Spectrum Analyzers RSA6000 Series-2

Data Sheet 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 a high-performance signal analyzer is not sufcient to meet the demands of today’s hopping, transient signals. Revolutionary DPX® spectrum display reveals transient signal behavior that helps you discover instability, glitches, and interference. Here, an infrequently occurring transient is seen in detail. The frequency of occurrence is color-graded, indicating the infrequent transient event in blue and the...

Spectrum Analyzers RSA6000 Series-3

Spectrum Analyzers — RSA6000 Series triggering when a frequency domain event lasts for a specied time. Runt triggers capture troublesome infrequent pulses that either turn on or turn off to an incorrect level, greatly reducing time to fault. DPX Density™ Trigger works on the measured frequency of occurrence or density of the DPX display. The unique Trigger On This™ function allows the user to simply point at the signal of interest on the DPX display, and a trigger level is automatically set to trigger slightly below the measured density level. You can capture low-level signals in the presence...
