EMI filter and quasi peak detector update for DSA1000 spectrum analyzer
This enhancement now allows users to perform their own EMI Pre Compliance tests up to 3 GHz. Although the device does not perform exactly like a fully compliant EMC test instrument according to CISPR 16-1-1, it is ideal for all necessary pre-tests.
Like their ‘little brother’ and bestseller DSA815, the DSA1030 and DSA1030A models are available with an additional 1.5 GHz tracking generator and an optional VSWR bridge, so they can also be used as a scalar network analyzer. A built-in pre-amplifier allows up to -148 dBm Displayed Average Noise Level (DANL), and with standard functions like power measurement, Harmonic Distortion or TOI the DSA1030A analyzers are ideal instruments for powerful and versatile high frequency measurements.
The use of a digital IF, which is standard for all Rigol spectrum analyzers, helps minimize errors due to filter switching and reference level uncertainties; it can even limit errors produced when switching between logarithmic and linear displays of amplitude, which occur when using a spectrum analyzer with a traditional analog IF section.
With the latest free option EMI Filter and Quasi Peak Detector and the integrated Advanced Measurement Kit the DSA1030A-TG spectrum analyzer is ideal for pre compliance tests of boards, devices and components. This allows customers to troubleshoot and test designs on their bench without having to schedule and pay for time at a full compliance lab. The pre testing helps engineers to stay within the EU-wide regulations for EMC already during the design phase and prevents from very expensive re-designs. It results in reduced development time and accelerated time-to-market.
