Preamplifier

Turning on the preamplifier reduces the displayed average noise level in order to
distinguish small signals from the noise when working with small signals. For the
instruments supported option DSA1030-PA, pressing the front panel key AMPT, a
corresponding menu will appear on the right of the screen. Then, press RF Preamp
to turn on or off the pre amplifier . An ico n
when the preamplifier is on. The preamplifier will be disabled automatically when the
input attenuation is set higher than 30 dB.

The measurement results when the preamplifier is off and on are shown below,
respectively. As can be see n, small input signals can be displayed by the analyzer
when the preamplifier is on.

Advanced Measurement Functions

Option DSA1000-AMK prov ides plenty of advanced measurement functions including
T-Power (Time domain Power), ACP (Adjacent Channel Power), Chan Pwr (Channel
Power), OBW (Occupied Bandwidth), EBW (Emission Bandwidth), C/N Ratio, Harmo
Dist (Harmonic Distortion), TOI (Third Order Intermodulation) and Pass/Fail. The
measure mode c an be Single or Continuous and you can control the measurement
status: Restart, Pause or Resume.

Pressing the front panel key Meas, the corresponding menu will appear on the right
of the screen. Press Meas Fctn and cho ose a measurement function. T he screen will
be divided into two windows. The upper one is for basic m easure, displaying sweep
trace, and the lower one shows the measurement results.

1. T-Power (Time domain Power)

Enables the Zero Span Mode and calculates the power within time domain. The
measurabl e power types are Peak, Ave rage and RMS.

DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories

2. ACP (Adjacent Channel Power)

Main CH BW

Adj CH BW

CH Spacing

Measures the power of the main channel and the adjacent channels and
calculates the power difference between the main and each of the adjacent
channels. When enabled, both the span and resolution ban dwidth of the analy zer
are adjusted to be smaller automatically.

RIGOL

3. Chan Pwr (Channel Power)

Measures the power and the power density within a specified chan nel bandwidth.
The span and bandwidth are automatically set to smaller values in this
measurement type.

4. OBW (Occupied Bandwidth)

Calculates the power within wh ole bandwidth by integr al operati on and works out
the occupied bandwidth by this value based on the specified power ratio. The
center frequency difference between the measured channel and the analyzer wil l
also be given in the measurement results.

5. EBW (Emission Bandwidth)

Measures the bandwidth of the two points at both sides of the max signal when
the amplitude of this max signal falls off X dB within the span range.

6. C/N Ratio

Noise BW

Offset Freq

Carrier BW

Measures the power of bo t h the c arrie r and t he noise within specified bandwidth
and calculates their ratio.

RIGOL

7. Harmo D ist (Harmonic Disto rtion)

Measures each order harmonic power and THD (Total Harmo nic Distortion) of
carrier. The available range is up to 10 orders. And the fundamental wave
amplitude of the carrier must be higher than -50 dBm or else the measurement
will be invalid.

8. TOI (Third Order Intermodulation)

Measures the parameters of the TOI production generated by two signals which
have the same amplitude and similar frequency. The measured results include the
frequency and amplitude of the Base Lower, Base Upper, 3rd Order Lower an d 3rd
Order Upper signals, as well as the Intercept of both the 3rd Order Lowe r and 3rd
Order Upper sign a l s.

9. Pass/Fail

Compares the measured curve with the pre-edited, if the r elated rules are met,
the result will be “Pass”, or else is “Fail”.

3 GHz Tracking Generator

When the Tracking Generator (DSA1030-TG3 Option) is on, a signal with the same
frequency with the current sweep signal will be outputted from the GEN OUTPUT 50
Ω terminal on the front panel. The powe r of the sig nal could be set throu gh the menu.
And two working modes, P ower Sweep Output an d Fix ed P ower Out put, a re av ailable.

The characteristic of the DUT (Device Under Test) can be acquired by measuring the
response of the DUT stimulated by the Tracking Generator. For example, the
frequency response of a filter can be measured by using the Tracking Generator.
Connect the filter under measure to the RF INPUT 50Ω and GEN OUTPUT 50Ω
terminal of the analyzer.

USB

USB-GPIB Interface Converter

By using RIGOL USB-GPIB interface converter, the spectrum analyzer could be
connected to a GPIB Bus Controller on PC. That is, the analyzer has been expanded
GPIB interface and coul d finish all sorts of work more easil y through GPIB instructions.
And the main performance characters are shown below.

 Enable GPIB control of the analyzer through the USB

Host port.

 GPIB primary addre ss of the analyzer can be assigned

through the host instrument (PC).

 Powered by USB Host, do no t need external power

supply.

 LED indicator provides the power status.

Connect the USB interface of the converter to the USB Host interface of the analyzer,
and connect the GPIB interface to the GPIB Bus Controller on PC.
