These latest hardware and software enhancements deliver unprecedented diagnostic capability and faster time-to-solution, using industry-leading triggering technology and real-time signal analysis, said a press release.

Tektronix said the RSA6000 Series offers reduced test times with faster measurement speed, and lower systems cost due to their unique combination of measurement capabilities, making them particularly well suited for spectrum management, radar, electronic warfare, and radio communications applications.

“The enhanced RSA6000 Series essentially re-invents the swept spectrum analyzer,” said Bob Hiebert, director of marketing, Spectrum Analyzer Product Line Tektronix. “As the time-domain and frequency-domain worlds intersect, the logical way forward is to use a single instrument and maximize return on investment.”

He said that using the RSA6000 Series spectrum analyzer provides real-time advantages and solid swept performance, adding additional characterization capabilities while satisfying the need for a basic spectrum analyzer and a vector signal analyzer.

Improved broad sweep capability in the RSA6000 Series spectrum analyzer allows quick detection of signals of interest. The DPX engine collects hundreds of thousands of spectrum per second over a 110 MHz bandwidth, the release added. This new level of performance reduces the chance of missing time-interleaved and transient signals during broadband searches.

Tektronix said time and amplitude qualified triggers are unique to the RSA6000 Series, and will reduce troubleshooting time in numerous applications, including radar and spectrum management.

The RSA6000 Series with the new software and hardware enhancements is available immediately worldwide and the entry-level pricing begins at US$77,900, said the release.
