Description

Rigol RSA3000 Series

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

Operating from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz, the RSA3000 Series delivers accurate signal analysis for RF systems, IoT devices, wireless communication equipment, antenna testing, and EMI diagnostics. 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 includes a built-in Vector Network Analysis (VNA) mode for accurate S11, S21, and Distance-to-Fault (DTF) measurements. Engineers can analyze RF components, antennas, cables, filters, and amplifiers with high precision.

The analyzer supports advanced display formats such as Smith Chart and Polar Chart, helping users clearly visualize network characteristics and impedance performance.

VNA Applications

• S11 return loss testing
• S21 insertion loss measurements
• Distance-to-Fault (DTF) analysis
• Antenna impedance testing
• RF cable and filter analysis
• Passive RF component measurements

EMI Pre-Compliance Testing with Built-In EMI Software

The Rigol RSA3000 features built-in EMI pre-compliance software combined with CISPR-compliant EMI filters and detectors. This allows engineers to identify conducted and radiated EMI issues during product development before final compliance testing.

By detecting EMI problems early, the RSA3000 Series helps reduce testing costs, improve product reliability, and accelerate certification and product launch timelines.

EMI Testing Benefits

• Conducted EMI testing
• Radiated EMI testing
• Faster EMI troubleshooting
• Reduced compliance testing costs
• Improved product certification efficiency

Advanced Signal Triggering with FMT Mode

The RSA3000 Series supports Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) mode, a powerful feature designed for real-time signal monitoring. Engineers can create custom frequency mask templates and automatically trigger on signals that match specific conditions.

FMT mode is ideal for detecting intermittent interference, transient RF anomalies, and unexpected signal activity.

Benefits of FMT Mode

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

Ultra-Low 1 Hz Resolution Bandwidth

The RSA3000 Series offers an ultra-low Resolution Bandwidth (RBW) as low as 1 Hz, allowing engineers to clearly distinguish weak and closely spaced RF signals. This improves signal visibility and enables highly detailed spectrum analysis.

The 1 Hz RBW capability is ideal for harmonic analysis, adjacent channel testing, and low-level signal measurements.

Applications of 1 Hz RBW

• RF signal analysis
• Harmonic detection
• Adjacent channel measurements
• Wireless communication testing
• Precision spectrum measurements

High 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 allows engineers to detect weak RF signals, hidden harmonics, and low-level interference sources more effectively.

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

Advantages of Ultra-Low DANL

• Detect weak RF signals easily
• Improve harmonic analysis
• Identify hidden interference sources
• Enhance troubleshooting performance
• Increase measurement accuracy

Multiple Connectivity Interfaces

The RSA3000 Series includes multiple connectivity options for improved instrument integration and remote operation. The HDMI interface allows users to connect the analyzer to larger external displays for better visualization and analysis.

The built-in Web Control function enables remote operation directly through a web browser using the device IP address, improving flexibility and workflow efficiency.

Connectivity Features

• HDMI output for external displays
• Remote Web Control support
• LAN connectivity
• Improved remote testing capability
• Flexible laboratory setup
