RENT TEKTRONIX RSA518A Real-Time USB Spectrum Analyzer (Call for Availability)
The Tektronix RSA518A USB Spectrum Analyzer is engineered for exceptional performance in portable spectrum analysis, all within a robust, battery-powered design. Its core capability lies in the USB-based RF spectrum analysis, delivering an impressive 40 MHz real-time bandwidth. This combination ensures that even in the most challenging environments, the RSA518A maintains high measurement fidelity. With a remarkable 70 dB spurious-free dynamic range and a broad frequency coverage up to 18.0 GHz, you can confidently evaluate all signals of interest with precision and reliability.
Equipped with an optional tracking generator, the RSA518A simplifies gain/loss measurements, facilitating quick assessments of filters, duplexers, and various network elements. Additionally, users can easily conduct cable and antenna measurements to determine VSWR, return loss, distance to fault, and cable loss as required, making this analyzer an indispensable tool for field operations.
The RSA518A pairs seamlessly with SignalVu-PC, a powerful software application that enhances the capabilities of Tektronix's spectrum analyzers. This advanced program provides extensive analysis capabilities that were previously unavailable in high-performance, battery-operated solutions. Direction finding and signal strength measurements become straightforward with the standard SignalVu-PC features. An array of application-oriented options allows for either onboard installation or flexibility with a floating license that can be transferred among instruments or to your PC. For comprehensive field operations, ensuring access to a Windows Tablet or laptop is essential for instrument control, record maintenance, and communication.
