Test and measurement provider Tektronix has announced major enhancements to its RSA6000 series spectrum analysers
 According to Tektronix, the hardware and software enhancements deliver faster time to solution using triggering technology and real time signal analysis.
Bob Hiebert, Tektronix' director of marketing, spectrum analyser product line, said the company was looking to address analysis challenges such as broadband transients and dsp errors. Improved broad sweep capability in the RSA6000 series, he explained, allows quick detection of signals of interest. The DPX engine collects 100's of thousands of spectrums per second over 110MHz bandwidth.
With this new enhancement, Tektronix says that it's possible to sweep the DPX across the full input range of the RSA6000, up to 14GHz.
Hiebert said: "The enhanced RSA6000 series essentially reinvents the swept spectrum analyser. As the time domain and frequency domain worlds intersect, the logical way forward is to use a single instrument and maximise return on investment. Using the RSA6000 RTSA provides real time advantages and solid swept performance, adding additional characterisation capabilities while satisfying the need for a basic spectrum analyser and a vector signal analyser."
Additional enhancements include a 6X performance improvement to the 2nd generation of the DPX Live rf spectrum display. With this feature, designers can test short duration transients, as brief as 10.3µs, particularly relevant for applications such as software defined radio and radar.
