Used TEKTRONIX RTP-A2A #9154229 for sale

TEKTRONIX RTP-A2A is an electronic test and measurement instrument designed for signal integrity, emission and compliance testing of RF products operating between 10 kHz and 2 GHz. It is a modular system which enables testing to be performed in complex applications requiring multiple instruments. RTP-A2A is comprised of up to three instrument frames, a power supply and two controller cards. Each frame includes two main electronic boards, one containing the Ethernet-controlled signal sources for generation of signals up to 2 GHz and the other contains the signal analyzer which is used to measure the response of the DUT to a signal. The source and analyzer boards are interchangeable between the three frames enabling users to customize the instrument for specific applications. TEKTRONIX RTP-A2A consists of a number of functional modules, including an RF signal generator, an RF signal analyzer, a frequency counter, a network analyzer, a VSWR bridge, and an EMI receiver. The RF source and signal analyzer modules are used to measure the signal integrity and emission of an RF device under test (DUT). The frequency counter module is used to measure frequency, while the network analyzer measures gain, bandwidth, noise floor, and pulse response. The VSWR bridge can be used to measure isolation between two DUTs. Lastly, the EMI receiver is used to detect electromagnetic interference in an FCC or CISPR compliant test. RTP-A2A is capable of two-, three-, and four-port measurements, allowing users to observe the radiation effect of a component placed between two other components. It also includes external control options for remote control of the instrument via GPIB, RS-232, and ethernet. This enables it to be integrated into automated test systems or controlled by a computer. The instrument's internal memory can store measurements for transfer to a computer or other output device for further analysis or reporting. TEKTRONIX RTP-A2A is well suited for RF design, verification, and troubleshooting applications. Its modular design enables scalable, reliable, and accurate testing across a range of different RF applications. With its high-performance signal source and signal analyzers, frequency counter, network analyzer, VSWR bridge, and EMI receiver, RTP-A2A provides a comprehensive way of performing RF signal integrity, emission and compliance testing.
