Siglent SNA5000A-SA Spectrum Analyzer Function

SIGLENT SNA5000-SA Spectrum Analyzer Option

The SNA5000-SA option enables the Spectrum Analyzer (SA) measurement application on SIGLENT SNA5000A Series Vector Network Analyzers. This option allows engineers to perform detailed frequency-domain signal analysis directly on the VNA platform, eliminating the need for a separate spectrum analyzer.

With the SA option activated, the SNA5000A becomes a versatile RF analysis instrument capable of measuring signal spectra, noise, spurious emissions, and modulation-related parameters, making it ideal for RF design, troubleshooting, and production testing.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Spectrum Analyzer application
  Perform spectrum measurements within the SNA5000A user interface.

• Wide frequency coverage
  Matches the frequency range of the installed SNA5000A model for consistent RF analysis.

• Advanced spectrum measurements
  Includes Channel Power, ACPR, Occupied Bandwidth, TOI, CNR, and Spectrum Monitor functions.

• High dynamic range and low noise floor
  Enables accurate analysis of weak signals, harmonics, and spurious components.

• Markers, limit lines, and trace functions
  Fast peak search, limit testing, and trace analysis for efficient evaluation.

• Seamless integration with VNA workflows
  Shared triggering, calibration environment, and data handling between VNA and SA modes.

• Software license option
  Activated via license key — no additional hardware required.
