Recommended Equipment

AWG5200 Arbitrary Waveform Generator

RSA306B

RSA600

The AWG5200 delivers unparalleled signal fidelity coupled with class-leading sample rate and memory depth, giving you the industry's best signal stimulus solution for complex RF baseband signal generation and precision experimental applications. With up to 10 GS/s sample rate and 16-bit vertical resolution, get easy generation of complex signals as well as accurate playback of existing captured signals.

A full-featured RF analyzer in your hands at a breakthrough price, enabled by powerful SignalVu-PC, is the field tool for easy interference hunting.

 

Fitting neatly on the lab table or a rack, the RSA600 enables easy chip/module integration and EMI testing with speeds up to 7.5GHz, 40 MHz of bandwidth, incredible spurious free dynamic range, and optional internal tracking generator.

RSA5000 Series

MDO4000 Series

3 Series MDO

This mid-range real-time spectrum analyzer combines the excellent RF performance with up to 165 MHz bandwidth and 4th Generation DPX® technology. Detect, analyze and debug wireless chips, modules, and devises with 100% probability of intercept of signals as brief as 434 ns.

The oscilloscope that includes a logic analyzer, spectrum analyzer and protocol analyzer – all synchronized for an integrated view. Use powerful trigger, search and analysis tools to zero in on analog, digital and RF anomalies.

The 3 Series mixed domain Oscilloscope helps students learn about analog oscilloscope measurements, but also logic analysis, spectrum analysis, and protocol analysis with a touchscreen interface that’s second nature.

TTR500 VNA

The TTR500 Series 2-port, 2-path vector network analyzer is our latest breakthrough – an unmatched combination of measurement performance and convenience at 40% lower price than leading benchtop alternatives! Make everyday measurements with the accuracy and confidence you expect from Tektronix, without breaking your budget.
