See the invisible with real-time DPX® technology.
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.
How DPX gave TransSiP, Inc. insight
Over 20 add-on packages. Bluetooth 5 and pulsed signal analysis are just the start.
The RSA600 is powered by SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis software – the same software used on the full-line of Tektronix Real-time Spectrum Analyzers. SignalVu-PC provides advanced measurement and analysis capabilities including advanced triggering that enables the capture of selective pulses from pulsed transmitters, as well as fast and elusive or unexpected transients during device troubleshooting. Choose from more than 20 add-on packages that cover common wireless standards, spectrum management, pulse measurements and more.
Unequaled size. Unlimited flexibility.
The RSA600 is conveniently sized to fit on your bench, in your lab, or stacked side-by-side on a rack. Continuously stream up to 40 MHz of data to your own Intel i5 or i7 PC, laptop, or tablet via USB 3.0. and unlock the latest in PC processing power, convenient file sharing, SignalVu-PC Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software, and Windows or Linux APIs for building custom IQ-based applications. You choose the display and PC. Upgrade when you need or choose to.
Signal quality validation of WLAN, Bluetooth, LTE, and more for wireless transmitter design.
With modulation analysis for WLAN, Bluetooth, LTE, and more, the RSA600 enables straightforward design characterization, troubleshooting, and certification at a low price. The internal tracking generator allows you to characterize RF components and systems.

Spectrum Monitoring and Interference hunting
The migration to mobile communications is creating unprecedented pressure for more spectrum capacity in a complex and crowded signal environment. Tek’s Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers help you discover and examine sources of interference quickly so you can locate and identify unwanted activity. You can ensure your signal integrity and adherence to compliance standards using the RSA306B, RSA500, or RSA600 for real-time spectrum insights.
Interference Hunting Application Note
Highlights
- The RSA600 spectrum analyzer's proprietary DPX technology enables precise, real-time measurements packaged in a portable, rugged form factor and easy-to-use software interface.
- The RSA600 spectrum analyzer covers up to 7.5 GHz, with 40 MHz bandwidth capture
EMI/EMC pre-compliance Testing
Save cost and precious time by performing pre-compliance testing in your lab with our Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers. You can use peak detection with a free version of SignalVu-PC. You also get more accurate results with quasi-peak and average detection by purchasing the additional option EMCVu. Learn more about EMI/EMC pre-compliance testing at our application page.
