How to take differential measurements on a RSA5000

Posted on: December 16th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
16/12/2020
When using a differential probe with a real time spectrum analyser you will be using the instrument in General Purpose mode and then you will need to create a reference signal that can be referenced when using the differential probe to compare the two signals, then once the reference has been created next you will then use the build in trace math feature to compare the reference signal that was cr...

Working with correction factors

Posted on: December 16th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
16/12/2020
Some applications require adjusting the displayed amplitude to accurately account for losses in cables, gain in amplifiers/antennas, and other circuit elements. This note presents the steps to create, save, and recall correction factors on a DSA800 Series manually and programmatically.  Create a Correction Factor (manu...

How to measure a filter using a RIGOL Spectrum Analyser

Posted on: December 16th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
16/12/2020
This document provides step-by-step instructions on using the Rigol DSA-800 series of Spectrum Analysers to measure the characteristics of an RF Bandpass filter. NOTE: The DSA must have a Tracking Generator to effectively perform the following test. Normalize the trace (Optional) Many elements in an RF signal path can have nonlinear characteristics. In many cases, these nonlinear effects on...

16/12/2020
The Rigol DSA-815 Spectrum Analyser has a number of optional features that can be activated by obtaining an activation license.Currently, the advanced measurement kit (DSA8-AMK), VSWR (DSA8-VSWR), and EMI Toolkit (DSA8-EMI) are available.First, obtain the license key from your local Rigol representative....

Can I use the tracking generator on a DSA as a fixed RF source?

Posted on: December 16th, 2020 by Doug Lovell
16/12/2020
Many spectrum analysers, like the Rigol DSA800 series, have tracking generator options available. The tracking generator is an RF source that follows the frequency sweep settings of the spectrum analyser.  For example, if you configure a spectrum analyser to sweep from 100 to 200MHz, and enable the tracking generator, the output of the generator would output...
