Siglent expands its RF analyser portfolio
There are two additions to Siglent Technologies’ RF instrument product group. The existing series of SVA1000X spectrum and vector network analysers feature an additional model with a 7.5 GHz maximum frequency. The newly introduced SVA1075X features vector network analysis like the two lower frequency models SVA1032X (3.2 GHz) and SVA1015X (1.5 GHz).
The second new release is a higher frequency version of the SSA3000X Plus series of spectrum analyser. The new SSA3075X builds on this platform and extends the maximum measurement frequency to 7.5 GHz.
Both series follow the same Siglent user interface concept. These include a 10.1in touch screen, web server for remote control and the ability to connect external mouse and keyboard for computer-like usage. The instrument series can be supplemented with additional broadcast measurement functions such as channel power, occupied bandwidth, carrier-to-noise ratio, harmonics, third order Intercept and spectrogram, all bundled in one option (SVA1000X-AMK).
The optional vector signal analysis (SVA1000X-AMA/DMA) offers detailed modulation analysis and signal distortion and interference can be visualised within a constellation diagram. Phase or magnitude errors as well as the error vector magnitude (EVM) can be determined for example PSK, MSK or QAM modulated signals. These options together enable the analysers to become powerful transceiver debugging tools.
For electromagnetic pre-compliance testing, the new instruments also feature an EMI filter (200 Hz, 9 kHz, 120 kHz and 1MHz) and quasi-peak detector package is available and can be retrofitted with software to simplify EMC pre-compliance measurements.
To address the needs of antenna installations, the SVA1000X series can additionally be upgraded with a distance-to-fault measurement function, which enables the user to detect defects on cables or improper connections.
The banner specifications such as DANL down to -161dBm/Hz, phase noise < -98dBc/Hz and a total amplitude accuracy down to 0.7 dB suits the many RF bench and field applications.
