The Rigol RSA3045N-OCXO is a real-time spectrum analyzer integrating an Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) for exceptional frequency stability in demanding RF measurement applications. Operating from 9 kHz to 4.5 GHz, it delivers real-time signal acquisition and analysis with Ultra-Real technology across a standard 10 MHz real-time bandwidth (expandable to 40 MHz). The instrument combines spectrum analysis, Vector Network Analysis (VNA) capabilities, and tracking generator functionality up to 4.5 GHz, enabling S-parameter measurements, Distance to Fault analysis, and Smith chart characterization.
