OWON XSA800 Series
A 9-inch touchscreen benchtop analyser for everyday RF work: 9 kHz to 500 MHz, 1 GHz or 1.5 GHz, 1 Hz resolution bandwidth, EMI pre-compliance templates and an optional tracking generator. From €669.
One platform, four decisions already made for you
The OWON XSA800 is the entry point into benchtop spectrum analysis: a compact 375 mm-wide instrument with a 9-inch 1280×800 multi-touch display, covering 9 kHz to 500 MHz, 1 GHz or 1.5 GHz depending on model. Resolution bandwidth goes down to 1 Hz, and with the built-in 20 dB preamplifier the displayed average noise level reaches −160 dBm/Hz.
It is built for practical work rather than the lab bench alone: EMI pre-compliance resolution bandwidths (200 Hz, 9 kHz, 120 kHz and 1 MHz at −6 dB), full-band signal auto-location, a spectrogram, audio demodulation, modulation analysis and pass/fail limit testing with an alarm. Every model can be ordered with a tracking generator, which turns it into a scalar network analyser for filters, cables and antennas.
Why the XSA800
Selectivity, sensitivity and EMI tooling — the three things that decide whether an analyser is actually useful.
1 Hz resolution bandwidth
Resolution bandwidth from 1 Hz to 1 MHz in 1-3-5-10 steps, with a <5 typical 60 dB:3 dB shape factor — enough selectivity to pull two close carriers apart.
EMI pre-compliance
Dedicated −6 dB EMI bandwidths (200 Hz, 9 kHz, 120 kHz, 1 MHz) plus free OWON EMC testing software for Windows — find your emissions problems before the test house does.
Optional tracking generator
A tracking generator covering 100 kHz to the top of the model’s range, −40 to 0 dBm in 1 dB steps with ±3 dB flatness — scalar network analysis without a second instrument.
Connect & automate
LAN 10/100, USB host and device, HDMI 1.4 out and a 3.5 mm audio jack, with SCPI remote control and 256 MB of internal storage.
Who it’s for & best applications
- RF design, education and service benches
- EMC pre-compliance scanning before formal testing
- Filter, cable and antenna work with the tracking generator
- Interference hunting up to 1.5 GHz
- Anyone who needs a real analyser without a real analyser’s price
- Harmonic and spurious emission checks
- Occupied bandwidth and channel power measurement
- Audio demodulation of AM and FM signals
- Pass/fail limit testing with an alarm
- Scalar transmission and reflection with the tracking generator
Choose your model
The models differ in one thing: the top of the frequency range, and whether you take the tracking generator option. Resolution bandwidth, sensitivity, display and measurement set are identical across the series. Click any model for its full specifications and to buy.

Prices shown are for the analyser on its own. The tracking-generator version is selected on the product page — it adds a signal source that sweeps in step with the analyser, turning the instrument into a scalar network analyser for filters, cables and antennas.
