Product Overview
The RSA3303B, RSA3308B, and RSA3408B are portable real-time spectrum analyzers. The real-time spectrum analyzer has a vastly different architecture from traditional random signals with equal ease. The acquired d ata is analyzed in time, amplitude, phase, and frequency domains correlating with time. Furthermore, DPX spectrum processing provides an intuitive understanding of time-varying RF signals with color-graded displays based on frequency of occurrence.

About Installation of Other Applications
The analyzer incorporates Windows XP as the operating system. Some combinations of internal measurement applications and external applications may cause deterioration in the basic performance or conicts between these applications.
It is not recommended that you install other applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook, on the analyzer. If you install an external application, you do so at your own risk, keeping in mind that it may lower the performance of the anal
yzer.

Pollution Degree
Description
Pollution Degree
A measure of the contaminates that could occur in the environment around and within a product. Typically the internal e nvironment inside a product is considered to be the same as the external. Products should be used only in the environment for which they are rated.
Pollution Degree 1. No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Products in this category are generally encapsulated, hermetically sealed, or located in clean rooms.
Pollution Degree 2. Normally only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. Occasionally a temporary conductivity that is caused by condensation must be expected. This location is a typical ofce/home environment. Temporary condensation occurs only when the product is out of service.
Pollution Degree 3. Conductive pollution, or dry, nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation. These are sheltered locations where neither temperature nor humidity is controlled. The area is protected from direct sunshine, rain, or direct wind.
Pollution Degree 4. Pollution that generates persistent conductivity through conductive dust, rain, or snow. Typical outdoor locations.
Pollution Degree 2 (as dened in IEC 61010-1). Note: Rated for indoor use only.
