Real Time Spectrum Analyzer (1 Hz - 26.5 GHz)

The Tektronix RSA5000 Series Real Time Signal Analyzers replace conventional instruments, offering the measurement confidence and functionality you demand for everyday tasks. The RSA5000 Series offers industry-leading real time specifications and includes best minimum signal duration for 100% probability of intercept and best real time dynamic range. With the RSA5000 Series instruments, you get the functionality of a high-performance spectrum analyzer, wideband vector signal analyzer, and the unique trigger-capture-analyze capability of a real-time spectrum analyzer - all in a single package.

High performance spectrum and vector signal analysis, and much more

The RSA5000 Series replaces conventional high-performance signal analyzers, offering the measurement confidence and functionality you demand for everyday tasks. A +17 dBm TOI and -157 dBm/Hz DANL at 2 GHz gives you the dynamic range you expect for challenging spectrum analysis measurements. All analysis is fully preselected and image free. You never have to compromise between dynamic range and analysis bandwidth by 'switching out the preselector'.

A complete toolset of power and signal statistics measurements are standard, including Channel Power, ACLR, CCDF, Occupied Bandwidth, AM/FM/PM, and Spurious measurements. Available Phase Noise and General Purpose Modulation Analysis measurements round out the expected set of high-performance analysis tools.

But, just being an excellent mid-range signal analyzer is not sufficient to meet the demands of today's hopping, transient signals.

The RSA5000 Series will help you to easily discover design issues that other signal analyzers may miss. The revolutionary DPX spectrum display offers an intuitive live color view of signal transients changing over time in the frequency domain, giving you immediate confidence in the stability of your design, or instantly displaying a fault when it occurs. Once a problem is discovered with DPX, the RSA5000 Series spectrum analyzers can be set to trigger on the event, capture a contiguous time record of changing RF events, and perform time-correlated analysis in all domains. You get the functionality of a high-performance spectrum analyzer, wideband vector signal analyzer, and the unique trigger-capture-analyze capability of a real time spectrum analyzer - all in a single package.

Revolution DPX spectrum display reveals transient signal behavior that helps you discover instability, glitches, and interference. Here, three distinct signals can be seen. Two high-level signals of different frequency-of-occurrence are seen in light and dark blue, and a third signal beneath the center signal can also be discerned. The DPX Density trigger allows the user to acquire signals for analysis only when this third signal is present. Trigger On This has been activated, and a density measurement box is automatically opened, measuring a signal density 7.275%, Any signal density greater than the measured value will cause a trigger event.

Outstanding RF performance, everyday

With its outstanding RF performance, generous feature set and easily accessible standard controls, you can rely on the RSA5000B every day. The impressive sweep speed with high sensitivity lets you complete a 10 GHz span sweep with a noise floor of -110 dBm/Hz in just 22 seconds, and multiple traces, markers and standard measurements are always at the ready.

• Familiar, independent controls: RBW, VBW, Quasi Peak detector, Zero-Span
• Comprehensive measurements: Channel Power, OBW, ACRL, Spurious, CCDF, Spectrogram
