RSA Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers
www.tektronix.com/rsa
Today’s RF signals change over time, often unpredictably. To effectively characterize these signals, you need a
tool that can discover and trigger on both known and unpredictable events, capture the signals seamlessly
into memory, and analyze the behavior of frequency, amplitude, and modulation parameters over time. Using
traditional tools like swept spectrum analyzers and vector signal analyzers might provide snapshots of the signal
in the frequency and modulation domains, but this is often not enough information to confidently describe the
dynamic RF signals produced by the device under test. By providing insight into how parameters change over
continuous time, the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer adds another crucial dimension to all of these measurements.
Complex RF Problems
RSA3300A Series
With a single acquisition, the RSA3300A Series
captures a continuous time record of changing
RF events and enable time-correlated analysis
in the frequency, time and modulation domains.
RSA3408A Series
Get fast resolution to complex problems with
enhanced triggering, more capture bandwidth
and great analysis tools with the RSA3408A.
