Frequency Range: DC to 6.2 GHz
The Tektronix RSA5106A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer sets a new standard in signal analysis by integrating advanced features that enhance measurement confidence and functionality for everyday tasks. As a replacement for traditional high-performance instruments, it delivers an unparalleled combination of capabilities, including comprehensive spectrum analysis, wideband vector signal analysis, and a unique real-time trigger-capture-analyze function — all consolidated in a single, efficient package.
Key Features:
- Exceptional Dynamic Range: Achieve a +17 dBm Third Order Intercept and a -155 dBm/Hz Displayed Average Noise Level at 2 GHz, ensuring precision in challenging spectrum analysis measurements.
- Real-Time Spectrum Display: The patented DPX® technology provides live visualization of transient signal changes, enabling you to quickly identify design stability or faults.
- Instant Trigger and Capture: Effortlessly set triggers to capture elusive events, allowing for time-correlated analysis across all domains.
Performance Specifications:
With a sweeping capability of up to 292,000 frequency transforms per second, the Tektronix RSA5106A can capture transient events with a minimum duration of just 3.7 μs. This innovative design enables extensive analysis without the limitations imposed by traditional sweeps. The included analysis toolset features standard measurements such as Channel Power, Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR), Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF), Occupied Bandwidth (OBW), and ongoing trace spectral recording for seamless replay and post-analysis.
Advanced Triggering Capabilities:
- Superior triggering options include time-qualified power, runt, and frequency mask triggers, specifically tailored for modern digitally implemented RF systems.
- The DPX Density™ Trigger allows for efficient detection of signal occurrences as brief as 5.8 μs while seamlessly distinguishing between continuous and transient signals.
Enhanced Capture Capabilities:
- Available bandwidth configurations of 25, 40, 85, or 110 MHz facilitate in-depth signal analysis, with deep memory enabling recording lengths exceeding 7 seconds at 110 MHz.
- Our wideband preselection filter guarantees image-free measurements across the entire analysis bandwidth, addressing common pitfalls of traditional spectrum analyzers.
Comprehensive Analysis Tools:
- Integrate time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, capturing amplitude, phase, and modulation characteristics with precision.
- Enjoy more than 20 advanced modulation analysis capabilities, including automated settling time measurements and flexible OFDM analysis for wireless communication standards.
Specifications:
- Absolute Amplitude Accuracy: ±0.5 dB to 3 GHz
- Phase Noise Performance: -113 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz and -134 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz
- High-speed sweeps: 1 GHz sweeps at 10 kHz RBW completed in less than 1 second
The Tektronix RSA5106A is engineered for engineers and operators keen on pushing the boundaries of RF design, integration, and performance verification. It's the ideal tool for those who refuse to compromise on measurement accuracy and functionality!
