Tektronix RSA503A

Tektronix RSA503AThe Tektronix RSA503A USB Spectrum Analyser offers high performance portable spectrum analysis in a rugged battery-powered package.Features and benefits of the Tektronix RSA503A Spectrum Analyser include:

9 kHz to 3.0 GHz frequency range covers a broad range of analysis needs

40 MHz acquisition bandwidth enables real time analysis for transient capture and vector analysis

Standard GPS/GLONASS/Beidou receiver for mapping

Optional tracking generator for gain/loss, antenna and cable measurements

Streaming capture can be used to record and play back long term events

Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration specifications for use in harsh conditions

Internal battery for extended field operations

SignalVu-PC software offers real time signal processing with DPX Spectrum/Spectrogram to minimize time spent on transient and interference hunting

100 μsec minimum signal duration with 100% probability of intercept ensure you see problems first time, every time

Application programming interface included for development of custom programs

Accessories including tablet PC, calibration kits, adapters and phase-stable cables offer a complete field solution for interference hunting and transmitter maintenance

The Tek RSA503A USB Spectrum Analyser was built to bring real-time spectrum analysis to solving the problems of spectrum managers, interference hunters and network maintenance personnel who need to track down hard to find interferers, maintain RF networks and keep records of their efforts. The heart of the system is the USB-based RF spectrum Analyser that captures 40 MHz bandwidths with great fidelity in harsh environments. With 70 dB dynamicrange and frequency coverage to 3 GHz, all signals of interest can be examined with high confidence in your measurement results. The USB form factor moves the weight of the instrument off of your hands, and replaces it with a lightweight Windows tablet or laptop. Holding a light PC instead of a heavy spectrum Analyser means you can move faster, for longer, and get your work done faster.The optional tracking generator enables gain/loss measurements for quick tests of filters, duplexers and other network elements, and you can add
cable and antenna measurements of VSWR, return loss, distance to fault and cable loss as needed.Tek RSA503A operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program used as the basis of Tek’s traditional spectrum Analysers. SignalVu-PC offers a deep analysis capability previously unavailable in high performance batteryoperated solutions. Real-time processing of the DPX spectrum/spectrogramis enabled in your PC, further reducing the cost of hardware. Users 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 directly. Basic functionality of the free SignalVu-PC program is far from basic
