Discover the most difficult, hard-to-find problems with the powerful real-time architecture of the RSA Series. With the advanced DPX® technology, you can see RF characteristics that are practically invisible to a conventional spectrum analyzer.
RF Sensing
The ability to sense important signals of interest (SOIs) in a crowded spectrum has become more challenging for military and government personnel. As spectrum density grows, understanding what is in your environment at any given time has become increasingly complex. RF monitoring with the RSA500 provides real-time situational awareness in the field to quickly identify and monitor spectrum violations, such as unauthorized transmission, LPI threats, hazardous power or emissions control conditions.
Radar
Advancements in radar technology have led to adoption in mobile applications ranging from defense systems to autonomous vehicles. With applications operating across a large spectrum range, it’s important to have spectrum analysis solutions that provide the ability to quickly and accurately identify sources of interference and noise. The Tektronix RSA500 series provides unparalleled performance for analyzing radar signals from the UHF to Ku bands. In a compact form factor, the RSA500 is the perfect choice for on the range, in the field or in the lab.
Electronic Warfare
Operating in today’s battlefield has been amplified by advancements in electronic warfare (EW). The proliferation of high-end electronics and the evolution of commercial technologies have given adversaries unprecedented capabilities. Tektronix Real-time Spectrum Analyzers provide real-time, robust visibility into signals emitted into the electromagnetic spectrum to provide Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) and identify potential threats before they occur.
Spectrum Monitoring and Interference hunting
Mobile communications are creating a complex and crowded signal environment with unprecedented spectrum capacity pressure. Tektronix’ Real-time Spectrum Analyzers help you discover and examine sources of interference quickly, so you can locate and identify unwanted activity. Ensure your signal integrity and compliance to standards using the RSA500 for real-time spectrum insights.

DataVu-PC Record Analysis Software for Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers
When combined with the signal recording capabilities of all Tektronix USB and PCIe-based spectrum analyzers, DataVu-PC can turn hours of attended monitoring into fast post-acquisition search, mark, and measurement tasks. Analyze your results without adding the extra step of conversion software.
Highlights
- Search based on signal amplitude characteristics, marking each event occurrence for later examination
- Make an unlimited number of Scalar pulse measurements with the eMarker application and export the results in Pulse Descriptor Word format for integration into other workflows.
- Export results to in-depth analysis packages like SignalVu-PC from within DataVu-PC – without any additional conversion software.
- Using two Tektronix Real-time Spectrum Analyzers, scan or record up to two independent frequencies and spans simultaneously. One instrument can be used for wide-span signal detection and a second instrument can be used for isolation on signals of interest and recording for later analysis.
Three bandwidth options make DataVu-PC the most affordable way to analyze large files from all Tektronix Spectrum Analyzers.
