Innovative Tools. Excellent Service.
The R&S® Spectrum Rider FPH is designed to suit both field and lab applications in indoor and in outdoor environments. Large buttons and a multifunction rotary control allow operation even with gloves. Its backlit keypad makes the analyzer also usable in the dark, and the bright nonreflecting display makes it readable in the sunshine. The battery lasts an entire working day. The light weight, its small form factor and its ruggedness make the analyzer easy to carry. It is a reliable companion even in harsh and difficult-to-reach environments.
The small form factor does not limit the performance and capabilities of the R&S® Spectrum Rider FPH. Thanks to its solid RF performance, its short boot time and its ease of use, the R&S® Spectrum Rider FPH is the perfect instrument for spectrum measurements in the lab or in service applications.
The state-of-the-art touchscreen allows operation using smartphone-like touch gestures. An on-screen keyboard and many other functions make the life of the user easier.

Special Features
Rugged and appealing design
The R&S® Spectrum Rider FPH is designed to suit both field and lab applications in indoor and in outdoor environments. Large buttons and a multifunction rotary control allow operation even with gloves. Its backlit keypad makes the analyzer also usable in the dark, and the bright non-reflecting display makes it readable in the sunshine. The battery lasts an entire working day. The light weight, its small form factor and its ruggedness make the analyzer easy to carry. It is a reliable companion even in harsh and difficult-to-reach environments.
Solid RF performance for diagnostics in the lab
With a phase noise of –105 dBc (1 Hz) at 100 kHz offset from the carrier, a total measurement uncertainty of 0.5 dB and its high sensitivity (displayed average noise level (DANL) of typ. < –163 dBm up to 3 GHz), the R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH is a powerful and easy-to-use spectrum analyzer for RF diagnostics in service and development labs.
Examples of measurements in the lab:
- Frequency and amplitude of any RF device
- Accurate frequency readings with the frequency counter, e.g. for alignment of frequency references
- Measurement of spurious emissions
- Measurement of harmonics and intermodulation products
- Measurement of pulsed signals in the time domain
User-friendly
The R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH offers flexible and straight forward operation. Depending on the application, it can be operated either via its 18 cm (7") capacitive touchscreen or with keys.
The analyzer's unique capacitive touchscreen enables users to adjust the most common settings, such as center frequency, span and reference level, and manage markers with intuitive gestures as with a smartphone.
Excellent in the field
The unique combination of low weight, small footprint, short boot time and the longest battery life on the market make the R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH ideal for work in the field, even in remote, difficult-to-reach locations.
The R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH can operate an entire working day (more than 8 hours) without recharging or changing the battery. It weighs only 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) including battery.
The 18 cm diameter (7") display is nonreflective, i.e. it shows the measurement result and not a mirror image of the operator. The black-and-white mode makes it readable in bright sunlight. The keypad can be illuminated for convenient work in dim environments. Large buttons and a rotary knob with enter function make it easy to operate the instrument even when wearing gloves.
Postprocessing and remote control
The R&S® Instrument View Windows software comes with the instrument. It makes it easy to postprocess and document measurement results and manage instrument settings.
- Fast data exchange between the R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH and a PC via USB or LAN connection
- Easy processing of measurement results
- Easy creation of test reports in PDF, HTML and RTF format
- Printout of all relevant data via Windows tablet or PC
- Editing of measurement results by displaying/hiding and shifting markers or limit lines, etc.
- Editor for generating limit lines, antenna factors and transducer factors for external attenuators and amplifiers as well as channel lists
- Compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista (32/64 bit), Windows 7 (32/64 bit), Windows 8 (32/64 bit) and Windows 10
The R&S®Spectrum Rider FPH can be remotely controlled via the USB or LAN interface and integrated into userspecific programs. SCPI-compatible remote control commands are available as standard.
