The '''Tektronix 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]].
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.
 
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.


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.
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.
Front panel inputs/outputs are: RF IN [[N connector]] (50Ω; ± 40V DC, +33 dBm max); RF Out/REFL In [[N connector]] (Tracking generator source connector);  Ref In [[BNC connector]] (External frequency reference) ; Trig In [[BNC connector]] (10k Ω input; 5V TTL 10); ANT In [[SMA connector]] (To connect optional GPS/GNSS antenna); and USB 3.0 [[USB connector]] (USB 3.0 Type A connector) .
Rear panel input: US Power Plug (115 V nominal); Noise Source Drive [[BNC connector]] (28 V DC Out 140 mA Max).  The Noise Source Drive doesn’t appear to be implemented as of yet but more information it can be gleaned from the Agilent Technologies document [[Media:E4440-90353_Noise Figure Measurement Personality Guide.pdf | Noise Figure Measurement Personality Guide]].
