demodulated. In this case, the FSP stops the
sweep for a selectable time and demodulates the input signal. The loudness is adjusted with the volume
control knob.

TV and RF Trigger (Option FSP-B6)
By using the TV and RF trigger option FSP-B6, you can set triggering to a TV signal or to the presence
of an RF signal on the FSP.
For this purpose, the option module has a TV demodulator that provides the trigger signals required for
analyzing TV signals. In addition to the pure trigger function, the demodulated TV signal is available as a
CCVS video signal for operating a TV monitor. The FSP can also derive the trigger signals from an
externally applied CCVS signal. The associated connector is located on the rear panel of the FSP.
The FSP derives different trigger signals from the video signal to display defined sections of the TV
video signal in the time domain. Triggering in response to field frequency and to each line of the TV
video signal is possible.
In addition, the option module contains a broadband RF detector (bandwidth = 80 MHz) that allows
detection of a carrier signal far from the selected frequency range. This RF power trigger will function as
long as the RF signal applied to the input mixer is between -10 dBm and -50 dBm.

Tracking Generator (Option FSP-B9)
The tracking generator generates a signal exactly at the input frequency of the FSP during normal
operation.
For frequency-converting measurements, it is possible to set a constant frequency offset of ±150 MHz
between the receive frequency of the FSP and the output signal of the tracking generator. In addition,
I/Q modulation or AM and FM modulation of the output signal can be performed using two analog input
signals.
The output level is regulated and can be set between –30 dBm and 0 dBm in 0.1 dB steps.

External Generator Control (Option FSP-B10)
The external generator control option enables different commercial generators to be operated as a
tracking generator on the FSP. The generator is controlled via the optional second IEC/IEEE bus
interface of the FSP (= IEC2, supplied with the option) and via the TTL synchronizing interface contained
in the AUX interface of the FSP on some Rohde & Schwarz generators.

LAN Interface (Option FSP-B16)
The instrument can be connected to an Ethernet LAN (local area network) using the LAN interface
option. This option comprises a network card that can be operated with a 10 MHz Ethernet IEEE 802.3
or a 100 MHz Ethernet IEEE 802.3u.

DC Power Supply (Option FSP-B30)
With the DC power supply option, the FSP can be operated from a DC voltage of 10 to 28 V. A DC/DC
converter transforms the input voltage to a voltage of 120 to 360 VDC that can be directly processed by
the FSP power supply. The option is installed on the rear panel of the FSP.

Battery Pack (Option FSP-B31/32)
Option FSP-B31 is a battery pack for the FSP. If option FSP-B30 is installed, the FSP can be operated
independently of the AC supply for up to 2 hours (depending on model). The option comprises a
charger, two NiMH battery packs and an external power supply. The charger and the batteries are
accommodated in a housing that can be installed on the top of the FSP in no time.
The battery pack is charged by means of the power supply that is included. Option B32 is an additional
battery pack (without external power supply).

The keyboard consisting of a keyboard mat and a membrane release a contact when the rubber key is
pressed. Two LEDs for the STANDBY/ON key (orange for STANDBY/green for ON) are also
accommodated on this membrane.
The key evaluation and LED control are effected via a film cable connector on the controller board. Like
the control of the two LEDs, it is controlled in a special microprocessor on the controller board by means
of a matrix technique. This microprocessor permits to store the status of the STANDBY/ON key when
switching off using the power switch.

Instrument Design and Function Description

Power Supply Module
The power supply module provides all currents necessary for the operation of the FSP. It can be
switched off by means of the power switch on the rear panel.
The power supply module is a primary clocked switching power supply with Power Factor Correction
(PFC) and Standby circuit (+12 V Standby).On the secondary side, it generates DC voltages (+3.3 V;
+5.2 V; +6 V; +8 V; +12 V; +12 VFAN; +12 V Standby; +28 V; -12 V).
The control signal STANDBY/ON controlled by the front module controller (depending on the
STANDBY/ON key on the front of the instrument frame) activates the power supply. In standby
operation, it only supplies the 12V-standby voltage for the crystal oscillator and the LED STANDBY on
the front panel.
The secondary voltages are open-circuit-proof and short-circuit-proof with respect to ground and each
other.
An overtemperature protective circuit is additionally installed to prevent overheating. This status is taken
to the front module controller via a status signal (OT).
Fuses
Two fuses are also fitted in the power supply as a means of fire protection.
Note: These fuses are not accessible to the user from outside and are only blown in the case of a
serious fault of the power supply (servicing required!).

