Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
This section provides a basic description of the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer
(RTSA) operation. See Figure 2--1 on page 2--5 for a block diagram of the
instrument.
General
A processor system controls the RSA6100A instrument. The instrument features
an XGA resolution flat-panel display, a transparent touch-screen, and a frontpanel with direct access to commonly used RTSA features. You can also use the
RTSA with a mouse or other pointing device, and/or a keyboard.
The RTSA uses the Microsoft Windows XP operating system.
Signal Path and Processing
RF Signal Path
Acquisition System
Processor System
An RF signal enters the RTSA through a direct coaxial connection (N--type) 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) 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.
This 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 boards.

Theory of Operation
Trigger Inputs
Display Panel
Display system
Touch Panel
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.
The Trigger Out signal is accessed below the display with a coaxial connection.
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.
Front Panel
Rear Panel
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.
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 CD--R drive, optional DVD--RW, or removable HDD, communicate over an
IDE connection directly to the processor system.

All connections except the IF Output and Digital I/Q are connected directly to
the digital interface board. The IF Output and Digital I/Q outputs are connected
to the Real--Time I/Q (RTIQ) option board.
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.

Adjustment Procedure
Adjustment Procedure
There are no physical user adjustment procedures for the RSA6100A Series
instruments. However, you can run Alignments from the RSA6100A Series
application. Alignments are software-controlled adjustment procedures.
Running Alignments
Alignments are adjustment procedures run by the instrument using internal
reference signals and measurements, and do not require any external equipment
or connections.
There are two settings for Alignments:
H Automatically align as needed (Auto mode)
H Run alignments only when the “Align Now” button is pressed
If Automatically align as needed is selected, alignments run whenever the
spectrum analyzer detects a sufficient change in ambient conditions to warrant an
alignment.
Alignment Status
Initiating an Alignment
If Run alignments only when “Align Now” button is pressed is selected, the
spectrum analyzer never runs an alignment unless you manually initiate an
alignment using the Align Now button.
NOTE. There are a few critical adjustments that must run occasionally even if
Automatically align as needed is not enabled.
When the spectrum analyzer needs to run an alignment, it displays a message on
screen. If no message is displayed, you can assume that the spectrum analyzer is
properly aligned.
To initiate an alignment:
1. Select Setup > Alignments.
2. Select the Align Now button.
The spectrum analyzer will run an alignment procedure. Status messages are
displayed while the alignment procedure is running. If the instrument fails the
alignment procedure, an error message will be displayed. If the instrument fails
RSA6100A Series Service Manual
3- 1
Adjustment Procedure
an alignment, run Diagnostics (Tools > Diagnostics) to see if you can determine
why the alignment failed.
NOTE. While an alignment is running, both the IF and IQ outputs are disabled.
Alignments During
Warm-Up
Alignments During Normal
Operation
Alignments Are Not
Calibrations
During the warm--up period, the spectrum analyzer will run alignments relatively
frequently as it warms to operating temperature (if Auto mode is selected).
During the specified period for warm-up, the instrument performance is not
warranted.
Once the spectrum analyzer reaches operating temperature, alignments will run
less frequently than during the warm-up period. If an alignment becomes
necessary during a measurement cycle (if Auto mode is selected), the measurement is aborted and an alignment procedure is run. Once an alignment procedure
is completed, the measurement cycle restarts.
Alignments are adjustment procedures run by the instrument using internal
reference signals and measurements. Calibrations can only be performed at a
Tektronix service center and require the use of traceable test equipment (signal
sources and measuring equipment) to verify the performance of the instrument.

Restoring the Operating System
Instruments do not ship with operating system restore disks. For Option 06/07
instruments, files to restore the operating system are located on a partition of the
hard drive. For Option 08 instruments, you should use the Creating a Disk
Backup Image procedure below, before placing the instrument into service, to
create a file that you can use to restore the operating system. The Creating a Disk
Backup Image procedure can also be used for Option 06/07 instruments.
NOTE. For Options 06/07, after restoring the operating system from the hard
drive, use the Product Software CD to reinstall the instrument application
software. Follow the instructions supplied with the Product Software CD to
reinstall the instrument application software.
For Option 08 instruments (and Option 06/07 if you use the Create a Disk
Backup Image procedure), the restore procedure also restores the product
software, thus, you do not have to restore the product software after performing
the restore procedure.
Creating a Disk Backup Image
Use the following procedure to backup the hard drive or solid-state drive in your
instrument as a disk backup image (for Option 08 instruments, this is the only
way to create a backup of the drive). You will use the disk backup image to
restore the hard drive or solid-state hard drive should the drive become corrupted.
Prerequisites
Create the Backup Image
You will need:
H An external USB hard drive or a connection to a Local Area Network with
write permissions on a server.
To create a disk backup image:
1. Connect the instrument to a local area network.
2. On the instrument Microsoft Windows desktop, double-click the Acronis
TrueImage icon.
3. Click Backup to run the Create Backup Wizard.
4. Click Next.

