RSA306 Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer and SignalVu-PC 
Improve Your Wireless and RF Classes with Live Signals 
Demonstrate and Provide Hands-on Experience with LIVE Signals 
Basic RF 
Concepts 
!  Demonstrate signal behavior with correlated 
analysis of signals in several domains. 
!  Hands-on experience for students with spectrum 
analyzer architecture: 
-  Demonstrating difference from a receiver, spectrum 
analyzer option (frequency, span, and amplitude). 
-  Multi-domain correlated analysis of a PLL settling 
time: 
o  Spectrum with Spectrogram Trace, Spectrogram, 
Frequency vs. Time, Time Overview 
Vector Signal 
Analysis 
!  Teach multiple modulation concepts” 
-  FSK to QPSK to WLAN/OFDM analysis. 
Commercial 
Wireless 
!  Students practice basic IEEE 802.11 WLAN 
transmitter conformance measurements like: 
-  EVM, SEM, Channel Power 
EMI and FCC 
Compliance 
and 
Diagnostics 
!  Using live signals, explain and show the differences 
between Compliance, Pre-compliance, and 
Diagnostics and how to mitigate project delays. 
!  Demonstrate EMI and FCC Diagnostics with the 
RSA306 and SignalVu-PC with the +Peak CISPR 
filter. 
Students: Offline Analysis with free 
vector signal analysis software 
Professors can send a link to a file 
recorded during class for post-analysis 
homework 
Instructors: Live Demos with a 
compact spectrum analyzer
