Real-time spectrum analysers show live RF
07 February 2008
Tektronix has announced the addition of DPX waveform image processor technolgy to the RSA3000B series of real-time spectrum analysers.
“Tektronix real-time spectrum analysers are the first and only analysers designed specifically to solve problems created by digital RF technologies,” said Rick King, vice president, real-time spectrum analyser
product line at Tektronix. Digital RF, i.e. digital signal processing and advances in ADC and DAC technologies has created crowded airways with collisions and interferences inevitable in wireless LANs, RFID, mobile phones, radio systems and radar applications.
Digital RF tools have to handle frequency domain and modulation changes that occur over microseconds, minutes or even longer. The RSA3300B series is available with either DC-3GHz or DC-8GHz frequency
coverage. With 15MHz capture bandwidth and 70dB spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), the RSA3300Bs are suited to use in the design and debug of 3G mobile systems, near-field systems (such as RFID and Bluetooth), and narrow to medium bandwidth communications systems. The RSA3408B with DC-8GHz frequency coverage, 36 MHz capture bandwidth and 73dB SFDR is tailored for higher bandwidth and dynamic range applications including 3G mobile components and system debug, WLAN and WiMax system design, demanding spectrum management applications, and general-purpose digital RF debug.
