The '''RSA603A''' is a compact spectrum analyzer meant for lab or production line use with a frequency range of 9 kHz to 3.0 GHz.  The user interface and display resides on a user-provided PC running [[SignalVu-PC]] software or a user-developed application. The host PC provides all power, control, and data signals over the USB 3.0 cable included with the instrument.  An available SW API is provided to allow you to create your own custom signal processing application.  A self guided demo board and guide can be found here [[RSA-DKIT]].

Signal processing while running [[SignalVu-PC]] software provides real-time processing of for general signal analysis, analog modulation analysis, and RF measurements.  This software can be programmed through the program’s interface or through the use of the included application programming interface (API).  Post processing analysis of large sets of recorded data can be performed across multiple sets using [[DataVu-PC]] software.
