RSA306B

USB real time spectrum analyzer, 9 kHz - 6.2 GHz, 40 MHz acquisition bandwidth.

The RSA306B requires a PC with Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit operating system. A USB 3.0 connection is required for operation of the RSA306B. 8 GB RAM and 20 GB free drive space is required for installation of SignalVu-PC. For full performance of the real time features of the RSA306B, an Intel Core i7 4th generation or greater processor is required. Processors of lower performance can be used, with reduced real-time performance.

Storage of streaming data requires that the PC be equipped with a drive capable of streaming storage rates of 300 MB/sec.

A variety of optional, licensed applications are available for purchase for SignalVu-PC. These licenses can be associated with and stored on either your PC or any RSA300 Series, RSA500 Series, RSA600 Series, and RSA7100A spectrum analyzers. Licenses can be purchased as an option to your hardware, or separately as a NL or a FL license.

Contact your local Tektronix Account Manager to purchase a license. If your purchased license is not ordered as an option to your instrument, you will receive an email with a list of the applications purchased and the URL to the Tektronix Product License Web page, where you will create an account and can then manage your licenses using the Tektronix Asset Management System (AMS): http://www.tek.com/products/product-license.

AMS provides an inventory of the license(s) in your account. It enables you to check out or check in a license and view the history of licenses.

Optional applications are enabled by one of the following license types:
