About Tektronix Spectrum Analyzers Your Tektronix Spectrum Analyzer
Your Tektronix Spectrum Analyzer
The RSA6100A 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 con
fi dence in the stability of your design,
or instantly displaying a fault when it occurs. This live display of transients is impossible with other
signal analyzers. Once a problem is discovered with DPX, the RSA6100A Series of Real-Time Spectrum
Analyzers (RTSA) can be set to trigger on the event, capture a continuous time record of changing RF
events and perform time-correlated analysis in all domains. You get the functionality of a wideband vector
signal analyzer, a spectrum analyzer and the unique trigger-capture-analyze capability of a Real-Time
Spectrum Analyzer — all in a single package.
Discover
DPX Minimum Event Time Capture: 24 μ s (option 110), 31 μ s (standard); 10.3 μ s (option 110 +
option 200), 24 μ s (option 200).
Trigger
Tektronix exclusive 40 MHz and 110 MHz DPX Density and Frequency Mask triggers offer easy
event-based capture of transient RF signals by triggering on any change in the frequency domain.
Capture
All signals within a 110 MHz bandwidth span are captured into memory (Option 110 only, 40 MHz
acquisition bandwidth standard).
Up to 1.7 seconds acquisition length at 110 MHz bandwidth provides complete analysis over time
without making multiple acquisitions.
Analyze
Extensive time-correlated multi-domain displays connect problems in time, frequency, phase and
amplitude for quicker understanding of cause and effect when troubleshooting.
Power measurements and signal statistics help you characterize components and systems: ACLR,
Multi-Carrier ACLR, Power vs. Time, CCDF, Phase Noise, and Spurious.
Advanced Measurement Suite (Opt. 20): Pulse measurements including rise time, pulse width, duty,
ripple, power, frequency and phase provide deep insight into pulse train behavior.
General Purpose Digital Modulation Analysis (Opt. 21): Provides vector signal analyzer functionality.
