Features & Benefits
Trigger
– Tektronix Exclusive Frequency
Mask Trigger Makes Eventbased Capture of Transient
RF Signals Easy by Triggering
on Any Change in the
Frequency Domain
Capture
– All Input Signals up to 36 MHz
Spans are Seamlessly Captured
Into Memory
– Long Record Length Enables
Complete Analysis Over Time
Without Making Multiple
Trigger, Capture, Analyze
See frequency, amplitude and modulation
change over time. With only a single
acquisition, Real-Time Spectrum
Analyzers (RTSA) capture a continuous
time record of changing RF events and
enable time-correlated analysis in the
Frequency, Time and Modulation
domains. You get the functionality of
a vector signal analyzer, a wide band
