Rohde & Schwarz is introducing the new R&S FNH at electronica trade fair in Munich. Spectrum analysis is the standard feature of the new handheld combi analyzer. All additional functions, such as real-time spectrum analysis (RTSA), a cable and antenna tester (CAT) and a two-port VNA, can be activated through keycodes. The instrument also supports integration with a USB power sensor from Rohde & Schwarz for power measurements, as well as optional pulse analysis.
Its real-time bandwidth of up to 125 MHz is industry-leading for a handheld combi analyzer. This allows for a shorter intercept time of 3.6 µs. In addition, the R&S FNH provides a low displayed average noise level and a low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) across its frequency ranges.
Built for aerospace and defense applications
The R&S FNH is designed for aerospace and defense applications. It meets IP51 protection requirements and operates between -10 °C and +55 °C. An optional rain holster increases the protection to IP54, so it is suitable for confined or harsh environments. These features make it ideal for installation, maintenance and calibration of radar systems, satellite ground stations and communication systems in the field, as well as for interference hunting and spectrum monitoring.
Beyond field use, its compact design supports laboratory R&D and education applications. The device works with the R&S VSE software for signal demodulation analysis. A channel scanner automates measurements across predefined lists, while an integrated power meter provides peak and average power readings.
The new R&S FNH handheld combi analyzer replaces the R&S FSH and R&S ZVH models. It is available in three hardware versions, covering frequency ranges up to 6 GHz, 13 GHz and 26.5 GHz, which can be expanded up to 8 GHz, 20 GHz and the 26.5 GHz model up to 32 GHz for spectrum analysis.
Michael Fischlein, Vice President RF Test Solutions at Rohde & Schwarz, states:
“With the R&S FNH handheld combi analyzer, Rohde & Schwarz presents a worthy successor to the legendary R&S FSH and R&S ZVH handheld analyzers. The device combines the widest real-time bandwidth in its class with a comprehensive feature set for spectrum analysis and two-port VNA measurements. Outstanding RF performance and versatile measurement functions make the R&S FNH a complete measurement lab in pocket format.”
Rohde & Schwarz will present the R&S FNH handheld combi analyzer for the first time to the public at electronica, booth A4.307 from November 10 to 13, 2026, in Munich. It is available from Rohde & Schwarz and selected distribution partners and comes with a standard three-year warranty.