5. Click the check box for Disk 1 if it is not checked.
6. Click Next to display the Backup Archive Selection screen.
7. Navigate to a location on the local network where you can save a disk
backup image.
8. Type in a descriptive name for the backup (such as the instrument model
number and serial number or corporate asset number).
9. Click Next to display the Choose Backup Options screen.
10. Do not change the default settings. Click Next to display the Archive
Comments screen. Type in any comments you want to include with the
backup.
11. Click Next to display a summary screen that shows the settings to be used to
create the disk backup image.
12. Click Proceed to begin the backup process.
13. When the backup is complete, click OK. Exit the Acronis TrueImage
application.
To verify that the disk backup image was created properly:
1. Locate the disk backup image on the local area network. The backup image
appears as a single filename with a tib extension (for example,
RSA6106A_backup.tib).
2. Double-click the icon for the disk backup image. Double-click the next icon
that appears in the window.
3. Compare the files and folders that appear in the root directory of the backup
image to the root directory of the solid-state drive. If the files and folders in
the backup image are the same as the files and folders in the root directory of
the solid-state drive, the backup completed correctly. If you do not see the
same files and folders, repeat the disk backup procedure.

Restoring the Instrument Operating System
You can restore the instrument operating system from either a file on the
instrument hard disk drive (Options 06/07 only), or from a disk backup image
(all drive options).
CAUTION. Using the restore process reformats the hard drive and reinstalls the
operating system. All saved data will be lost. If possible, save important files to
external media before performing a system restore.
Restoring the Operating System from the Instrument Hard Disk (Options 06/07)
On Option 06/07 instruments, an operating system restore file is saved on a
separate partition of the hard drive. The following procedure uses that restore file
to restore the operating system.
1. Attach a keyboard to the instrument.
2. Restart the instrument. During the boot--up process you will see the
following message at the top of the screen:
Starting Acronis Loader…press F5 for Acronis Startup
Recovery Manager
3. Repeatedly press the F5 key until the Acronis True Image Tool opens. There
is a three-second time period from when the message appears until the
instrument proceeds with the normal instrument startup. If the instrument
does not open the Acronis application, power off the instrument, then power
on the instrument and try again.
4. Within the Acronis TrueImage window, click Restore.
5. In the Confirmation dialog box, click Yes to restore the instrument operating
system, or No to exit the restore process. The restore process takes approximately 30 minutes; the actual time depends on the instrument configuration.

Replaceable Parts
Replaceable Parts
This section contains a list of the replaceable modules for the RSA6100A Series
Real-time Spectrum Analyzers. Use this list to identify and order replacement
parts.
Parts Ordering Information
Replacement parts are available through your local Tektronix field office or
representative.
Changes to Tektronix products are sometimes made to accommodate improved
components as they become available and to give you the benefit of the latest
improvements. Therefore, when ordering parts, it is important to include the
following information in your order:
H Part number
H Instrument type or model number
H Instrument serial number
Module Servicing
H Instrument modification number, if applicable
If you order a part that has been replaced with a different or improved part, your
local Tektronix field office or representative will contact you concerning any
change in part number.
Modules can be serviced by selecting one of the following three options. Contact
your local Tektronix service center or representative for repair assistance.
Module Exchange. In some cases you may exchange your module for a remanufactured module. These modules cost significantly less than new modules and
meet the same factory specifications. For more information about the module
exchange program, call 1-800-833-9200. Outside North America, contact a
Tektronix sales office or distributor; see the Tektronix web site for a list of
offices: www.tektronix.com.
Module Repair and Return. You may ship your module to us for repair, after which
we will return it to you.
New Modules. You may purchase replacement modules in the same way as other
replacement parts.
