OWON XSA3080-R 9kHz-8 GHz Real Time Spectrum Analyzer
The OWON XSA3080-R is a professional real-time spectrum analyzer with integrated vector network analyzer (VNA), covering 9 kHz to 8 GHz. Designed for RF development, production testing, and EMC pre-compliance, it delivers fast capture, high sensitivity, and versatile analysis in one compact instrument.
9 kHz to 8.0 GHz, in real time
The OWON XSA3080-R is a real-time spectrum analyser covering 9 kHz to 8.0 GHz — enough for C-band, satellite downlinks and radar work alongside every Wi-Fi and IoT band. Instead of sweeping the band one slice at a time, it digitises a 100 MHz span continuously, so any event lasting 6.25 µs or longer is captured with 100% probability of intercept rather than being missed between sweeps.
It is also a vector network analyser. A tracking generator covering 100 kHz – 8.0 GHz and vector S11/S21 measurement with 90 dB of dynamic range let the same instrument characterise a filter, match an antenna or locate a cable fault by distance. Add −165 dBm/Hz DANL, <0.7 dB amplitude accuracy, 200+ built-in EMI templates and a 10.4-inch multi-touch screen, and one box covers signal hunting, pre-compliance and component test.
Nothing gets past it
A swept analyser looks at one slice of the band at a time and loses whatever happens while it is looking somewhere else. The XSA3080-R watches 100 MHz at once and catches any burst longer than 6.25 µs — every time, not on average.
What the XSA3080-R does
Real-time capture
100 MHz real-time analysis bandwidth with 60 dB spurious-free dynamic range and a 6.25 µs 100% POI — density spectrum, waterfall, 3D and power-vs-time views.
Vector network analyser
A tracking generator over 100 kHz – 8.0 GHz plus vector S11/S21 with 90 dB dynamic range, a Smith chart and distance-to-fault cable location.
EMC pre-compliance
More than 200 built-in EMI templates, with CHP, ACPR, OBW, CNR, SEM, CCDF and TOI measurements and AM/FM/PM demodulation.
Automatable
LAN, USB device and USB host with SCPI, LabVIEW and IVI over USB-TMC, VXI-11, socket or Telnet — plus NI-MAX, a web browser interface and Spectrum Vision software.
Ideal for
- RF and wireless design across C-band, satellite downlinks and radar work alongside every Wi-Fi and IoT band
- Interference hunting and spectrum monitoring
- EMC pre-compliance scanning with the built-in templates
- Antenna, filter and feeder characterisation via the VNA
Measurement functions
- Real-time views: density spectrum, waterfall, 3D, power-vs-time
- 200,000-frame spectrogram for long-duration capture
- Vector S11 / S21 and distance-to-fault location
- CHP, ACPR, OBW, CNR, harmonic, monitor, CCDF, SEM, TOI