Motherboard
The motherboard generates the –6V supply for the analog boards with an integrated DC/DC-Converter.
The Noise source output (28V Noise Source) is also generated on this board.
All external supplies (Probe, Keyboard,...) are protected by polyswitches (current-dependent, selfopening and closing fuses) or electronically against external short circuit.
On the motherboard a circuit for temperature-dependent instrument fan control is also implemented.

Probe / Keyboard
The probe / keyboard board is located at the front of the instrument frame and serves for supply and
connection of the connectors located at the front panel, the KEYBOARD (PS/2) and a PROBE POWER
connector. For connection with motherboard a ribbon cable is used.

Volume / Phones
This board is only fitted with option FSP-B3 (AF-demodulator).
The volume/phones board is located at the front of the instrument frame and is used to connect the
rotary encoder for the Volume setting of the AF-Demodulator and the Headphones connector with the
motherboard.
For connection with the motherboard a 10-pin ribbon cable is used.

Troubleshooting - Loading Module EEPROMs

Error: Data of modules cannot be read.
Normal action

Error and error cause

On booting the instrument all calibration data
required must be written into the RAM of the
computer. The calibration data of a module is read
from the EEPROM in the case of a cold start,
otherwise from the associated binary file.
In the case of a cold start, it is checked for each
module identified by the software whether the
EEPROM can be read.
If reading at the desired address is not possible,
the software assumes that the module is not
available.

For modules that must always be available (e.g.
IF filter) an error message will be output:

Error reading EEPROM of IF Filter
The calibration data are then read from the file
pertaining to the module (e.g. iffilt.bin).

If error-free reading of the binary file is not
possible either, an error message is output again.
Error reading file of IF Filter

If reading at the address of an optional module is
not possible, this module is marked as not
available in the module array for storage of the
module information.
If the file pertaining to the non-available module
does exist, it is assumed that upon the last
successful booting the module was available but
has been removed meanwhile. The file with the
calibration data of the module is erased.
Moreover the data collected during the last
calibration are invalid and only saved as a
backup copy on the hard disk
If reading at the address of a module is possible
but the contents of the data block faulty (e.g.
check sum of header block incorrect), the
calibration data of the respective module are
read from the associated file. The firmware
assumes that the module is available.

Troubleshooting

Normal action

Error and error cause

Upon successful reading of the module header
from the EEPROM the contents of the module
header is entered into the array for storing the
module information. The module header read
from the EEPROM is compared with the module
header of the associated binary file. If the module
header can be read from the file and agrees with
the header read from the EEPROM it is assumed
that the contents of the module EEPROM has
already been mapped in the binary file. The
calibration data can thus be written from the file to
the RAM.

If however the associated file cannot be found or
if the module header of the EEPROM differs from
that of the file, the total EEPROM contents must
be written to the RAM and then saved in the
binary file.
Error finding file of IF Filter

After loading the calibration data from the
EEPROMs, the calibration data are loaded from
the calibration data files (e.g. DDC settings for
various filters). First the relevant calibration data
file is written to the calibration data memory.

If an error occurs upon loading the file into the
memory, an error message is output:
Error reading file of DDC Filter

Upon successful loading of the calibration data file
the latter is compared with its backup copy on the
hard disk.
After loading the calibration data from the
EEPROMs and files, the data collected during the
last calibration are loaded from the ‘rdf_cal.bin’ file
into the calibration data memory. This process
takes only place if valid calibration data (and the
‘rdf_cal.bin’ file) are available.

SKIPPED. These entries indicate that a test item was not performed because
the preconditions were not observed. In that case, it is an error only if it was
also not possible to calibrate the instrument.
The selftest with a password yields FAILED as the overall status, as it will
relatively soon no longer be possible to calibrate the instrument due to a

Selftest Design and Error Messages
Overview
The calibration source on the IF-filter module is used as signal source for testing the signal path.
1. Measurement of the operating voltages
a) of the power supply
b) regulated operating voltages on the detector and IF-filter modules
2. Temperature measurement on the IF-filter board
3. Testing the fourfold D/A converter on the detector
4. Test of the reference signals on the Standard Frontend (modules 1 and 2) and on the IF filter
modules
5. Synthesizer test on the frontend module
6. Testing of the signal paths on all boards
7. Test of optional modules

