RF Education and Teaching

You can now outfit your entire lab and add new, advanced RF topics for less than half the price of a conventional analyzer and change the RF horizon for your students: The tool you have been waiting for to easily teach beyond the basics. Add Vector analysis, frequency and phase trends, Wi-Fi demodulation and more.

Our smallest USB Spectrum Analyzer is full featured ( real-time 6.2 GHz) yet smaller than a paperback book! It is perfect for in-class or field demonstrations, lecture hall teaching as well as lab work.
It is customizable to allow you to build custom setups on your own PC without losing your settings, or use our API to import data directly to programs like MATLAB®.

Includes Tektronix 3 year warranty with worldwide support. See below to download technical documents and discover how our cutting edge spectrum analyzer can help you.
