Theory of Operation
This section provides a basic description of the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer
(RTSA) operation. A block diagram of the instrument is shown in this section.
(See Figure 2
General
A processor system controls the RSA6100A instrument. The instrument features
an XGA resolution flat-panel display, a transparent touch-screen, and a front-panel
with direct access to commonly used RTSA features. You can also use the RTSA

board.
RF Signal Path
Acquisition System
Processor System
An RF signal enters the RTSA through a direct coaxial connection (N-type for the
RSA6106A and RSA6114A, 3.5 mm for the RSA6120A) to the input connector.
The RF signal path conditions the input signals and passes them to the acquisition
system for sampling and processing. The RF signal path consists of three
frequency conversion stages, band-limiting filters, and signal level adjustment
stages. The purpose of the RF signal path is to translate a band-limited replica
of a portion of the input signal range (9 kHz to 6.2 GHz for the RSA6106A,
9 kHz to 14 GHz for the RSA6114A, or 9 kHz to 20 GHz for the RSA6120A) to a
intermediate frequency (IF) where it can be sampled by a high dynamic range A/D.
Control of the RF signal path is performed by the processor system.
The acquisition system samples the IF signal and converts it to digital signals.
These digital signals are then filtered numerically and processed either for direct
display or by measurement applications to provide metrics of signal quality
to the user. The acquisition data processing is performed by one of several
field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) under control of the processor. The
processor performs measurement applications.
The processor system consists of a PCI-based processor board and a digital
interface board that connects the processor to the acquisition board.
Trigger Inputs
RSA6106A/RSA6114A (S/N B020000 and Above), and RSA6120A Service Manual2–1
There are two coaxial trigger inputs. One is on the front panel below the display
and the other is on the rear panel. Both trigger inputs connect directly to the digital
interface board. Trigger signals are processed by an FPGA on the digital interface
board. The information from the trigger system is combined with acquisition
data by the processor system.
Theory of Operation

The Trigger Out
The trigger out signal comes from the Acquisition Control FPGA via the digital
interface board.
Waveforms, spectral traces, measurement results, and control menus are displayed
on a 10.4 inch, color, active-matrix LCD display with touch panel.
The display system consists of a display adapter board and inverter board, which
sends text and waveform information to the display panel.
The display adapter board sends information from the touch panel to the processor.
The touch panel appears as a USB HID device in the Window Device Manager
tool.
The processor system reads the front-panel switches and encoder. Any changes in
their settings are reported to the processor. The processor also turns the LEDs on
and off.
signal is accessed below the display with a coaxial connection.
The ON/STBY switch passes through the display adapter board, the digital
interface board, and to the processor on the front panel board.
Communication between the processor system and the front panel is performed
over an internal USB connection.
The DVD-RW, removable HDD (hard disk drive), or removable solid-state hard
drive communicate over an IDE connection directly to the processor system.

Power Supply
Fans
The Power Conversion board provides instrument power. The Power Conversion
board consists of several switching supplies that translate and balance the power
taken from the power supply module.
Power is distributed from the Power Conversion board to both the RF Deck and
the Digital Interface board.
The ON/STBY switch, located on the front panel, controls all of the power to the
instrument except for the part of the circuitry in the standby power supply.
Seven individual fans provide cooling to the RTSA. Three fans are dedicated to
the RF Deck and are controlled by the RF Interface. Two fans provide cooling
for the digital side of the instrument.
The bulk power supply module has an internal fan. Control signals to the power
supply fan are sent through the Power Conversion board from the Digital Interface
board.
A seventh fan is resident on the processor board heat sink, and is controlled by
the Slot PC board.
If Option 200 is installed, eight individual fans provided cooling to the RTSA.

Inspection and Cleaning
Inspection and Cleaning describes how to inspect for dirt and damage. It also
describes how to clean the exterior and interior of the instrument. Inspection and
cleaning are done as preventive maintenance. Preventive maintenance, when done
regularly, may prevent instrument malfunction and enhance its reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
instrument and using general care when operating it.
How often preventive maintenance should be performed depends on the seve
of the e nvironment in which the instrument is used. A proper time to perform
preventive maintenance is just before instrument adjustment.

Interior Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a
soft-bristle, non-static-producing brush for cleaning around components. If you
must use a liquid for minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
and rinse with deionized water.
WARNING. Before performing any procedure that follows, power down the
instrument and disconnect it from line voltage. Failure to do so could cause
personal injury, or death.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle
brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol
solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces a round controls and connectors.
Do not use abrasive compounds on any part o f the chassis that may damage the
chassis.
Clean the On/Standby switch using a dampened cleaning towel. Do not spray or
wet the switch directly.
CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents which might damage the
plastics used in this instrument. Use o nly deionized water when cleaning the
menu buttons or front-panel buttons. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a
cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any other type of cleaner,
consult your Tektronix Service Center or representative.

that you can connect to the RSA6100A Series instrument.
To delete the disk partition:
1. On a PC, use a web browser to go to:

2. Download the DOS6.0_bootdisk.iso image.
3. Burn the ISO image to a CD using disk burning software. Additional

Restoring the Hard Disk from a Backup Image
To restore the hard drive or solid-state hard drive from a backup image, you must
be able to access the disk backup image from the instrument. The disk image can
be on a network or USB hard drive or flash drive.
Prerequisites
You will need:
An external USB CD-R/W drive (Option 06/08 only)
Bootable Rescue Media CD (Tektronix part number 063-4180-XX, a standard
accessory that ships with all instruments )
Backup image of hard drive (See page 4-6, Creating a Disk Backup Image.)
To restore the hard drive:
1. Option 06/08: Connect the USB CD-R/W drive to a high-speed USB port
on the rear panel.
2. Connect the instrument to the local area network or USB hard drive or flash
drive on which the disk backup image is stored.
3. Insert the Bootable Rescue Media CD in to the CD drive.

Use the following two tables to determine items of the instrument that you will
need to remove to access replaceable parts. The first table lists items that may
need to be rem
oved before you can access a replaceable module. The second
table lists customer replaceable modules and which items must be removed
to access the replaceable module. The approximate location of the primary
customer replaceable modules is shown in the following figure. (See Figure 4-1
on page 4-14.)
