OWON XSA3036-R 9kHz-3.6 GHz Real Time Spectrum Analyzer
The OWON XSA3036-R is a professional real-time spectrum analyzer with integrated vector network analyzer (VNA), covering 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz. Designed for RF development, production testing, and EMC pre-compliance, it delivers fast capture, high sensitivity, and versatile analysis in one compact instrument.
OWON XSA3036-R Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer + Vector Network Analyzer (9 kHz – 3.6 GHz)
The OWON XSA3036-R is a powerful real-time spectrum analyzer with integrated vector network analysis (VNA), designed for RF engineers who need fast, accurate insight into modern wireless and electronic systems. Covering 9 kHz to 3.6 GHz, the XSA3036-R combines high real-time performance, excellent sensitivity, and versatile measurement functions in a single, cost-effective instrument. With 100% Probability of Intercept (POI) down to 6.25 µs and 60 dB spurious-free dynamic range, the XSA3036-R reliably captures short-duration and intermittent RF events that traditional swept analyzers may miss. A typical DANL of −165 dBm/Hz, phase noise of −106 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset (1 GHz), and 1 Hz minimum RBW ensure precise analysis of low-level and closely spaced signals.
Designed for Efficiency and Ease of Use
A large 10.4-inch multi-touch display supports intuitive gesture control, while mouse and keyboard compatibility simplifies detailed analysis and reporting. The instrument also supports web-browser remote control from PC or mobile devices, allowing monitoring and operation without dedicated software installation. Connectivity options include LAN, USB Device, and USB Host for easy integration into automated test setups.
Integrated Vector Network Analyzer (VNA)
The built-in VNA (Vector S11 and S21) enables fast characterization of filters, amplifiers, antennas, and cables without additional equipment. With up to 90 dB network analysis dynamic range and a standard tracking generator, the XSA3036-R is ideal for RF component development, validation, and troubleshooting.
