Rigol RSA3000 Series for Advanced RF Testing and EMI Analysis

The Rigol RSA3000 Series Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer is a high-performance RF test instrument designed for real-time spectrum analysis, EMI pre-compliance testing, wireless communication testing, and advanced RF troubleshooting. Combining both real-time analysis and sweep spectrum analysis capabilities, the RSA3000 Series delivers accurate RF measurements and powerful signal analysis for research laboratories, manufacturing facilities, educational institutions, and electronics engineers.

With a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz, the RSA3000 Series is ideal for RF signal analysis, IoT device testing, EMI diagnostics, antenna testing, wireless communication systems, and production line 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 an integrated 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 the network performance of antennas, filters, cables, amplifiers, and passive RF devices.

Advanced display formats such as Smith Chart and Polar Chart provide clear visualization of impedance and network characteristics. (*Available on N-models only)

VNA Measurement Applications

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

EMI Pre-Compliance Testing with Built-In EMI Software

The Rigol RSA3000 includes built-in EMI pre-compliance testing software combined with CISPR-compliant EMI filters and detectors. This advanced EMI testing capability helps engineers identify conducted and radiated emission issues early during product development.

By reducing EMI failures before final certification, the RSA3000 Series helps lower compliance testing costs, improve product reliability, and accelerate time-to-market.

EMI Testing Benefits

• Conducted EMI testing
• Radiated EMI testing
• CISPR-compliant EMI filters
• Faster EMI troubleshooting
• Reduced compliance testing costs
• 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 for real-time spectrum analysis. Engineers can quickly create custom frequency mask templates and automatically trigger on signals that match defined conditions.

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

Benefits of FMT Trigger Mode

• Detect transient RF signals
• Monitor intermittent interference
• Improve real-time signal monitoring
• Trigger 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, enabling engineers to distinguish weak and closely spaced RF signals with high accuracy. This advanced RF analysis capability improves signal visibility and delivers detailed spectrum measurements.

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

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

Advantages of Ultra-Low DANL

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

Multiple Connectivity Interfaces for Flexible Operation

The RSA3000 Series includes multiple connectivity options for improved instrument integration and remote operation. Engineers can connect the analyzer to external monitors through the HDMI interface for enhanced visualization and easier 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 testing and monitoring efficiency.

Connectivity Features

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