The Rigol RSA5000 series spectrum analyzers bring a groundbreaking real-time spectrum trigger and analysis capabilities to the general-purpose spectrum analyzer category. With its ability to trigger on signals as short as 7.45 µs in duration, the RSA5000 ensures 100% POI (Probability of Intercept) capture, providing full visibility into even the most transient signals. This makes it ideal for testing modern RF technologies like WiFi, Bluetooth, IoT, and RFID, where signals may be complex, fleeting, or subject to interference.
In addition to standard spectrum analysis, the RSA5000 can be equipped with a tracking generator for VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and other measurements across a wide frequency range. The inclusion of a real-time bandwidth of 25 MHz (expandable to 40 MHz) further enhances its capability to analyze wideband signals in real-time, essential for testing systems with rapid signal changes or high-frequency hopping.
With the ability to perform real-time frequency analysis, the RSA5000 is the perfect solution for engineers working with signals that are difficult to capture with traditional spectrum analyzers. The Frequency-Mask-Trigger capability allows users to isolate and capture signals within specific frequency ranges, enabling accurate and efficient troubleshooting and analysis.
