High-performance Spectrum and Vector
Signal Analysis, and Much More
The RSA5000 Series replaces conventional high-performance signal
analyzers, offering the measurement confidence and functionality you
demand for everyday tasks. A +17 dBm TOI and –154 dBm/Hz DANL at
2 GHz gives you the dynamic range you expect for challenging spectrum

General Purpose Mod ulation Analysis measurements round out the

high-performance analysis tools.
But, just being an excellent mid-range signal analyzer is not sufficient to
meet the demands of today’s hopping, transient signals.
The RSA5000 Series will help you to easily discover design issues that
other signal analyzers may miss. The revolutionary DPX
®
spectrum display
offers an intuitive live color view of signal transients changing over tim e in
the 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 o ther signal analyzers. Once a problem is
discovered with DPX
®
, the RSA5000 Series spectrum analyzers can be set
to trigger on the event, capture a contiguous time record of changing RF
events, a nd perform time-correlated analysis in all domains. You get the
functionality of a high-performance spectrum analyzer, wideband vector
signal analyzer, and the unique trigger-capture-analyze capab ility of a
real-time spectrum analyzer – all in a single package.
Discover
The patented DPX®spectrum processing engine brings live analysis
of transient events to spectrum analyzers. Performing up to 292,000
frequency
transforms per second, transients of a minimum event duration
of 5.8 μs in length are displayed in the frequency domain. This is orders
of magnitude fast er than swept analysis techniques. Events can be
color coded by rate of occurrence onto a bitmapped display, providing
unparalleled insight into transient signal behavior. The DPX spectrum
processor can be swept over the entire frequency range of the instrument,
enabling
broadband transient capture previously unavailable in any
spectrum analyzer.

Trigger and Capture: The DPX Density™ Trigger monitors for changes in the frequency
domain, and captures any violations into memory. The spectrogram display (left panel)
shows frequency and amplitude changing over time. By selecting the point in time in
the spectrogram where the spectrum violation triggered the DPX Density™ Trigger, the
frequency domain view (right panel) automatically updates to show the detailed spectrum
view at that precise moment in time.
Tri gger
Tektronix has a long history of innovative triggering capability, and the RSA
Series spectrum analyzers lead the industry in triggered signal analysis.
The RSA5000 Series provides unique triggers essential for troubleshooting
modern digitally implemented RF systems. Includes time-qualified power,
runt, density, frequency, and frequency mask triggers.
Time qualification can be applied to any internal trigger source, enabling
capture of ‘the short pulse’ or ‘the long pulse’ in a pulse train, or, when

density of the DPX display. The unique Trigger On This™ function allows
the user to simply point at the signal of interest on the DPX display, and
a trigger level is automatically set to trigger slightly below the measured
density level. You can capture low-level signals in the presence of high-level
signals at the click of a button.
The Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) is easily configured to monitor all
changes in frequency occupancy within the acquisition bandwidth.

The RSA5000 Series offers analysis capabilities that advance productivity
for engineers working on components or in RF system design, integration,
and performance verification, or operations engineers working in networks,
or spectrum man
agement. In addition to spectrum analysis, spectrograms
display both frequency and amplitude changes over time. Time-correlated
measurements can be made across the frequency, phase, amplitude,
and modulation domains. This is ideal for signal analysis that includes
frequency hopping, pulse characteristics, modulation switching, settling
time, bandwidth changes, and intermittent signals.

are performed simultaneously in a single acquisition, combined with the continuous
monitoring of the DPX
Spurious Search – Up to 20 noncontiguous frequency regions can be defined, each with
their own resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth, detector (peak, average, quasi-peak),

Audio monitoring and modulation measurements simultaneously can make spectrum
management an easier, faster task. Here, the DPX spectrum display shows a live
spectrum of the signal of interest and simultaneously provides demodulated audio to the
internal instrument loudspeaker. FM deviation measurements are seen in the right side of
the display for t he same signal.
Spectrum Analyzers — RSA5000 Series
DPX Zero-span produces real time analysis in amplitude, frequency or phase vs. time.
Up to 50,000 waveforms per second are processed. DPX Zero-span ensures that all
time-domain anomalies are immediately found, reducing time-to-fault. Here, three distinct
pulse shapes are captured in zero-span amplitude vs. time. Two of the three waveforms
occur only once in 10,000 pulses, but all are displayed with DPX.
Phase noise and jitter measurements (Opt. 11) on the RSA5000 series may reduce
the cost of your measurements by reducing the need for a dedicated phase noise
tester. Outstanding phase noise across the operating range provides margin for many
applications. Here, phase noise on a 13 MHz carrier is measured at -119 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz
offset. The instrument phase noise of <–134 dBc/Hz at this frequency provides ample
measurement margin for the task.
Settling time measurements (Opt. 12) are easy and automated. The user can select
measurement bandwidth, tolerance bands, reference frequency (auto or manual), and
establish up to 3 tolerance bands vs. time for Pass/Fail testing. Settling time may be
referenced to external or internal trigger, and from the last settled frequency or phase. In
the illustration, frequency settling time for a hopped oscillator is measured from an external
trigger point from the device under test.
Advanced Triggers, Swept DPX, and Zero Span (Opt. 200) provides superior swept
spectrum analysis for transient signals. Here, a 150 MHz swath of spectrum is swept
across the ISM band. Multiple WLAN signals are seen, and narrow signals seen in the
blue peak-hold trace are Bluetooth access probes. Multiple interfering signals are seen
below the analyzers noise level in the multi-color DPX display.
