Introducing the Rigol RSA6000 Spectrum Analyser!

Posted on: October 24th, 2025 by Kane Brady

RIGOL has officially unveiled its brand-spanking-new RSA6000 Series real-time spectrum analysers! Launched on the 18th of August 2025, this instrument is built on the souped-up UltraReal platform, which cleverly combines high-performance signal capture with multi-dimensional analysis in a flexible, portable package. Essentially, it’s designed to help engineers catch those elusive, fast-changing signals and build a truly top-notch RF test bench.

Rigol RSA6000 Series Real-Time Spectrum Analysers

The new RSA6000 Series is the go-to instrument for getting your head around spectrum analysis.

When it comes to RF performance, the RSA6000 series doesn’t muck about—it ensures engineers can see every last detail of a signal:

  • Real-time analysis bandwidth is up to a massive 200 MHz. The Probability of Intercept (POI) is 100% at a super-speedy 3.83μs, meaning blink-and-you’ll-miss-it transient signals, like frequency hopping and pulses, are easily visible.
  • In Real-Time Spectrum Analysis (RTSA) mode, the scanning speed hits an astonishing 4 THz/s. This allows for ultra-fast sweeps across incredibly wide spectra, significantly boosting efficiency for spectrum monitoring and interference hunting.
  • It covers a frequency range from 5kHz right up to 26.5GHz, handling everything from low-frequency comms to microwave radar test needs.
  • Excellent phase noise performance as low as 108 dBc/Hz (@1 GHz, 10 kHz offset) gives a clean reference for checking the signal quality of crucial devices like oscillators and PLLs.
  • A Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL) as low as -163dBm/Hz (typical) ensures even the weakest signals are a doddle to capture.

The RSA6000 Series ingeniously packs five core measurement modes into one box. With just a single click to switch between them, it becomes a specialist for whatever task you have, supporting engineers at every stage:

General Spectrum Analysis (GPSA)The traditional swept mode with powerful automatic measurements like channel power, adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), occupied bandwidth (OBW), and harmonic distortion.
Real-Time Spectrum Analysis (RTSA)Uses density, waterfall, and Power vs. Time (PvT) views to clearly show the time, frequency, and amplitude dynamics of complex signals. Perfect for sorting out inter-channel interference, spectrum monitoring, and frequency-hopping analysis.
Vector Signal Analysis (VSA)Optional demodulation with a 200MHz vector demodulation bandwidth to handle broadband communications. Assesses transmitter quality via constellation, eye diagrams, EVM, and other key metrics.
Analog Demodulation (ADM)In-depth analysis for AM/FM/PM analog modulation, automatically measuring carrier power, modulation depth, frequency offset, and other important parameters.
EMI Pre-Compliance (EMI)Comes with built-in CISPR-compliant filters for conducting initial conducted and radiated pre-testing. This helps quickly spot and fix interference sources, speeding up your time-to-market.

Forget being chained to a bench! The RSA6000 Series offers fantastic flexibility:

  • Touch-optimised UI: The new touch interface is as smooth as a tablet, making complex spectrum measurements intuitive, efficient, and dead easy.
  • Web Control and Remote Working: No software installation needed! You can access the full control interface and see results in real-time right through your web browser. This makes remote monitoring, collaborative debugging, or demonstrations possible from absolutely anywhere.
  • Rich I/O and Programmability: Standard HDMI, LAN, and USB ports, plus a full SCPI command set and driver support, mean you can rapidly develop automated test systems.

With its five-mode, one-click switching, browser-based web control for remote working, and a lightweight, grab-and-go design, the RSA6000 is set to be the core platform for engineers across R&D, verification, and troubleshooting. It truly offers a high-end experience in a portable spectrum workstation.

This multi-functionality means it’s ready for all sorts of test challenges. Whether it’s deep characterisation for wireless communications, hunting down noise and interference in electronics R&D, keeping tabs on rogue signals during spectrum monitoring, or speeding up your product launch with EMI pre-tests, this spectrum analyser delivers comprehensive solutions.
