RSA3000 Spectrum Analyzer Series
Winner of the EDN Innovation Award
Discover and interpret complex behaviors of your time variant signals.
The mid-range performance RSA3000 Series delivers the measurement confidence you need in your radio design or spectrum management tasks. Perform vector, spectrum, power, signal source and audio analysis, all from within a single measurement instrument. When using the unique DPX™ Live RF spectrum display, you will also discover spectrum events other analyzers will miss.

Benefits |
| DPX™ Spectrum Display 100% Probability of Intercept (POI) |
Discover signal behavior previously unseen. Improve test confidence and catch very short duration transients missed by conventional spectrum analyzers. |
| Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) 100% POI |
Save time by isolating signal faults and efficiently utilizing memory with a unique frequency domain trigger. Isolate hard to find hardware and software anomalies with cross domain triggering between multiple instruments. |
| Seamless data capture into deep memory or external recording system | Observe the entire duration of signal events, like frequency hopping sequences, PLL settling times, turn on transients, and multiple pulses. |
| Time-correlated data analysis with automatic domain correlation and linked markers | Accelerate troubleshooting and analysis by pinpointing the root cause of problems in multiple domains. |
| One box multi-function design for spectrum analysis, vector signal analysis, pulse analysis, baseband analysis, signal source analysis, audio distortion analysis, and wireless standard analysis | Simplify test and save test time with multiple measurements on the same captured data. Reduce cost of test with a versatile single instrument that replaces multiple test sets. |
