Spectrum Analyzer RSA306 USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer Datasheet MATLAB instrument driver for use with Instrument Control Toolbox Streaming capture records long-term events Applications Academic/education Maintenance, installation and repair in the factory or field Value-conscious design and manufacturing Interference hunting 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 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 Captures interference to ensure that you see problems first time, every time Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration specifications for use in harsh conditions Key features Full-featured spectrum analysis capability with included Tektronix SignalVu-PC™ software 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. SignalVu-PC™ software and an API for deep analysis and fast programmatic interaction The RSA306 operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program that is the basis of Tektronix performance signal analyzers. SignalVu-PC offers a deep analysis capability previously unavailable in value-priced solutions. Real-time processing of the DPX spectrum/spectrogram is enabled in your 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 interface (API) that provides a rich set of commands and measurements. A MATLAB driver for the API is available, enabling operation with MATLAB and the Instrument Control Toolbox. 27 spectrum and signal analysis measurements standard Options for mapping, modulation analysis, WLAN and Bluetooth standards support, pulse measurements, playback of recorded files, 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

RSA306 USB Spectrum Analyzer Measurements included in SignalVu-PC base version The RSA306 with SignalVu-PC offers basic and advanced measurements for field and lab Basic functionality of the free SignalVu-PC program is far from basic. The table below summarizes the measurements included in the free SignalVuPC software. See what you've never seen before: The 40 MHz real time bandwidth of the RSA306 combined with the processing power of SignalVu-PC shows you every signal, even down to 100 μs in duration. The following image shows a WLAN transmission (green and orange), and the narrow signals...

EMI pre-compliance and diagnostic measurements are easy with the RSA306 and SignalVu-PC. Transducer, antenna, preamplifier, and cable gain/loss can be entered and stored in correction files, and the standard spurious measurement feature of SignalVu-PC can be used to establish limit lines for your test. The following illustration shows a test from 400 MHz to 1 GHz with the test limit shown in green. Violations are recorded in the results table of the test below the graph, and the control panel for external loss entry is shown. CISPR peak detection and -6 dB filter bandwidths are standard...

SignalVu-PC application SV26 enables quick, standards-based transmitter health checks on APCO P25 signals. The following image shows a Phase II signal being monitored for anomalies with the spectrum analyzer while performing transmitter power, modulation and frequency measurements. Sophisticated WLAN measurements are easy. On the following 802.11g signal display below, the spectrogram shows the initial pilot sequence followed by the main signal burst. The modulation is automatically detected as 64 QAM for the packet and displayed as a constellation. The data summary indicates an EVM of...

The Cell ID preset displays the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in a Constellation diagram. It also provides Frequency Error. The ACLR preset measures the E-UTRA and the UTRA adjacent channels, with different chip rates for UTRA. ACLR also supports Noise Correction based on the noise measured when there is no input. Both ACLR and SEM will operate in swept mode (default) or in faster single acquisition (real-time) when the measurement bandwidth required is less than 40 MHz. Playback of recorded signals can reduce hours of watching and...
