Datasheet

Revolutionary DPX®spectrum display reveals transient signal behavior that helps you
discover instability, glitches, and interference. Here, an infrequently occurring transient
is seen in detail. The frequency of occurrence is color-graded, indicating the infrequent
transient event in blue and the noise background in red. The DPX Density™ Trigger is
activated, seen in the measurement box at the center of the screen, and Trigger On
This™ has been activated. Any signal density greater than the selected level causes a
trigger event.

frequency transforms per second, transients of a minimum event duration
of 3.7 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

processor can be swept over the entire frequency range of the instrument,
enabling broadband transient capture previously unavailable in any
spectrum ana lyzer. In applications that require only spectral information, the
RSA6000 Series p rovides gap -free spect ral recording, replay, and analysis
of up to 60,000 spectral traces. Spectrum recording resolution is variable
from 110

μs to 6400 s per line, allowing multiple days of recording time.

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.

DPX Density™ Trigger works on the measured frequency of occurrence o r
density of the DPX display. The unique Trigger On This™ function allows
the user to simply point at the s ignal 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.

A Power Trigger working in the time domain can be armed to monitor for a
user-set power threshold. Resolution bandwidths may be used with the
power trigger for band limiting and noise reduction. Two external triggers
are a vailable for synchronization to test system events.

Analyze

The RSA6000 Series offers analysis capabilities that advance productivity
for engineers working on components or in RF system design, integ ration,
and performance verification, or o perations engineers working in networks,
or sp ectrum 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.

Spectrum Analyzers — RSA6000 Series

Time-correlated, multidomain views provide a new level of insight into design or
operational problems not possible with conventional analysis solutions. Here, ACLR and
Vector Modulation Quality (Opt. 21) are performed on 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),
and limit ranges. Test results can be exported in .CSV format to external programs, with up
to 999 violations reported. Spectrum results are available in linear or log scale.

spectrum display.

Phase noise and jitter measurements (Opt. 11) adds value to your RSA6000 Series by
replacing a conventional phase noise tester for many applications. Phase noise can be
measured at carrier offsets up to 1 GHz, and internal phase noise is automatically reduced
by optimizing acquisition bandwidths and attenuator settings for each carrier offset for
maximum dynamic range. For less critical measurements, speed optimization may be
applied for faster results. Typical residual phase noise of –132 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset,
0 GHz carrier frequency gives sufficient measurement margin for many applications.

Settling time measurements (Opt. 12) are easy and automated. The user can select
measurement bandwidth, tolerance bands, reference f requency (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 Signal Analysis package (Opt. 20) offers over 20 automated pulse parameter
calculations on every pulse. Easily validate designs with measurements of peak power,
pulse width rise time, ripple, droop, overshoot, and pulse-to-pulse phase. Gain insight into
linear FM chirp quality with measurements such as Impulse Response and Phase Error.
A pulse train (upper left) is seen with automatic calculation of pulse width and impulse
response (lower right). A detailed view of the Impulse Response is seen in the lower left,
and a DPX

®

display monitors the spectrum on the upper right.

Advanced Triggers and Swept DPX combines the revolutionary DPX Density™ Trigger
with the ability to trigger on runt pulses and apply time qualification to any trigger. The
runt trigger seen here can be used to track down nonconforming pulses in a pulse train,
greatly reducing time to insight. Time qualification can be used to separate ranging pulses
from higher resolution pulses in a radar signal, or trigger only on signals that remain on
longer than a specified time.

Characteristics

Advanced Triggers and Swept DPX re-invents the way swept spectrum analysis is done,
and is included in the base instrument. The DPX engine collects hundreds of thousands
of spectrums per second over a 110 MHz bandwidth. Users can now sweep the DPX
across the full input range of the RSA6000 Series, up to 20 GHz. In the time a traditional
spectrum analyzer has captured one spectrum, the RSA6000 Series has captured orders
of magnitude more spectrums. This new level of performance reduces the chance of
missing time-interleaved and transient signals during broadband searches.
