The Rigol RSA5032 is a 3.2 GHz real-time spectrum analyzer that combines swept and real-time analysis to capture transient signals as short as 7.45 µs with 100% probability of intercept. Engineered for signal monitoring, interference analysis, EMI testing, wireless communication development, and RF component characterization, it delivers over 146,000 FFTs per second and achieves DANL of -165 dBm. The instrument features a 10.1-inch capacitive multi-touch display and supports touch gestures, keyboard, and mouse inputs.
