The Rigol RSA3015E is a real-time spectrum analyzer engineered for signal acquisition and analysis from 9 kHz to 1.5 GHz. Built on Ultra-Real technology, it delivers real-time measurement capabilities with up to 10 MHz bandwidth (40 MHz option available) and captures signals with 100% probability of intercept as low as 7.45 µs. The 10.1-inch capacitive multi-touch display supports seven real-time visualization modes including spectrogram and density plots, while the compact form factor—16.14 × 8.82 × 5.32 inches, 4.65 kg—accommodates both benchtop and field deployments.
