Spectrum Analyzer RSA306 USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer Datasheet Applications Academic/education Maintenance, installation and repair in the factory or field Value-conscious design and manufacturing Interference hunting The RSA306: a new class of instrument The RSA306 offers full-featured spectrum analysis and deep signal analysis at a price unmatched by any previous offering. Using the latest in commercial interfaces and available computing power, the RSA306 separates signal acquisition from measurement, dramatically lowering the cost of instrument hardware. Data analysis, storage and replay is performed on your personal computer, tablet or laptop. Managing the PC separately from the acquisition hardware makes processing upgrades easy, and minimizes IT management issues. The RSA306 uses your PC and Tektronix SignalVu -PC RF Signal Analysis Software to provide real time spectrum analysis, streaming capture and deep signal analysis capabilities for signals from 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz, all in a SignalVu-PC software and an API for deep low-cost, highly portable package that is ideal for field, factory, or academic analysis and fast programmatic interaction use. The RSA306 operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program that is the Key performance specifications basis of Tektronix performance signal analyzers. SignalVu-PC offers a deep analysis capability previously unavailable in value-priced solutions. 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz frequency range covers a broad range of analysis Real-time processing of the DPX spectrum/spectrogram is enabled in your needs PC, further reducing the cost of hardware. Customers who need +20 dBm to -160 dBm measurement range programmatic access to the instrument can choose either the SignalVu-PC programmatic interface or use the included application programming Captures interference to ensure that you see problems first time, every interface (API) that provides a rich set of commands and measurements. A time MATLAB driver for the API is available, enabling operation with MATLAB Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration and the Instrument Control Toolbox. specifications for use in harsh conditions Key features Full-featured spectrum analysis capability with included Tektronix SignalVu -PC software 27 spectrum and signal analysis measurements standard Options for mapping, modulation analysis, standards support, pulse measurements, and frequency 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 Streaming capture records long-term events www.tektronix.com 1RSA306 USB Spectrum Analyzer Measurements included in SignalVu-PC base SignalVu-PC application-specific options version SignalVu-PC offers a wealth of application-oriented measurement and Basic functionality of the free SignalVu-PC program is far from basic. The analysis options including: table below summarizes the measurements included in the free SignalVu- General-purpose modulation analysis (27 modulation types including PC software. 16/32/64/256 QAM, QPSK, O-QPSK, GMSK, FSK, APSK) General signal analysis P25 analysis of phase I and phase 2 signals Spectrum analyzer Spans from 100 Hz to 6.2 GHz Three traces plus math and spectrogram WLAN analysis of 802.11a/b/g/j/p, 802.11n, 802.11ac trace Mapping and signal strength Five markers with power, relative power, integrated power, power density and Pulse analysis dBc/Hz functions AM/FM/PM/Direct Audio Measurement including SINAD, THD DPX Spectrum/Spectrogram Real time display of spectrum with 100% probability of intercept of 100 sec See the separate SignalVu-PC datasheet for complete details and ordering signals in up to 40 MHz span information. Amplitude, frequency, phase vs. time, Basic vector analysis functions RF I and Q vs. time Time Overview/Navigator Enables easy setting of acquisition and The RSA306 with SignalVu-PC offers basic analysis times for deep analysis in and advanced measurements for field and lab multiple domains See what you ve never seen before: The 40 MHz real time bandwidth of the Spectrogram Analyze and re-analyze your signal with RSA306 combined with the processing power of SignalVu-PC shows you a 2-D or 3-D waterfall display every signal, even down to 100 s in duration. The following image shows a AM/FM listening Hear, and record to file, FM and AM WLAN transmission (green and orange), and the narrow signals that repeat signals across the screen are a Bluetooth access probe. The spectrogram (upper Analog modulation analysis part of the screen) clearly separates these signals in time to show any AM, FM, PM analysis Measures key AM, FM, PM parameters signal collisions. RF measurements Spurious measurement User-defined limit lines and regions provide automatic spectrum violation testing across the entire range of the instrument Spectrum emission mask User-defined or standards-specific masks Occupied Bandwidth Measures 99% power, -xdB down points Channel Power and ACLR Variable channel and adjacent/alternate channel parameters MCPR Sophisticated, flexible multi-channel power measurements CCDF Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function plots the statistical variations in signal level 2 www.tektronix.com
