The Tektronix 3052 is a digitizer and digital signal processing / spectrum analysis system.
It contains a 26 MHz A/D converter and 1024 parallel digital bandpass filters, and allows a 10 MHz wide spectrum to be viewed as a function of time with a maximum update rate of 1 spectrum per 200 μs. Typical configurations included a 49x- or 275x-series spectrum analyzer with option 42 (10 MHz wideband IF output), accompanied by an RF160 downconverter to translate the analyzer's IF output from 110 MHz to 7.5 MHz for digitization by the 3052.
Among other modes, the 3052 offers a waterfall display mode which gives a three dimensional plot of time, amplitude, and frequency. It can be considered a predecessor of modern software-defined radio applications.
