The Rigol RSA5032-TG is a 3.2 GHz real-time spectrum analyzer with integrated tracking generator, designed for RF signal analysis, component characterization, and network testing. It captures transient and intermittent signals across 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz with 25.7 MHz real-time bandwidth and -165 dBm typical noise floor. The tracking generator (4 MHz to 3.2 GHz, -20 to 0 dBm output) enables scalar network analysis for filter, amplifier, and RF component measurement without external instrumentation. Resolution bandwidth spans 1 Hz to 10 MHz; video bandwidth from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz. Measurement functions include spectrum analysis, channel power, adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), occupied bandwidth, harmonic and intermodulation distortion, and scalar network analysis (S11 return loss, S21 transmission coefficient). Up to 1.5 million spectral points enable detailed signal characterization. Multiple trigger modes—event, edge, pulse width, line, video, runt, timeout, and optional protocol—support complex measurement scenarios. Demodulation options include AM and FM standard, with optional ASK, FSK, PSK, and QAM. Phase noise measures -108 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (10 kHz offset). Amplitude accuracy ±0.5 dB typical; tracking generator output flatness ±0.5 dB across the full frequency range. RF connectors are 50 Ohm Type N female; external trigger and reference clock use BNC connectors. USB interfaces support both device control and firmware updates.
