The Rigol RSA3030 is a real-time spectrum analyzer combining swept and real-time analysis modes to capture transient and complex RF signals that conventional analyzers miss. Operating from 9 kHz to 3.0 GHz, it delivers exceptional sensitivity with DANL as low as -161 dBm and phase noise of -102 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. Real-time analysis bandwidth reaches 10 MHz standard or up to 40 MHz optional, while 100% probability of intercept is achieved in 7.45 µs. The instrument combines precision RF measurement with versatile triggering and visualization.
