Tektronix RSA6114B Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer, 9 kHz - 26.5 GHz
The Tektronix RSA6114B combines the capabilities of a high-performance spectrum analyzer, a wideband vector signal analyzer, and the exceptional trigger-capture-analyze function of a real-time spectrum analyzer in one comprehensive unit. With a typical Third Order Intercept (TOI) of 20 dBm and a Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL) of -151 dBm/Hz at 2 GHz, the RSA6114B delivers the dynamic range essential for intricate spectrum analysis tasks.
Equipped with revolutionary DPX® technology, the RSA6114B allows users to visually interpret signal transients in real-time with an unparalleled live color display. This feature enables immediate detection of design stability or faults as they occur, a capability that standard signal analyzers lack. Once a signal transient is identified, the analyzer can trigger on the event, capturing a contiguous time record of variable RF occurrences and facilitating time-correlated analyses across various domains. The RSA6114B is a powerful tool for detecting issues that would otherwise remain hidden.
