The Siglent SSA3015X-PLUS spectrum analyser is the 1.5 GHz version in Siglent's SSA3000X-PLUS series. The SSA3015X-PLUS is a comprehensive spectrum analyser that is by default equipped with a Tracking Generator and the ability to communicate via a web server, which makes the possibilities for this analyser great.
The PLUS series offers very low noise and a resolution that can be set to only 1 Hz, allowing very precise measurements. Thanks to the standard Pre-amplifier, it is possible to measure small signals, but it can also be switched off to analyse the original signal.
The Siglent SSA3015X-PLUS offers a wide range of options to expand the capabilities of the analyser. For example, it can be used to perform EMC pre-compliance tests, in combination with EMI software and probes. Also, the reflections of an antenna can be measured using the reflection measuring kit.
On the large 10.1 Inch touchscreen WVGA screen of 1024 by 600 pixels there is a lot of space to display the measured data. With the possibility to use up to 4 cursors at the same time, extensive information can easily be extracted from the data. This data can be displayed on a screen at the same time as the measured waveform.
Siglent offers several series of spectrum analysers, of which you can find a brief overview below.
