Spectrum Analyzer
The MDO3000 is the first oscilloscope in its class to include an integrated
spectrum analyzer. Each oscilloscope includes a spectrum analyzer with a
frequency range of 9 kHz up to the analog bandwidth of the instrument. The
spectrum analyzer frequency range of each instrument can be upgraded
from 9 kHz to 3 GHz (option MDO3SA), enabling spectral analysis on most
consumer wireless standards.
Fast and accurate spectral analysis
When using the spectrum analyzer input, the MDO3000 Series display
becomes a full-screen Frequency Domain view.
Key spectral parameters such as Center Frequency, Span, Reference
Level, and Resolution Bandwidth are all adjusted quickly and easily using
the dedicated front-panel menus and keypad.

Intelligent, efficient markers
In a traditional spectrum analyzer, it can be a very tedious task to turn on
and place enough markers to identify all your peaks of interest. The
MDO3000 Series makes this process far more efficient by automatically
placing markers on peaks that indicate both the frequency and the
amplitude of each peak. You can adjust the criteria that the oscilloscope
uses to automatically find the peaks.
The highest amplitude peak is referred to as the reference marker and is
shown in red. Marker readouts can be switched between Absolute and
Delta readouts. When Delta is selected, marker readouts show each peak's
delta frequency and delta amplitude from the reference marker.
Two manual markers are also available for measuring non-peak portions of
the spectrum. When enabled, the reference marker is attached to one of
the manual markers, enabling delta measurements from anywhere in the
spectrum. In addition to frequency and amplitude, manual marker readouts
also include noise density and phase noise readouts depending on whether
Absolute or Delta readouts are selected. A "Reference Marker to Center"
function instantly moves the frequency indicated by the reference marker to
center frequency.
