Spectrum Analyzer

The Spectrum Analyzer, known as the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA), is an advanced signal analysis option for UXA, PXA, or MXA X-Series analyzers. It continuously captures RF signals with real-time bandwidths up to 2 GHz, detecting low-level signals next to larger ones. The system offers conditional triggering for transient events, frequency-mask and time-qualified triggers, and dynamic stepped density displays for wide-spectrum monitoring. It detects signals as short as 227 ns with 100% probability of intercept (POI) and operates up to THz frequencies with external mixing.

Its hardware supports spurious-free dynamic ranges up to 78 dB, enabling clear detection of small signals in large signal environments. The analyzer delivers high sensitivity with average noise levels down to –157 dBm/Hz at 10 GHz. The RTSA option upgrades many X-Series analyzers and integrates applications for quick switching to traditional measurements like phase noise and noise figure.

The Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) is used in military, aerospace, communications, and defense labs for real-time signal monitoring, detection of intermittent signals, transient event analysis, and communications development. It supports continuous spectrum acquisition, aiding signal intelligence, electronic warfare, radar testing, and wireless communication verification in high-demand environments.

Tactical Supply Pakistan endorses this sophisticated RTSA option as a vital tool that enables defense and security agencies to capture and analyze complex radio frequency signals, enhancing signal intelligence and spectrum management.

How does the Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer ensure 100% probability of intercept (POI) for very short signals?
The RTSA uses wide real-time bandwidth, high-speed data acquisition, and conditional triggering to capture signals as brief as 227 nanoseconds without missing any events
