Preamplifier

Turning on the preamplifier reduces the displayed average noise level in order to

distinguish small signals from the noise when working with small signals. For the

instruments supported option DSA1030-PA, pressing the front panel key AMPT, a

corresponding menu will appear on the right of the screen. Then, press RF Preamp

to turn on or off the preamplifier. An icon will be displayed on the left of the screen

when the preamplifier is on. The preamplifier will be disabled automatically when the

input attenuation is set higher than 30 dB.

The measurement results when the preamplifier is off and on are shown below,

respectively. As can be seen, small input signals can be displayed by the analyzer

when the preamplifier is on.

Advanced Measurement Functions

Option DSA1000-AMK provides plenty of advanced measurement functions including

T-Power (Time domain Power), ACP (Adjacent Channel Power), Chan Pwr (Channel

Power), OBW (Occupied Bandwidth), EBW (Emission Bandwidth), C/N Ratio, Harmo

Dist (Harmonic Distortion), TOI (Third Order Intermodulation) and Pass/Fail. The

measure mode can be Single or Continuous and you can control the measurement

status: Restart, Pause or Resume.

Pressing the front panel key Meas, the corresponding menu will appear on the right

of the screen. Press Meas Fctn and choose a measurement function. The screen will

be divided into two windows. The upper one is for basic measure, displaying sweep

trace, and the lower one shows the measurement results.

1. T-Power (Time domain Power)

Enables the Zero Span Mode and calculates the power within time domain. The

measurable power types are Peak, Average and RMS.

2. ACP (Adjacent Channel Power)

Measures the power of the main channel and the adjacent channels and

calculates the power difference between the main and each of the adjacent

channels. When enabled, both the span and resolution bandwidth of the analyzer

are adjusted to be smaller automatically.

3. Chan Pwr (Channel Power)

Measures the power and the power density within a specified channel bandwidth.

The span and bandwidth are automatically set to smaller values in this

measurement type.

4. OBW (Occupied Bandwidth)

Calculates the power within whole bandwidth by integral operation and works out

the occupied bandwidth by this value based on the specified power ratio. The

center frequency difference between the measured channel and the analyzer will

also be given in the measurement results.

5. EBW (Emission Bandwidth)

Measures the bandwidth of the two points at both sides of the max signal when

the amplitude of this max signal falls off X dB within the span range.

6. C/N Ratio

Measures the power of both the carrier and the noise within specified bandwidth

and calculates their ratio.

7. Harmo Dist (Harmonic Distortion)

Measures each order harmonic power and THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of

carrier. The available range is up to 10 orders. And the fundamental wave

amplitude of the carrier must be higher than -50 dBm or else the measurement

will be invalid.

8. TOI (Third Order Intermodulation)

Measures the parameters of the TOI production generated by two signals which

have the same amplitude and similar frequency. The measured results include the

frequency and amplitude of the Base Lower, Base Upper, 3rd Order Lower and 3rd

Order Upper signals, as well as the Intercept of both the 3rd Order Lower and 3rd

Order Upper signals.

9. Pass/Fail

Compares the measured curve with the pre-edited, if the related rules are met,

the result will be “Pass”, or else is “Fail”.

3 GHz Tracking Generator

When the Tracking Generator (DSA1030-TG3 Option) is on, a signal with the same

frequency with the current sweep signal will be outputted from the GEN OUTPUT 50

Ω terminal on the front panel. The power of the signal could be set through the menu.

And two working modes, Power Sweep Output and Fixed Power Output, are available.

The characteristic of the DUT (Device Under Test) can be acquired by measuring the

response of the DUT stimulated by the Tracking Generator. For example, the

frequency response of a filter can be measured by using the Tracking Generator.

Connect the filter under measure to the RF INPUT 50Ω and GEN OUTPUT 50Ω

terminal of the analyzer.

Measurements Example

The frequency response of a 300 MHz low-pass filter is shown below.

USB-GPIB Interface Converter

By using RIGOL USB-GPIB interface converter, the spectrum analyzer could be

connected to a GPIB Bus Controller on PC. That is, the analyzer has been expanded

GPIB interface and could finish all sorts of work more easily through GPIB instructions.

And the main performance characters are shown below.

Connect the USB interface of the converter to the USB Host interface of the analyzer,

and connect the GPIB interface to the GPIB Bus Controller on PC.

 Enable GPIB control of the analyzer through the USB

Host port.

 GPIB primary address of the analyzer can be assigned

through the host instrument (PC).

 Powered by USB Host, do not need external power

supply.

 LED indicator provides the power status.

Front Panel Cover

The cover is provided to avoid damage to the front panel of the analyzer during

transportation.

Before putting your analyzer into action, remove the front panel cover by releasing

latches at both sides, and sliding in the direction of the arrows as shown in the figure

below.

Desk Mount Instrument Arm

Using an arm, the analyzer could be mounted on the workdesk to save your operation

space. The height and angle of the instrument could be adjusted freely to acquire a

supreme comfort and efficiency making measurement and observation conveniently.

To use the arm, please order the related option.

The effects figures of an analyzer installed to an arm are given below.
