Tektronix RSA3408B Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer, DC to 8 GHz

Tektronix RSA3408B Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

The Tektronix RSA3408B is a cutting-edge Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer that stands out in the mid-range performance category. Designed to enhance your measurement confidence, this versatile instrument is essential for radio design and spectrum management functions. With its ability to perform vector, spectrum, power, signal source, and audio analysis, the RSA3408B consolidates multiple functionalities into one powerful device.

What sets the Tek RSA3408B apart is its revolutionary DPX Live RF spectrum display. This feature offers an intuitive, real-time color visualization of signal transients as they evolve over time in the frequency domain. This means you can immediately validate the stability of your design or swiftly identify faults as they arise—something that traditional signal analyzers may not capture. Once an issue is detected using DPX, the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) is equipped to trigger events in the frequency domain, enabling continuous capture of dynamic RF events and facilitating detailed time-correlated analysis across various domains.

Key Features:

• Frequency Range: DC to 8 GHz - Offering broad frequency coverage for diverse applications.
• Memory Capture: All signals in spans up to 36 MHz are captured into memory for thorough examination.
• Acquisition Length: Up to 1.28 seconds at 36 MHz bandwidth allows for complete analysis over extended periods without requiring multiple acquisitions.
• Dynamic Range: Fully preselected and image-free at all times ensures full dynamic range is maintained at any capture bandwidth.
• RF Probing: Interfaces seamlessly with TekConnect® Probes for enhanced RF probing capabilities.
• Differential IQ Input: Available option to extend functionality for specific applications.
• DPX Spectrum Processing: Experience an intuitive comprehension of time-varying RF signals with color-graded displays based on frequency occurrence.
• High Measurement Speed: DPX displays transients with over 48,000 spectrum measurements per second, facilitating rapid analysis.

The Tektronix RSA3408B is your ultimate partner for comprehensive RF analysis, delivering the exceptional performance and versatility needed to tackle today’s complex signal environments.
