Product Description
The Rigol DSA815TG is a compact and light Spectrum Analyzer with premium performance for portable applications. The use of digital IF (intermediate frequency) technology guarantees reliability and performance to meet the most demanding RF applications.
The very large display (20.3 cm / 8") of the Rigol DSA815 Spectrum Analyzer with a resolution of 800x480pixels provides a very good overview over all its comfortable functions like Auto Tune, Auto Range, Auto Scale and Auto Couple. These functions enable the analyzer to acquire signals and match parameters automatically, instead of the manual process necessary with a traditional analyzer.
The Rigol Spectrum Analyzers have a sophisticated and easy to use user interface and offers multiple functions for all tasks. The menu navigation is very institutional in use and all functions and parameters are easy to reach because of the graphical interface.
Comprehensive Frequency AnalysisCovering frequencies from 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz, this spectrum analyzer accommodates a broad range of RF applications, from design and manufacturing to maintenance and education. The integrated tracking generator allows for accurate measurement and analysis, making it invaluable for signal tracing and filter response evaluation.
User-Friendly and Portable DesignWith its lightweight plastic housing and ergonomic shape, this handheld spectrum analyzer is easily portable. The 5-inch color LCD with 800 x 480 resolution, intuitive controls, and USB-C charging make it suitable for extended use in a variety of environments-laboratories, fieldwork, or classrooms.
Reliable Performance for ProfessionalsDelivering high accuracy (10 ppm), a reference level of -100 dBm to 10 dBm, and robust sweep and bandwidth specifications, this device supports versatile RF testing needs. Its battery life and rugged ABS exterior ensure dependable performance even during long work sessions in challenging conditions.
FAQ's of 1.5GHZ Spectrum Analyzer with Tracking Generator:
Q: How does the tracking generator function within the spectrum analyzer?
A: The tracking generator generates a swept signal synchronized with the spectrum analyzer's sweep, allowing users to measure the frequency response of filters, antennas, cables, and other components by tracking signal transmission and loss.
Q: What is the process for calibrating this spectrum analyzer?
A: Calibration involves connecting the analyzer to a known reference signal and following the built-in calibration procedure via the push button and rotary dial interface. This ensures measurement accuracy and consistent device performance.
Q: Where can this spectrum analyzer be used effectively?
A: This device is suitable for laboratories, electronics R&D centers, educational institutions, manufacturing inspections, and on-site RF testing. Its portability and battery-powered operation make it effective for both stationary and field applications.
Q: What are the main benefits of the USB-C rechargeable battery?
A: The built-in lithium battery, rechargeable via USB-C, provides 4 to 6 hours of typical operation, supporting flexible use without the constraints of constant mains power, making fieldwork and mobile testing more practical.
Q: When is it necessary to use the full dynamic range of 80 dB?
A: The 80 dB dynamic range is valuable when analyzing signals of vastly different power levels in a single measurement, such as assessing weak signals in the presence of strong ones or detecting signal leakage in sensitive environments.
Q: How do I ensure optimal accuracy during measurements?
A: To optimize accuracy, operate the analyzer within its specified temperature range (0C to 50C), regularly calibrate the device, use high-quality SMA connections, and select the correct RBW/VBW settings for the measurement at hand.
Q: What makes this model suited for educational purposes?
A: Its intuitive interface, vivid display, and comprehensive frequency and bandwidth range facilitate effective instruction and hands-on training in RF principles, making it ideal for teaching and laboratory demonstrations.
