RSA6120
The RSA6120B is a laboratory grade spectrum analyzer with a frequency range of 9 kHz to 20 GHz. It provides small signal duration for 100% probability of intercept of 3.7 µsec (Opt. 09) and high real-time spurious-free dynamic range of 69 dB over the entire acquisition bandwidth. In additional it operates not only as a spectrum analyzer but also wideband vector signal analyzer, and unique trigger-capture-analyze capability.
The RSA’s has a 10.4 inch color touch panel display, 1 GB memory for acquisition (upgradable to 4 GB, Opt. 53), an optional CD/DVD-RW and 160 GB internal hard drive (Opt. 57), or a 160 GB internal hard drive (Opt. 59), or a 160 GB removable solid-state drive (Opt. 56) to save and load data and settings.
Power and signal statistics measurements are standard but also include: Channel Power, ACLR, CCDF, Occupied Bandwidth, AM/FM/PM, and Spurious measurements. Phase Noise (Opt 11) and General Purpose Modulation Analysis (Opt. 21) measurements are available as well.
Standard displays and measurements of real-time data include DPX (proprietary signal acquisition technology developed by Tektronix for its digital phosphor oscilloscopes) Spectrum, DPX Spectrogram, DPX amplitude vs. time, DPX frequency vs. time, and DPX phase vs time. Displays and measurements of acquisition data include Spectrum (amplitude vs linear or log frequency), Spectrogram (amplitude vs. frequency over time of acquisition data), Spurious (amplitude vs linear or log frequency), Amplitude vs. time, Frequency vs. time, Phase vs. time, Amplitude modulation vs. time, Frequency modulation vs. time, Phase modulation vs. time, RF IQ vs. time, Time overview, CCDF, and Peak-to-Average ratio.
Offline analysis can be performed with RSAVu software which can perform W-CDMA, HSUPA. HSDPA, GSM/EDGE, CDMA2000 1x, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, RFID, Phase Noise, Jitter, IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN, IEEE 802.15.4 OQPSK (Zigbee), and audio analysis.
