Tektronix RSA500 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer Series
The Tektronix RSA500 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer Series consists of several reliable spectrum analyzers with frequencies ranges of 9 kHz to 3.0 (for the RSA503A model), 9 kHz to 7.5 (for the RSA507A model), 9 kHz to 13.6 (for the RSA513A model), and 9 kHz to 18.0 GHz (for the RSA518A model). These models cover a wide range of testing requirements and help operators preserve the quality of a telecommunication system. The Tektronix RSA500 Series is ideal for interference hunting, spectrum monitoring, EMI/EMC compliance testing and troubleshooting, network maintenance, and more.
With real-time spectrum analysis, technicians can easily maintain RF networks and keep records. An analyzer in the RSA500 Series is USB-based with a bandwidth of 40 MHz and a dynamic range of 70 dB. The devices have a RF input impedance of 50 Ω, uses the SignalVu-PC program, and allows easy and effective testing. The accuracy of a RSA500 analyzer is excellent and all signals can be examined with various helpful applications. The RSA500 analyzers are user-friendly and keep the testing process precise and efficient.
