Data Sheet
Revolutionary DPX™ spectrum display discovers events that other analyzers miss. This is
an off-the-air capture of a frequency-hopping signal jammed by large interference.
Discover and interpret complex behaviors of
your time-variant signals
The RSA3000B Series makes it easy for you to discover design issues that
other signal analyzers miss. The revolutionary DPX Live RF spectrum
display offers an intuitive live color view of signal transients changing over
time in th
e frequency domain, giving you immediate confidence in the
stability of your design or instantly displaying a fault when it occurs. This
live display of transients is impossible with othe r signal analyzers. Once
a problem is discovered with DPX, the Real Time Spectrum Analyzer
(RTSA) can be set to trigger on the event in the frequency domain,
capture a continu ous time record of changing RF events and perform
rrelated analysis in all domains. You get the functionality of a
time-co
high-performance vector signal analyzer, a spectrum analyzer, and the
unique discover-trigger-capture-analyze capability of a Real Time Spectrum
Analyzer – all in a single package.
Performance You Can Count On

Discover
The DPX™ spectrum processing engine brings live analysis of transient events to
spectrum analyzers. Performing more than 48,000 frequency transforms per second,
transients as brief as 31 μs are displayed in the frequency domain. This is orders of
magnitude faster than conventional analysis techniques. Events are color coded
by rate of occurrence onto a bitmapped display, providing unparalleled insight into
transient signal behavior.
Trigger
The optional Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) makes it easy to trigger on signals in the
ncy domain and capture transient signals in bandwidths up to 36 MHz. The
freque
FMTissimplyconfigured to m onitor all changes in frequency occupancy within the
capture bandwidth. The Power Trigger, working in any capture bandwidth, fires at
tant in time when the RF input signal crosses a user-set power threshold. An
the ins
external trigger is available for synchronization to test system events.
Capture
Unlike many SA/VSA combination instruments, the RTSA is fully preselected at all
times for spurious and image rejection in any combination of capture bandwidth
and frequency. Capture of small signals in the presence of large signals is enabled
with up to 73 dB Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) and class-leading image
rejection in all capture bandwidths. Capture once with seamless acquisitions and
make multiple measurements without recapturing. Record lengths vary depending
upon the selected capture bandwidth: up to 1.28 seconds at 36 MHz, 2.56 seconds
at 15 MHz, 51.2 seconds at 1 MHz, or 1.42 hours at 10 kHz bandwidth with optional
FMT / Deep Memory.

Spectrum Analyzers — RSA3 000B Series
Unlike a conventional VSA’s capability of quantifying the modulation quality only at the
center frequency, the RSA3000B Series can demodulate a captured off-center hopped
signal with view of the spectrogram (upper left), frequency versus amplitude (upper right),
signal modulation quality (lower left) and Constellation (lower right).
SA3000B Series also provides automatic measurement of the frequency settling

time
A Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) was set to monitor the frequency domain for any
changes in the spectrum, and it triggered on transient interference. The spectrogram
(lower display) shows the time relationship between the desired good signal and the
interfering transient signal. The spectrum display shows what was happening at the
precise m oment the interfering signal was present in the band. FMT is an essential tool for
capturing interfering and unauthorized signals in the presence of desired emitters.
