OWON XSA3000-R Series
A real-time spectrum analyser and a vector network analyser in one 10.4-inch touchscreen instrument: 100 MHz real-time bandwidth, 6.25 µs 100% POI and vector S11/S21 with 90 dB dynamic range — to 3.6, 6.0 or 8.0 GHz.
See the signals a swept analyser never shows you
A conventional swept spectrum analyser looks at one slice of the band at a time, so anything short-lived that happens while it is looking elsewhere is simply lost. The OWON XSA3000-R sweeps nothing: it digitises a 100 MHz span continuously and transforms it in real time, catching any event lasting 6.25 µs or longer with 100% probability of intercept.
That turns intermittent, hopping and bursty signals — the ones that are hardest to chase — into something you can actually see, in a probability-density view, a waterfall, a 3D spectrum or a power-versus-time plot. And because every model also carries a tracking generator and a vector network analyser with S11/S21 and 90 dB of dynamic range, the same box characterises the filter, antenna or cable you are debugging — including distance-to-fault location.
Why the XSA3000-R
Two instruments in one: a real-time spectrum analyser that misses nothing, and a vector network analyser that measures what you build.
Real-time, not swept
100 MHz of real-time analysis bandwidth with 60 dB spurious-free dynamic range and a 6.25 µs 100% POI — density spectrum, waterfall, 3D spectrum and power-vs-time views, with a 200,000-frame spectrogram.
Vector network analyser
Vector S11 and S21 with 90 dB of dynamic range and a Smith chart, plus cable fault location (DTF) — characterise filters, antennas and feeders without a second instrument.
10.4″ multi-touch
A 10.4-inch multi-touch screen that also takes a mouse and keyboard, with −165 dBm/Hz DANL, <0.7 dB amplitude accuracy and 1 Hz resolution bandwidth.
EMI-ready & automatable
Over 200 built-in EMI templates for pre-compliance work, CHP/ACPR/OBW/CNR/SEM/CCDF/TOI measurements and AM/FM/PM demodulation — driven over LAN or USB with SCPI, LabVIEW and IVI.
Who it’s for & best applications
Real-time analysis earns its keep wherever the signal you need to see does not sit still and wait for you.
- RF and wireless design — hopping, bursty and TDD signals
- EMC pre-compliance, with 200+ built-in EMI templates
- Interference hunting and spectrum monitoring
- Antenna, filter and cable characterisation via the built-in VNA
- Labs and production benches that need SCPI / LabVIEW / IVI automation
- Catching intermittent emissions that a swept analyser walks past
- Frequency-hopping and pulsed-radar characterisation
- Pre-compliance radiated and conducted emission scans
- Distance-to-fault location on feeders and coaxial runs
- Modulation analysis — AM, FM and PM demodulation
Choose your model
Three models on one platform — the only difference is the top of the frequency range, and the tracking generator that follows it. Everything else is identical: 100 MHz real-time bandwidth, 6.25 µs POI, −165 dBm/Hz DANL, the vector network analyser and the 10.4-inch touchscreen.
