The RSA5000 series features a compact and elegant design, operates with a touchscreen and a wide range of applications, and can also be used as a scalar network analyzer thanks to the additional 3.2/6.5 GHz tracking generator.
The modular RSA5000 series includes four functions:
• RTSA: Real-time spectrum analyzer up to a maximum bandwidth of 40 MHz
• GPSA: Spectrum analyzer with exceptional performance
• EMI: Pre-compliance testing according to CISPR specifications (with S1210 software)
• VSA: Digital demodulation (option planned for Q2/2018)
Real-time spectrum analyzers perform important functions in many testing laboratories and are often associated with high costs. The RIGOL RSA50xx-TG real-time spectrum analyzer provides a cost-effective alternative for users with demanding analytical tasks and limited budgets. This comprehensive instrument features fully digital Intermediate Frequency (IF) technology for accurate, high-resolution measurements from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz and 6.5 GHz.
RT-SA Module:
The real-time bandwidth is 25 MHz by default and can be optionally expanded to 40 MHz. Therefore, the device can be flexibly adapted to customer requirements. Thanks to fast FFT calculations, the device can achieve a 100% probability of intercept (POI) of 7.45 µs. The device can also detect signals as small as 25 ns. This makes it possible to detect signals that cannot be measured with a standard spectrum analyzer. Due to the high level of information provided, different measurements, such as a frequency density representation, a spectrogram, or a time range, can be displayed, even simultaneously. The versatile Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) can also detect challenging signals. By using different filter types and six different RBW widths, the device can be optimally adjusted to the specific application.
Further details include an FFT rate of up to 146,484 FFT/s, an integrated FMT and power trigger, as well as interfaces for USB, LAN, HDMI and GPIB (optional).
GP-SA Module
: A spectrum analyzer is used to display signal amplitudes as a function of frequency and provides the user with a choice of IF filters to reduce the displayed bandwidth and isolate a dedicated signal from surrounding noise. The RSA5000 spectrum analyzer's digital IF technology significantly reduces amplitude variations over time and frequency compared to analog filters. The effective measurement speed is more than twice as fast as with the DSA800 series. Amplitude values can be measured with the integrated attenuation (adjustable from 0 to 50 dB) up to +30 dBm. The RSA5000's typical phase noise performance is -108 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz at a distance of 10 kHz from the carrier signal and is unique in this price range.
• DANL: up to
• Phase noise:
• Pmax: +30 dBm
• Attenuator: 0 to 50 dB
The RSA5000 has 3 dB resolution bandwidth (RBW) filters, configurable from 1 Hz to 10 MHz in 1-3-10 increments, and 1 Hz to 10 MHz video bandwidth (VBW) filters in 1-3-10 increments. The user can set frequency ranges from 1 Hz wide up to the instrument's full 6.5 GHz bandwidth.
EMI Module:
With complementary options such as an EMI filter and quasi-peak kit, a preamplifier, and expandable measurement capabilities, the RSA5065-TG is ideal for pre-compliance testing of assemblies, devices, and components while capturing rapidly changing signals. This means customers can perform cost-effective pre-testing in-house before products undergo final, typically expensive, EMC testing at certified external testing laboratories. During product development, in-house pre-testing ensures that the product meets EU EMC standards, which are mandatory in all EU and other European countries.
The RSA5000 features a 10.1" capacitive multi-touch display with 800 x 480 pixel resolution and receives its input signals via a 50-ohm Type-50 connector. PC connections are possible via Ethernet LAN and USB, and optionally via GPIB. The RSA5000-TG's tracking generator provides an output power of -40 to 0 dBm with a flat ±3 dB output from 1 MHz to 6.5 GHz for VSWR measurements or scalar analysis.
