The Rigol DSA832E-TG is a 3.2 GHz spectrum analyzer with integrated tracking generator, purpose-built for stimulus-response RF testing across R&D, wireless, production, and EMI/EMC pre-compliance environments. All-digital IF architecture delivers class-leading sensitivity and noise performance while enabling narrowband resolution down to 10 Hz. The tracking generator spans DC to 3.2 GHz with output control from -40 dBm to 0 dBm, supporting passive component characterization, filter analysis, and amplifier gain measurements without external signal sources.
