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. PA Off PA On DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories 5 RIGOL 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. Start Line Stop Line Measure Control Measured Result 6 Parameters DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories RIGOL 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. CH Spacing Adj CH BW Main CH BW 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. Integ BW DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories CH Pwr Span 7 RIGOL 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. 8 DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories RIGOL 6. C/N Ratio Measures the power of both the carrier and the noise within specified bandwidth and calculates their ratio. Offset Freq Noise BW Carrier BW 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. DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories 9 RIGOL 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". 10 DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories RIGOL 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 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 50 and GEN OUTPUT 50 terminal of the analyzer. Filter Measurements Example The frequency response of a 300 MHz low-pass filter is shown below.

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. 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. 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. LED Indicator PC Analyzer GPIB DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories USB 13 RIGOL 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. 14 DSA1000&DSA1000A Options&Accessories RIGOL 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.
