Interference hunting

The RSA306: a new class of instrument

The RSA306 offers full-featured spectrum analysis and deep signal

analysis at a price unmatched by any previous offering. Using the latest in

commercial interfaces and available computing power, the RSA306

separates signal acquisition from measurement, dramatically lowering the

cost of instrument hardware. Data analysis, storage and replay is

performed on your personal computer, tablet or laptop. Managing the PC

separately from the acquisition hardware makes processing upgrades easy,

and minimizes IT management issues.

SignalVu-PC™ software and an API for deep

analysis and fast programmatic interaction

The RSA306 operates with SignalVu-PC, a powerful program that is the

basis of Tektronix performance signal analyzers. SignalVu-PC offers a

deep analysis capability previously unavailable in value-priced solutions.

Real-time processing of the DPX spectrum/spectrogram is enabled in your

PC, further reducing the cost of hardware. Customers who need

programmatic access to the instrument can choose either the SignalVu-PC

programmatic interface or use the included application programming

interface (API) that provides a rich set of commands and measurements. A

MATLAB driver for the API is available, enabling operation with MATLAB

and the Instrument Control Toolbox.

See the separate SignalVu-PC datasheet for complete details and ordering

information.

The RSA306 with SignalVu-PC offers basic

and advanced measurements for field and lab

See what you've never seen before: The 40 MHz real time bandwidth of the

RSA306 combined with the processing power of SignalVu-PC shows you

every signal, even down to 100 μs in duration. The following image shows a

WLAN transmission (green and orange), and the narrow signals that repeat

across the screen are a Bluetooth access probe. The spectrogram (upper

part of the screen) clearly separates these signals in time to show any

signal collisions.

Monitoring has never been easier. Spectrum mask testing captures detail of

transients found in the frequency domain, such as intermittent interference.

Mask testing can be set to stop acquisition, save acquisition, save a

picture, and send an audible alert. The following image shows a spectrum

mask (in orange on the spectrum display) created to monitor a band of

frequencies for violations. A single transient of 125 μs duration has

occurred that violated the mask, with the violation shown in red. The

transient is clearly seen on the spectrogram above the red violation area

(circled).

Analysis of AM and FM signals is standard in SignalVu-PC. The following

screen shot shows a 1 kHz tone amplitude modulating a carrier to 48.9%

total AM. Markers are used on the spectrum display to measure the

modulation sideband at 1 kHz offset, 12.28 dB down from the carrier. The

same signal is simultaneously viewed in the modulation display, showing

AM versus time, with +Peak, -Peak and Total AM measurements.

Advanced measurements for analog audio modulation including SINAD,

THD and modulation rate are available in Option SVA.

A broad range of analysis options are available on SignalVu-PC. The

following screen shot shows the standard Channel Power/ACLR

measurement combined with optional modulation analysis to show

spectrum measurements plus a constellation display and vector signal

quality measurements on a QPSK signal.

SignalVu-PC Option SV26 enables quick, standards-based transmitter

health checks on APCO P25 signals. The following image shows a Phase II

signal being monitored for anomalies with the spectrum analyzer while

performing transmitter power, modulation and frequency measurements.

Sophisticated WLAN measurements are easy. On the displayed 802.11g

signal, the spectrogram shows the initial pilot sequence followed by the

main signal burst. The modulation is automatically detected as 64 QAM for

the packet and displayed as a constellation. The data summary indicates

an EVM of -33.24 dB RMS, and burst power is measured at 10.35 dBm.

SignalVu-PC options are available for 802.11a/b/j/g/p, 802.11n and

802.11ac to 40 MHz bandwidth.

SignalVu-PC Option MAP enables interference hunting and signal strength

analysis. Locate interference with azimuth direction function. It lets you

draw a line or an arrow on a mapped measurement to indicate the direction

your antenna was pointing when you take a measurement. You can also

create and display measurement labels.

Models

RSA306 USB real time spectrum analyzer, 9 kHz - 6.2 GHz, 40 MHz acquisition bandwidth, one-year warranty

A USB 3.0 PC is required for operation of the RSA306. For full performance of the real time features of the RSA306, an Intel i7 4th

generation quad-core processor and 8 GB RAM is required. Processors of lower performance can be used, with reduced real time

performance. Storage of streaming data requires that the PC be equipped with a drive capable of streaming storage rates of

300 MB/sec.
