The Tektronix RSA518A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer is a part of the RSA500 Series. With a real-time bandwidth of 40 MHz, spurious-free dynamic range of 70 dB, and more, the RSA518A and other RSA500 models are ideal for a variety of testing requirements. The Tektronix RSA518A model has a frequency range of 9 kHz to 18.0 GHz.
The RSA518A is designed to operate in harsh environments and is the ideal tool for spectrum analysis, interference hunting, and network maintenance. It is easy for technicians to find interferences and to document their findings with this dependable spectrum analyzer. The ability to maintain networks is simplified with the use of the RSA518A unit an all signals can be examined and recorded. The device has a maximum DC voltage of ±40 V (RF input), full span sweep speed (typical mean) of 70 GHz/sec (RBW = 1 MHz) and 60 GHz/sec (RBW = 100 kHz), an external reference input level of -10 to +10 dBm, an external reference input range of ± 5 ppm, and an RF Input Impedance of 50 Ω.
Reach out to an ATEC rental agent today to learn more about the Tektronix RSA518A Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer and other Tektronix products. We can help you choose the best product, based on your testing requirements and standards.
