Features	Benefits
DPX® Live RF spectrum display	Discover the most difficult to find signal behavior. Improve test confidence and catch very short duration transients missed by conventional spectrum analyzers.
Triggering expertise	Save time by isolating signal anomalies on which other instruments can't even trigger. Isolate hard to find hardware and software anomalies with cross domain triggering between multiple instruments.
Seamless data capture	Observe the entire duration of signal events, like frequency hopping sequences, PLL settling times, turn on transients, and multiple pulses.
Multi-domain time correlation	Accelerate troubleshooting and analysis by pinpointing the root cause of problems in multiple domains. Analyze captured data in any/all domains at any time with correlated markers.
Automatic pulse measurement and detection	Simplify test and save test time with multiple measurements on the same captured data. Reduce cost of test with a versatile single instrument that replaces multiple test sets.

This includes typical test challenges for frequency hopping radio designs and how Tektronix solutions improve insight into your designs and speed time-to-market.
Fundamentals of Radar Measurements Webinar This seminar focuses on the Automatic Measurement - theory of operation - using Tektronix signal analysis and generation tools. This presentation starts with an overview of common tools used for the testing of radars and important measurement parameters impacting measurement results. It then focuses on the Theory of Operation for the Automatic Pulse Measurements that are available on the latest Tektronix Oscilloscopes and Spectrum Analyzer products. In conclusion it discusses the challenges and solutions for Signal Generation.
Fast, Low Level Spurious Search with Tektronix Real Time Signal Analyzers Historically, long test times have been required to perform low-level spur searches on high-performance RF and microwave transmitters. In this webinar, learn how the unique wideband architecture of the Tektronix Real Time Signal Analyzers provides a breakthrough approach for this critical test, resulting in faster time to results and a significantly reduced test budget.
EMI Diagnostics Using the RSA6100A Webinar This webinar looks at the history of Electromagnetic Interference and regulatory compliance, and discover how the historically developed methods of measurements have limitations in today's complex signal environment. It also examines the filters, detectors and averaging methods used to make EMI measurements, with a discussion of why they are defined the way they are. Advantages and limitations of the RSA6100A implementation are also discussed. Finally, it shows the RSA6100A in a common diagnostics application and see how the new capabilities of RTSAs can be used to reduce troubleshooting time in EMC diagnostics.
Greening of Wireless Webinar Mesuro and Tektronix introduce a new open loop active load pull technique for the design of complex, highly efficient power amplifiers, necessary for reducing the power consumption of tomorrow’s mobile infrastructure. The method utilizing microwave sampling scope technology to simultaneously capture waveform data ranging from DC to several tens of GHz is demonstrated.
High Power Nonlinear Measurements Webinar Accurate non-linear device characterization is the key to designing amplifiers at theoretical operating efficiencies. As traditional models have been limited by measurement systems that cannot operate at high power/gamma ratios, measurements using open-loop active harmonic load pull enable complete measurements and emulate the power and impedances the devices will see in the real world. This webinar discusses this new measurement technology.
