Integrating Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other RF technologies into a design can be challenging. To make the evaluation and characterization of complex RF systems easier, RIGOL’s RSA5000 real-time spectrum analyzers add the dimension of time to RF analysis. The RSA5000 combines high performance swept analysis and real-time performance with options for EMI pre-compliance, vector network analysis and vector signal analysis. Depending upon the model, the RSA5000 supports a frequency range for all measurement modes of 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz or 6.5 GHz.

RIGOL’s RSA5000 Spectrum Analyzer allows the user to debug and analyze complete RF modules and systems. Complex signals, including 802.11b and GSM, can be demodulated and analyzed, radiated emissions measured and basic S-parameters characterized. The RSA5000 Series combines high performance swept analysis and real-time performance with specialized optional measurement modes like EMI mode for EMI pre-compliance testing, VSA Mode for complex demodulation analysis, and AMK for advanced measurements, including channel parameters. The RSA5000N models include vector network analysis capabilities. VNA Mode includes S11, S21 and distance-to-fault (DTF) measurements.

In addition to supporting a frequency range up to 6.5 GHz, RSA5000 spectrum analyzers offer specifications that include 1 ms full span sweep, 1 Hz minimum resolution bandwidth, real-time bandwidth up to 40 MHz, 7.45 μs 100 percent POI, and DANL as low as -165 dBm (with optional pre-amplifier). For advanced analysis, the RSA5000 provides real-time visualization modes, including combinations of normal, density, spectrogram and power-versus-time modes. The triggering capabilities of the RSA5000 enable users to identify specific signals of interest with frequency mask and power triggers or use external triggers to time-correlate digital signals for additional analysis.
