The Siglent SSA3032X-PLUS spectrum analyser is the successor to the popular SSA3032X. The PLUS series is in many ways similar to its predecessor, only the PLUS series has a touchscreen display and tracking generator. There are also several options available for the PLUS series. The spectrum analyser has a bandwidth of 9 kHz to 3.2 GHz with a very small noise. The resolution of the measurement can be set to only 10 Hz, which makes it possible to measure very precisely.
The low noise is a unique property of this spectrum analyser. This limits the measurement error on smaller signals in particular. The given noise figure is only -161dBm/Hz. This is low enough to be unnoticeable in typical use. The standard Pre-amplifier allows for measurements to small signals, but can be disabled for a one-to-one image of the signal.
With a bandwidth of up to 3.2 GHz, common wireless communication frequencies can be easily measured. WiFi and Bluetooth operate on 2.4 GHz, for example, but also GSM, which starts at 380 MHz and runs up to 1.9 GHz is easy to measure with these meters. A handy optional feature for measuring radio signals is the ability to easily measure Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR), a requirement for radio communication, because the available bandwidths may not overlap.
The large 10.1" WVGA display with 1024 by 600 pixels offers ample space for measurement data. The software supports up to 4 cursors simultaneously, which allows for easy data analysis.
