Tektronix RSA5106A Spectrum Analyzer

The Tektronix RSA5106A is an outstanding, mid-range Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer designed to operate in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 6.2 GHz. This instrument comes from the well-known RSA5100B Series by Tektronix. This model is widely used in complex applications, such as EMI Diagnostics, Spectrum Management, RF Debug, Design of Components, Satellite/Radio Communications, etc. The Tektronix RSA5106A is a good option for mid-range vector and spectrum analysis with -167 dBm/Hz DANL and +17 dBm TOI at 1 GHz (typical).

This model is a superior performer in terms of low frequency because it comes with -131 dBc/Hz phase noise at 10 kHz offset and -150 dBm DANL at 10 MHz carrier frequency. The RSA5106A features a deep memory. This model can capture a seamless record of radio frequency signals for up to 7 s acquisitions while operating at 85 MHz bandwidth. With its runt, frequency-edge, and advanced time-qualified triggers, this instrument is smart enough to act on complicated signals as narrow as 20 ns. The acquisition bandwidth range allows the model to capture the deepest and wildest signals.

The Tektronix RSA5106A also offers superior speed sweeps with elevated resolution and low noise. The user can achieve 1 GHz sweeps at 10 kHz RBW in less than 1 second. With all these performance characteristics, the user will find it easy to discover complex in nature design issues that other analyzers may miss. It is an ideal choice for those who face challenges while working with hard to find software and hardware anomalies.
