Rigol RSA5000 Series [RSA5032-TG] Real Time Spectrum Analyzer with Tracking Generator

The RSA5032-TG 3.2GHz Spectrum Analyzer With Tracking Generator is a real-time device that scans a complete spectrum of 9kHz to 3.2GHz with a maximum sample rate of 51.2MS/s. It offers significant performance improvements over traditional swept spectrum analyzers with a 1ms full span sweep, an expanded vertical range to +30dBm, reduced phase noise to -108dBc/Hz, 1 Hz RBW (resolution bandwidth), and a reduced noise floor (DANL) to -165dBm. Bit it can also be used in a traditional swept scan mode. The Tracking Generator in the RSA5032-TG provides a built-in signal source of 100kHz – 3.2GHz with an output range of -40dBm to 0dBm for plotting circuit or component frequency responses.

Offering up to 40MHz Real-Time Bandwidth the RSA5032-TG calculates >146,000 FFT/sec, delivering down to a 7.45us 100% Probability of Intercept. It provides seven display modes (Normal, Density, Spectogram, Power v. Time, Density & Spectogram, PVT & Spectrum, PVT & Spectrogram) and includes a Frequency Mask Trigger. The Frequency Mask Trigger is especially useful for triggering measurements of sporadic or transient events.

The flexible User Interface allows customers to interact with the unit with their preference, since it features a 10.1” capacitive touch screen display with gesture support, mouse/keyboard support, as well as traditional knob and button control.

Rigol describes the high-speed real-time measurement technology of this unit “Ultra-Real”. It performs rapid signal acquisition and data analysis, with various display modes to facilitate comprehensive signal interpretation.

Building on the tremendous success of Rigol’s DSA800 series of swept spectrum analyzers, the RSA5000 series of analyzers offer a combination of outstanding swept spectrum performance and 40MHz real-time Bandwidth, with category leading 7.45us POI, making the RSA5000 series a great choice for customers in spectrum monitoring, transmitter test, RF component characterization and EMI applications. Customers working with hopping/channel shifting technologies in crowded ISM bands will find a real-time analyzer essential, as will customers integrating PLL technology in their designs, identifying sources of interference or characterizing rapidly pulsing applications: all will benefit from the seamless capture capabilities of the real-time spectrum analysis capability of the RSA5000 series.
