The Tektronix RSA603A is a spectrum analyzer with a frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz that connects via USB3 to a Windows PC running the SignalVu-PC software which provides user interface and display, real-time processing, analog modulation analysis, and RF measurements. Custom application can use the software's API. Post processing analysis of large sets of recorded data can be performed across multiple sets using DataVu-PC software.
The optional tracking generator enables gain/loss measurements for quick tests of filters, duplexers and other network elements, and the user can add cable and antenna measurements of VSWR, return loss, distance to fault and cable loss as needed.
