1 Hz Minimum Resolution Bandwidth (RBW)
The 1 Hz minimum RBW of the XSA1000P series allows users to distinguish and analyze extremely narrow signals with exceptional clarity. This ultra-fine resolution is ideal for measuring closely spaced carriers, detecting low-level spurious emissions, and performing detailed spectrum monitoring. With such precision, engineers gain deeper insight into signal integrity, noise behavior, and compliance testing requirements.
Waterfall plot graphic
The Waterfall plot displays signal strength over time in a color-coded spectrum, making it easy to track intermittent signals, drifting carriers, or interference sources. By visualizing frequency, amplitude, and time in a single view, it provides powerful insight into signal behavior that standard spectrum traces may miss.
