Description

Option RT1 adds the real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) capabilities to a new N9030A PXA signal analyzer. Adding RTSA to the PXA lets you see, capture and understand the most elusive signals—known or unknown.

Enables true gap-free real-time spectrum analysis in a high-performance signal analyzer

Quickly switch from must-have measurements—phase noise, noise figure and power—to transient real-time analysis

Confidently capture the behavior of dynamic signals with durations as short as >15 µs (at 100% POI) with FMT

Selectively trigger with TQT to find pulse outliers or trigger on specific communication bursts

Seamlessly integrates with 89600 VSA software for thorough analysis of complex signals

Measure over 75 modulation types, from custom OFDM or APSK to standard-based signals such as MIL-STD, GSM or LTE

Use frequency-mask trigger to record culprit signals then playback through links to Keysight vector signal generators, arbitrary waveform generators, or MATLAB

Maximize your investment—add real-time spectrum analyzer capabilities to a PXA at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated solution
