Spectrum Analyzer RSA306B USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer Datasheet Streaming capture records long-term events Three year warranty Applications Academics/education Maintenance, installation and repair in the factory or field Value-conscious design and manufacturing Interference hunting The RSA306B: a new class of instrument The RSA306B uses your PC and Tektronix SignalVu-PC RF Signal Analysis Software to provide real time spectrum analysis, streaming The RSA306B offers full-featured spectrum analysis and deep signal capture and deep signal analysis capabilities for signals from 9 kHz to analysis at a price unmatched by any previous offering. Using the latest in 6.2 GHz, all in a low-cost, highly portable package that is ideal for field, commercial interfaces and available computing power, the RSA306B factory, or academic use. separates signal acquisition from measurement, dramatically lowering the cost of instrument hardware. Data analysis, storage and replay is Key performance specifications performed on your personal computer, tablet or laptop. Managing the PC separately from the acquisition hardware makes computer upgrades easy, 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz frequency range covers a broad range of analysis and minimizes IT management issues. needs +20 dBm to -160 dBm measurement range SignalVu-PC software and an API for deep Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration analysis and fast programmatic interaction specifications for use in harsh conditions The RSA306B operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program that is the Acquisition bandwidth of 40 MHz enables wideband vector analysis of basis of Tektronix performance signal analyzers. SignalVu-PC offers a modern standards deep analysis capability previously unavailable in value-priced solutions. Minimum signal duration of 100 sec captured with 100% probability of Real-time processing of the DPX spectrum/spectrogram is enabled in your intercept PC, further reducing the cost of hardware. Customers who need programmatic access to the instrument can choose either the SignalVu-PC programmatic interface or use the included application programming Key features interface (API) that provides a rich set of commands and measurements. A Full-featured spectrum analysis capability with included Tektronix MATLAB driver for the API is available, enabling operation with MATLAB SignalVu-PC software and the Instrument Control Toolbox. 17 spectrum and signal analysis measurement displays enable dozens of measurement types Options for mapping, modulation analysis, WLAN, LTE, and Bluetooth standards support, pulse measurements, playback of recorded files, signal survey, and frequency/phase settling Real time Spectrum/Spectrogram display to minimize time spent on transient and interference hunting Application programming interface (API) included for Microsoft Windows environments MATLAB instrument driver for use with Instrument Control Toolbox www.tek.com 1Datasheet Measurements included in SignalVu-PC base The RSA306B with SignalVu-PC offers basic version and advanced measurements for field and lab Basic functionality of the free SignalVu-PC program is far from basic. The See what you ve never seen before: The 40 MHz real time bandwidth of the table below summarizes the measurements included in the free SignalVu- RSA306B combined with the processing power of SignalVu-PC shows you PC software. every signal, even down to 100 s in duration. The following image shows a WLAN transmission (green and orange), and the narrow signals that repeat General signal analysis across the screen are a Bluetooth access probe.

Spectrum mask testing captures detail of provide automatic spectrum violation transients found in the frequency domain, such as intermittent interference. testing across the entire range of the Mask testing can be set to stop acquisition, save acquisition, save a instrument picture, and send an audible alert. The following image shows a spectrum Spectrum emission mask User-defined or standards-specific mask (in orange on the spectrum display) created to monitor a band of masks frequencies for violations. A single transient of 125 s duration has occurred that violated the mask, with the violation shown in red. The Occupied Bandwidth Measures 99% power, -xdB down points transient is clearly seen on the spectrogram above the red violation area Channel Power and ACLR Variable channel and adjacent/alternate (circled). channel parameters MCPR Sophisticated, flexible multi-channel power measurements CCDF Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function plots the statistical variations in signal level 2 www.tek.com
