Rigol RSA5065N – 6.5 GHz Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer with DPX Spectrum/Spectrogram

The Rigol RSA5065N is a 6.5 GHz real-time spectrum analyzer combining traditional spectrum analysis, real-time signal capture, vector signal analysis, EMI pre-compliance testing, and vector network analysis in a single benchtop instrument. Built on Rigol’s Ultra-Real technology, it captures transient signals as short as 7.45 µs with 100% probability of intercept. The analyzer delivers DANL as low as -165 dBm (typical, with optional preamplifier), 1 Hz minimum resolution bandwidth, and sweep speeds to 1 ms across full span. Real-time bandwidth operates at 25 MHz standard, upgradeable to 40 MHz. Advanced triggering—including frequency mask and IF power level triggers—isolates complex RF events. The 10.1-inch capacitive multi-touch display (1024 x 600 pixels) supports intuitive gesture control alongside traditional button operation. VNA capabilities include S11, S21, and DTF measurements with Smith and polar chart displays. Phase noise measures <-108 dBc/Hz typical, with level measurement uncertainty <0.8 dB. The instrument accepts RF inputs via SMB male, BNC female, and N-type female connectors. Networking via 100/1000Base-T Ethernet and four USB 2.0 host ports enable remote control and data transfer. Optimal performance requires 20°C to 30°C operating temperature and minimum 30-minute warm-up. Weighing 4.95 kg with dimensions of 410 mm × 224 mm (W × H), it integrates into production and laboratory test environments. Optional upgrades include 40 MHz real-time bandwidth, preamplifier, and high stability clock (OCXO).
