SSA3000X-R Series
A real-time spectrum analyzer that also hides a vector network analyzer inside. Covering 9 kHz to 3.2, 5.0 or 7.5 GHz with up to 40 MHz of real-time bandwidth and a 7.2 µs 100% probability of intercept, it catches the hopping, bursting and colliding signals a swept analyzer misses — shown as density, spectrogram, 3D and power-versus-time. Every model also ships with a 1-path-2-port VNA (vector S11/S21) and a distance-to-fault locator at no extra charge, plus a standard preamplifier, tracking generator and a 10.1-inch multi-touch screen.
Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

All three models share the same real-time platform, multi-touch interface and remote-control command set, so you choose on frequency — then scale with the RT40 real-time upgrade, modulation, EMI and advanced-measurement licenses as your work grows. siglent.eu is the official EU distributor, with stock, warranty and local support.

Features in depth
Catch what a swept analyzer misses
With up to 40 MHz of real-time bandwidth and a 7.2 µs 100% probability of intercept, the SSA3000X-R captures rare, fast and overlapping events — then shows them as density, spectrogram, 3D or power-versus-time so nothing hides in the gaps.
- 25 MHz real-time bandwidth standard, 40 MHz optional (RT40)
- 7.2 µs 100% POI · 60 dB real-time dynamic range
- Density, spectrogram, 3D and PvT multi-views
- Frequency-mask and advanced triggering for transient capture
A vector network analyzer, built in
Every SSA3000X-R includes a 1-path-2-port vector network analyzer and a distance-to-fault locator — measure amplitude and phase, vector S11/S21 and locate cable faults without a second instrument.
- Vector S11 & S21, amplitude and phase
- 100 kHz – 7.5 GHz, up to 90 dB dynamic range
- Distance-to-fault for cable & antenna testing
- Standard preamplifier and tracking generator
Rear panel, connectivity & automation
LAN, USB and an optional USB-GPIB adapter make the R straightforward to automate; SCPI, LabVIEW and IVI drivers over USB-TMC, VXI-11, Socket or Telnet cover any test framework, and the web server mirrors the screen to any device.
- LAN, USB Device & USB Host (USB-GPIB option)
- SCPI / LabVIEW / IVI remote control
- 10 MHz reference in/out, external trigger
- Web browser, NI-MAX, EasySpectrum & file explorer

Frequently asked questions
Frequency range: SSA3032X-R 3.2 GHz, SSA3050X-R 5.0 GHz and SSA3075X-R 7.5 GHz. Everything else — 25 MHz real-time bandwidth, the built-in VNA and DTF, standard preamplifier and tracking generator, multi-touch screen and software — is identical.
It processes a wide slice of spectrum continuously — 25 MHz as standard, 40 MHz with the RT40 option — with a 7.2 µs 100% probability of intercept, so brief, hopping and overlapping signals that a swept analyzer skips are captured and shown as density, spectrogram, 3D or power-versus-time.
Yes. Every SSA3000X-R ships with a 1-path-2-port VNA (vector S11 and S21, up to 90 dB dynamic range) and a distance-to-fault locator for cable and antenna testing — at no extra charge.
RT40 (40 MHz real-time bandwidth), AMK (advanced measurements), AMA (analog AM/FM modulation), WDMA (wideband digital ASK/FSK/MSK/PSK/QAM) and EMI (CISPR-16 pre-compliance).
The R adds true real-time analysis (density/spectrogram/3D/PvT) plus a built-in vector network analyzer and DTF. The Plus is a swept analyzer without real-time capture or the VNA. Both share the 10.1-inch multi-touch platform.