All measurements on the analog boards are independent of the gate arrays on the detector board, since
individual A/D converters are provided for them on the analog boards. The interface section in the FPGA
of the detector board must function properly to read these A/D converters. This is always tested with
switching on the instrument.
The signal path via the gate arrays on the detector board is tested using a known, analog signal at the
input of the A/D converter on the detector board. The analog test signal is provided by the preceding
analog tests.
Since the operating voltages are measured first, it is ensured that the selftest can be performed
correctly. If an operating voltage failed which is not required by the selftest this is correctly signalled in
the error list. If, however, all operating voltages are indicated to be faulty, it may well be assumed that
the operating voltage for the selftest has failed or the selftest A/D-converter itself is defective.

The error message indicates the error source (power supply, IF filter, detector board) and the voltage
which failed.

The IF filter board must be replaced in any
case, if an error message occurs which refers
to these operating voltages or the
temperature (if not plausible).
The voltage of the temperature sensor is
used for temperature compensation of the
filters. Thus, a faulty temperature sensor may
detune the filters such that subsequent errors
are likely to occur.

Errors detected do not cause abortion of the test. However, the subsequent checking of the signal path
in the IF filter and detector boards is skipped, since there is no local oscillator provided to convert the
128-MHz calibration signal to the 20.4-MHz IF required for the tests.

Shipping of Instrument and Ordering of Spare Parts

Documents

This chapter provides information on the ordering of spare parts and contains the spare parts list and
the documents for the complete FSP unit.

Shipping of Instrument and Ordering of Spare Parts
Please contact your Rohde & Schwarz support center or our spare parts express service if you need
service or repair of your equipment or to order spare parts and modules.
The list of the Rohde & Schwarz representatives and the address of our spare parts express service are
provided at the beginning of this service manual.
We require the following information in order to answer your inquiry fast and correctly and to decide
whether the warranty still applies for your instrument:
• Instrument model
• Stock No.
• Serial number
• Firmware version
• Detailed error description in case of repair
• Contact partner for checkbacks

Shipping of Instrument
When shipping the instrument, be careful to provide for sufficient mechanical and antistatic protection
Ø Repack the instrument as it was originally packed when transporting or shipping. The two protective
caps for the front and rear panels prevent the control elements and connectors from being damaged.
The antistatic packing foil avoids any undesired electrostatic charging to occur.
Ø If you do not use the original packaging, provide for sufficient padding to prevent the instrument from
slipping inside the package. Wrap antistatic packing foil around the instrument to protect it from
electrostatic charging.

Shipping of a Module
When shipping a module, then, also be also careful to provide for sufficient mechanical and antistatical
protection
Ø Ship the module in a sturdy, padded box.
Ø Wrap the board into antistatic foil.
If the packaging is only antistatic but not conductive, additional conductive packaging is required. The
additional packaging is not required if the enclosed packaging is conductive.
Exception:
If the module contains a battery, the tightly fitting packaging must always consist of
antistatic, non-chargeable material to protect the battery from being discharged.

Ordering Spare Parts
To deliver replacement parts promptly and correctly we need the following indications:
• Stock number (see component lists in this chapter)
• Designation
• Component number according to component list
• Number of pieces
• Instrument type the replacement part belongs to
• Stock No.
• Contact person for possible questions
The stock numbers necessary for ordering replacement parts and modules as well as power cables can
be found further down.

Refurbished Modules
Refurbished modules are an economic alternative for original modules. It should be kept in mind that
refurbished modules are not new, but repaired and fully tested parts. They may have traces from use
but they are electrically and mechanically equivalent to new modules.
To find out which refurbished modules are available, please refer to your Rohde & Schwarz
representative (or to the central service division, Rohde & Schwarz Munich).

Return of Defective Replaced Modules
Defective modules of the replacement program that can be repaired can be returned within 3
months after delivery of the replaced module. A repurchasing value is credited.
Excluded are parts which can not be repaired, e.g. PCBs that are burnt, broken or damaged by repair
attempts, incomplete modules, parts which are heavily damaged mechanically.
The defective parts must be sent back with a returned accompanying document containing the
following information:
• Stock number, serial number and designation of the dismounted part,
• Precise description of the error,
• Stock number, serial number and designation of the instrument the part was dismounted from,
• Date of dismounting,
• Name of the technician who exchanged the part.
A returned accompanying document is provided with each replacement module.
