Rigol RSA3000 Series for RF Testing, EMI Analysis, and Wireless Communication Applications

The Rigol RSA3000 Series Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer is a high-performance RF measurement instrument designed for real-time spectrum analysis, sweep spectrum analysis, EMI pre-compliance testing, and wireless communication testing. With advanced RF analysis capabilities and reliable measurement performance, the RSA3000 Series is ideal for enterprise R&D, factory production testing, educational laboratories, IoT device development, and electronic troubleshooting applications.

With a frequency range from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz, the RSA3000 Series delivers accurate signal analysis for RF systems, antenna testing, wireless communication equipment, EMI diagnostics, and production testing applications. Models with the “-TG” suffix include a built-in tracking generator for advanced RF component testing and network analysis.

Built-In Vector Network Analysis (VNA) Mode

The RSA3000 Series features a built-in Vector Network Analysis (VNA) mode that supports S11, S21, and Distance-to-Fault (DTF) measurements for RF components and circuit networks. Engineers can accurately analyze antennas, RF filters, cables, amplifiers, and passive RF components using advanced network analysis tools.

The analyzer supports Smith Chart, Polar Chart, and other graphical display formats for detailed impedance and network characteristic visualization.

• Improved product certification efficiency

Advanced Signal Triggering and Monitoring with FMT Mode

The RSA3000 Series supports Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) mode, a powerful trigger function designed specifically for real-time spectrum analyzers. Engineers can quickly create custom frequency mask templates and automatically trigger on signals that match predefined conditions.

FMT mode helps users detect intermittent interference, transient RF anomalies, and unexpected signal behavior within monitored frequency ranges.

Benefits of FMT Trigger Mode

• Detect transient RF anomalies
• Monitor intermittent interference signals
• Improve real-time signal monitoring
• Trigger automatically on custom signal conditions
• Enhance RF troubleshooting accuracy

Ultra-Low 1 Hz Resolution Bandwidth for Precise RF Analysis

The RSA3000 Series features an ultra-low Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) as low as 1 Hz, allowing engineers to distinguish weak and closely spaced RF signals with high precision. This advanced RF analysis capability improves signal visibility and provides highly detailed spectrum measurements.

The ultra-low 1 Hz RBW is ideal for harmonic analysis, adjacent channel testing, low-noise measurements, and wireless communication signal analysis.

Applications of 1 Hz RBW

• RF signal analysis
• Harmonic and interference detection
• Adjacent channel measurements
• Wireless communication testing
• Low-level signal analysis
• Precision spectrum measurements

Exceptional Sensitivity with DANL as Low as -161 dBm

With the optional preamplifier enabled, the Rigol RSA3000 Series achieves a Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL) as low as -161 dBm. This ultra-low noise floor enables engineers to detect weak RF signals, hidden harmonics, and low-level interference sources more effectively.

The high sensitivity improves troubleshooting performance in both swept spectrum analysis and real-time spectrum analysis modes.

Advantages of Ultra-Low DANL

• Detect low-power RF signals easily
• Improve harmonic and interference analysis
• Identify hidden RF noise sources
• Enhance RF troubleshooting performance
• Increase signal measurement accuracy

Multiple Connectivity Interfaces for Flexible Operation

The RSA3000 Series includes multiple connectivity interfaces to improve instrument integration and remote operation. Engineers can connect the analyzer to external monitors through the HDMI interface for enhanced visualization and improved signal analysis.

The built-in Web Control function allows users to remotely control the instrument directly through a web browser using the device IP address, improving remote access and testing flexibility.

Connectivity Features

• HDMI output for external monitor connection
• Remote Web Control functionality
• LAN connectivity for network integration
• Improved remote testing capability
• Flexible laboratory and production setup
