Analyser gives real-time spectral view

Real-time spectrum analysers are designed to offer benchtop performance on a portable handheld platform, specifically to solve problems created by digital RF technologies.

The latest handheld real-time spectrum analyser from Tektronix uses novel DPX waveform image processor technology to provide a live RF view of the spectrum In addition to the new SA2600, DPX is now also available on the H600 RF Hawk handheld unit originally introduced in February

The rapid expansion of digital RF applications has driven the measurement needs of many applications including mobile communications and spectrum management beyond the capabilities of swept spectrum and vector signal analysis.

Digital RF signals carry complex modulation and change from one instant to the next, hopping frequencies, spiking briefly and then disappearing.

These transient and time varying transmission techniques help RF devices avoid interference, maximise peak power and, oftentimes, evade detection.
