Features and benefits
Radiation hazard (RADHAZ) testing
Emissions control (EMCON) monitoring
Signal intelligence (SIGINT) monitoring
9 kHz to 3.0/7.5/13.6/18.0 GHz frequency range covers a broad range
of analysis needs
40 MHz acquisition bandwidth enables real time analysis for transient
capture and vector analysis
The RSA500 Series saves you time and helps
you succeed
High speed full-span sweeps (70 GHz/sec) for fast setup and discovery
Standard GPS/GLONASS/Beidou receiver for mapping
The RSA500 series was built to bring real-time spectrum analysis to solving
the problems of spectrum managers, interference hunters and network
maintenance personnel who need to track down hard to find interferers,
maintain RF networks and keep records of their efforts. The heart of the
system is the USB-based RF spectrum analyzer that captures 40 MHz real-
time bandwidths with great fidelity in harsh environments. With 70 dB
spurious free dynamic range and frequency coverage to 18.0 GHz, all
signals of interest can be examined with high confidence in your
Optional tracking generator for gain/loss, antenna and cable
measurements
DataVu-PC software enables multi-unit recording in variable
bandwidths
Mil-Std 28800 Class 2 environmental, shock and vibration
specifications for use in harsh conditions
measurement results. The USB form factor moves the weight of the
instrument off of your hands, and replaces it with a lightweight Windows
tablet or laptop. Holding a light PC instead of a heavy spectrum analyzer
means you can move faster, for longer, and get your work done faster.
Internal battery for extended field operations

SignalVu-PC software offers real time signal processing with DPX
Spectrum/Spectrogram to minimize time spent on transient and
interference hunting
The optional tracking generator enables gain/loss measurements for quick
tests of filters, duplexers and other network elements, and you can add
cable and antenna measurements of VSWR, return loss, distance to fault
and cable loss as needed.
EMC/EMI pre-compliance and troubleshooting - CISPR detectors,
predefined standards, limit lines, easy accessory setup, ambient
capture, failure analysis, and report generation
15 μsec minimum signal duration with 100% probability of intercept
ensure you see problems first time, every time
