Key Features
The RSA6100A Series and RSA5100A Series are a family of high-performance real-time analyzers. Key features include:
Digital Phosphor Spectrum analysis, which greatly reduces the amount of time to recognize and identify a fault
DPX Density triggering to easily capture instabilities, transients and hidden signals that are impossible for other signal
analyzers to catch
Conventional spectrum analysis controls and functions including fast tuning, markers, phase noise, spurious and
other measurements
Easy event-based capture of transient RF signals by triggering on changes in the frequency domain using
Tektronix-exclusive Frequency Mask Triggering
Time domain triggering capability: Runt Triggers, Holdoff Trigger, and Time Quali fi cation to all of the instrument triggers
(Option 200)
Multi-domain displays that provide an intuitive understanding of time-varying RF signals
Conventional Vector Signal Analysis capability available (Option 21) with modulation analysis for >20 popular modulation
formats
Seamless capture of signals in up to 110 MHz spans (RSA6100A Series) or 85 MHz spans (RSA5100A Series)
