Chapter 3 Functions of the Front Panel of
RTSA
The real-time spectrum analyzer (RTSA) contains the digital IF component that has a
strong processing capability. In real-time mode, all signal samples are processed to
produce measurement results or initiate a trigger. In most cases, like the frequency
swept analysis, the real-time analysis produces scalar results, such as power or
amplitude.
The real-time spectrum analyzer has the following features:
— Seamless capture and analysis;
— High-speed measurement;
— Stable and consistent measurement speed;
— Frequency mask trigger;
— Diversified and advanced composite display
In general, the high-speed data stream in real-time mode can be used in the
following two ways: to be served as the data source of composite spectrum display
or be compared with the frequency mask to produce the frequency mask trigger.
This chapter describes in detail the function keys on the front panel and their
associated menu functions in real-time mode.
Note: The keys or menus that have the same functions as those in GPSA will not be
described in this chapter. For details, refer to the relevant contents in Chapter 2.
