Tektronix RSA306 USB Spectrum Analyzer

The Tektronix RSA306 is a low cost, PC based USB Real Time Spectrum Analyzer designed to operate in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 6.2GHz. This compact instrument offers a wide range of in-depth signal analysis and spectrum analysis capabilities at an unmatched price. With this model, the user can have the data analysis, replay, and storage performed on a standard personal computer or other smart devices such as a tablet or laptop. This model comes equipped with Tektronix’s SignalVu-PC™ program, with 27 conventional signal analysis and spectrum measurements. Users can rely upon this instrument for their daily analysis requirements across RF Communications, Maintenance, Repair, Sensing and Instrumentation, and other applications.

This smart instrument features options for standards support, frequency settling, mapping, modulation, and pulse measurements. For advanced users coming with a programmatic approach, the integrated application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows environments brings great opportunities. The Tektronix RSA306 can perform measurements in a range of +20 dBm to -160 dBm. For advanced measurements across LTE base station transmitters, the user can employ this instrument in conjunction with SV28. The SignalVu-PC, which comes standard with the Tektronix RSA306, brings a variety of application-specific analysis and measurement options, such as: Pulse Analysis, 802.11a/b/g/j/p, 802.11n, 802.11ac WLAN analysis, Phase 1 & Phase 2 signals P25 analysis, etc.

To minimize time wasted on interference and transient hunting, the Tektronix RSA306 comes with a real-time spectrum/spectrogram display. In addition, this model features real-time DPX spectrum/spectrogram processing. The power of SignalVu-PC, combined with the 40 MHz real-time bandwidth of this instrument, makes it possible to show the user 100 μs signals.
