Spectrum Analyzer RSA306B USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer Datasheet - 1

DataVu-PC software enables multi-unit recording in variable bandwidths 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 Three year warranty The RSA306B 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 low-cost, highly portable package that is ideal for field, factory, or academic use. Key performance specifications • 9 kHz to 6.2 GHz frequency range covers a broad range of analysis needs • +20 dBm to -160 dBm measurement range • Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration specifications for use in harsh conditions • Fast sweeps (2 per second) over entire 6.2 GHz span for quick detection of unknown signals • Acquisition bandwidth of 40 MHz enables wideband vector analysis of modern standards 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 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 RSA306B 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 computer upgrades easy, and minimizes IT management issues. • Minimum signal duration as short as 27 |jsec captured with 100% probability of intercept Key features • Full-featured spectrum analysis capability with included Tektronix SignalVu-PC™ software • 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 • EMC/EMI pre-compliance and troubleshooting - CISPR detectors, predefined standards, limit lines, easy accessory setup, ambient capture, failure analysis, and report generation

Spectrum Analyzer RSA306B USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer Datasheet - 3

Monitoring has never been easier. Spectrum mask testing captures detail of transients found in the frequency domain, such as intermittent interference. Mask testing can be set to stop acquisition, save acquisition, save a picture, and send an audible alert. The following image shows a spectrum mask (in orange on the spectrum display) created to monitor a band of frequencies for violations. A single transient of 125 μs duration has occurred that violated the mask, with the violation shown in red. The transient is clearly seen on the spectrogram above the red violation area (circled)....

Application SV28 enables the following LTE base station transmitter measurements: The signal classification application (SV54) enables expert systems guidance to aid the user in classifying signals. It provides graphical tools that allow you to quickly create a spectral region of interest, enabling you to classify and sort signals efficiently. The spectral profile mask, when overlaid on top of a trace, provides signal shape guidance, while frequency, bandwidth, channel number, and location are displayed allowing for quick checks. WLAN, GSM, W-CDMA, CDMA, Bluetooth standard and enhanced data...

Spectrum Analyzer RSA306B USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer Datasheet - 6

SignalVu-PC with mapping can be used to manually indicate the azimuth of a measurement made in the field, greatly aiding in triangulation efforts. The addition of a smart antenna able to report its direction to SignalVu-PC automates this process. Automatically plotting the azimuth/bearing of a measurement during interference hunting can greatly speed the time spent searching for the source of interference. Tektronix offers the Alaris DFA0047 handheld direction finding antenna with frequency coverage from 20 MHz -8.5 GHz (optional 9 kHz-20 MHz) as part of a complete interference hunting...
