The pre-owned R&S FPC1500 condenses spectrum analysis, tracking-generation and single-port VNA capability into a 3 kg benchtop unit. Its base 5 kHz-1 GHz coverage can be extended to 3 GHz via keycodes, protecting budgets and calibration cycles. With 1 Hz RBW, ≤ -146 dBm noise floor (-165 dBm with the optional pre-amp) and < -90 dBc/Hz phase noise, the instrument confidently uncovers spurs and characterises low-power IoT, WLAN and EMI signatures. USB, LAN and built-in Wi-Fi enable browser-based remote control, while the integrated VSWR bridge streamlines cable and antenna checks without extra fixtures.

Delivered fully tested, freshly calibrated and firmware-current, this second-hand analyzer offers immediate availability and substantial cost savings versus new entry-level hardware, without sacrificing Rohde & Schwarz reliability or future upgrade paths.
