Real Time Analyzers
Tektronix real-time analyzers, such as the RSA6100A Series Analyzers and RSA5100A Series Real-Time Analyzers, have an
optional fre
quency m ask trigger. The frequency m ask trigger allows you to set up a spectral mask to capture a signal when a
spectral anomaly occurs. This allows the real-time spectrum analyzer to check 100% of the input signal before acquiring, and
then capture precisely the intermittent RF event of interest.
DPX™ technology allows you to view the RF signal as a live display. You can view very short transient signals, multilevel
signals, an
d time-varying events. Option 200 includes the ability to measure and trigger on signal density values in the
DPX display.
The RSA6100A Series Spectrum Analyzers and RSA5100A Series Real-Time Signal Analyzers allow you to view the
captured signals in a wide variety of time-correlated displays. This is useful for device troubleshooting and signal
character
ization applications. All of the measurements, other than the DPX display, are based on the same underlying
set of time domain sample data.
Measurement Displays
The analyzer window can show one or any combination of general purpose and application-specific displays.
This example shows a single DPX S pectrum
display within the window.
