The RSA306: a new class of instrument

The RSA306 uses your PC and Tektronix SignalVu-PC™ RF Signal
Analysis Software to provide real time spectrum analysis, streaming
capture and deep signal analysis capabilities for signals from 9 kHz to
6.2 GHz, all in a low-cost, highly portable package that is ideal for field,
factory, or academic use.

Key performance specifications
9 kHz to 6.2 GHz frequency range covers a broad range of analysis
needs
+20 dBm to -160 dBm measurement range
Captures interference to ensure that you see problems first time, every
time
Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration
specifications for use in harsh conditions

Key features
Full-featured spectrum analysis capability with included Tektronix
SignalVu-PC™ software

The RSA306 offers full-featured spectrum analysis and deep signal
analysis at a price unmatched by any previous offering. Using the latest in
commercial interfaces and available computing power, the RSA306
separates signal acquisition from measurement, dramatically lowering the
cost of instrument hardware. Data analysis, storage and replay is
performed on your personal computer, tablet or laptop. Managing the PC
separately from the acquisition hardware makes processing upgrades easy,
and minimizes IT management issues.

SignalVu-PC™ software and an API for deep
analysis and fast programmatic interaction
The RSA306 operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program that is the
basis of Tektronix performance signal analyzers. SignalVu-PC offers a
deep analysis capability previously unavailable in value-priced solutions.
Real-time processing of the DPX spectrum/spectrogram is enabled in your
PC, further reducing the cost of hardware. Customers who need
programmatic access to the instrument can choose either the SignalVu-PC
programmatic interface or use the included application programming
interface (API) that provides a rich set of commands and measurements. A
MATLAB driver for the API is available, enabling operation with MATLAB
and the Instrument Control Toolbox.

27 spectrum and signal analysis measurements standard
Options for mapping, modulation analysis, WLAN and Bluetooth
standards support, pulse measurements, playback of recorded files,
and frequency settling
Real time Spectrum/Spectrogram display to minimize time spent on
transient and interference hunting
Application programming interface (API) included for Microsoft
Windows environments
