Product Description

Tektronix RSA600 Series Real Time Spectrum Analyzers

Visualize and characterize your device or component with the precise and accurate RSA603A and RSA607A USB Spectrum Analyzers, packed with features to aid in wireless integration, EMI, and IoT projects.

See the invisible with real-time DPX® technology.

Discover the most difficult, hard-to-find problems with the powerful real-time architecture of the RSA Series. With the advanced DPX® technology, you can see RF characteristics that are practically invisible to a conventional spectrum analyzer.

Get up to 26 add-on packages. Bluetooth 5 and pulsed signal analysis are just the start.

The RSA600 is powered by SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis software – the same software used on the full-line of Tektronix Real-time Spectrum Analyzers. Delivering unlimited access to advanced measurement and analysis capabilities that you can save, customize or share with peers. Over 15 packages cover common wireless standards, spectrum management, pulse measurements and more.

Unequaled size. Unlimited flexibility.

The RSA600 is conveniently sized to fit on your bench, in your lab, or stacked side-by-side on a rack. Continuously stream up to 40 MHz of data to your own Intel i5 or i7 PC, laptop, or tablet via USB 3.0. and unlock the latest in PC processing power, convenient file sharing, SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software, and Windows or Linux APIs for building custom IQ-based applications. You choose the display and PC. Upgrade when you need or choose to.

Signal quality validation of WLAN, Bluetooth, LTE, and more for wireless transmitter design.

With modulation analysis for WLAN, Bluetooth, LTE, and more, the RSA600 enables straightforward design characterization, troubleshooting, and certification at a low price. The internal tracking generator allows you to characterize RF components and systems.

Applications

Spectrum Monitoring and Interference hunting

The migration to mobile communications is creating unprecedented pressure for more spectrum capacity in a complex and crowded signal environment. Tek’s Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers help you discover and examine sources of interference quickly so you can locate and identify unwanted activity. You can ensure your signal integrity and adherence to compliance standards using the RSA306B, RSA500, or RSA600 for real-time spectrum insights.

Highlights

The RSA600 spectrum analyzer’s proprietary DPX technology enables precise, real-time measurements packaged in a portable, rugged form factor and easy-to-use software interface.
The RSA600 spectrum analyzer covers up to 7.5 GHz, with 40 MHz bandwidth capture

EMI/EMC pre-compliance Testing

Save cost and precious time by performing pre-compliance testing in your lab with our Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers. You can use peak detection with a free version of SignalVu-PC. You also get more accurate results with quasi-peak and average detection by purchasing the additional option EMCVu. Learn more about EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing at our application page.

Reduce manufacturing costs and test time with better test flexibility

The USB RSA’s are a great choice for manufacturers looking for greater throughput and product quality, all while controlling testing costs. The RSA 306B, 500, and 600 units offer support for major Internet of Things (IoT) standards in SignalVu-PC software, come with a complete offering of drivers and code examples, and include testing support for IoT technologies such as WiFi and the new Bluetooth 5.0.

Maximize your student’s learning

With our full featured and affordable Real-time Spectrum Analyzers, your students can capture results of experiments, perform analysis, and generate lab reports on their laptops, saving time and optimizing learning opportunities. It’s compact and portable size makes it easy to conduct experiments away from the lab in real world environments.
