SSA3000X Series
A light, affordable all-digital-IF spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 2.1 or 3.2 GHz — with a standard preamplifier, 1 Hz resolution bandwidth, −161 dBm/Hz displayed average noise level and a bright 10.1-inch display. Everyday spectrum analysis for R&D, education, production, maintenance and EMI pre-compliance, with an included tracking-generator license and optional EMI, advanced-measurement and reflection kits.
Spectrum Analyzer
A light, affordable all-digital-IF spectrum analyzer covering 9 kHz to 2.1 or 3.2 GHz — with a standard preamplifier, 1 Hz resolution bandwidth, −161 dBm/Hz displayed average noise level and a bright 10.1-inch display. Everyday spectrum analysis for R&D, education, production, maintenance and EMI pre-compliance, with an included tracking-generator license and optional EMI, advanced-measurement and reflection kits.
Both models share the same platform, user interface and remote-control command set, so you choose purely on frequency — then scale the analysis with EMI, advanced-measurement and reflection kits as your work grows. siglent.eu is the official EU distributor, with stock, warranty and local support.
Key highlights
All-digital IF
All-digital intermediate-frequency technology for stable, repeatable measurements down to a 1 Hz resolution bandwidth.
Standard preamplifier
A 20 dB preamplifier is fitted as standard across 9 kHz–3.2 GHz, pushing DANL to −161 dBm/Hz for weak-signal work.
10.1" WVGA display
A bright 1024×600 display with four independent traces and markers — easy to read right across the bench.
Tracking generator included
siglent.eu models ship with a free TG license — scalar-network and, with the reflection kit, VSWR measurements out of the box.
Models in the series
Choose by frequency — both models share the same platform and software.
Core capabilities
Digital IF for accurate, repeatable results and RBW from 1 Hz to 1 MHz in a 1-3-10 sequence.
A 9 kHz–3.2 GHz preamplifier fitted as standard for low-noise, weak-signal measurements.
Channel power, ACPR, OBW, time-domain power, TOI and more with the Advanced Measurement Kit.
CISPR-16 EMI filters and a quasi-peak detector with the EMI kit plus EasySpectrum software.
Add the reflection kit for on-screen VSWR, return loss and reflection coefficient.
100 kHz–3.2 GHz tracking generator for scalar-network and filter measurements.
Features in depth
Sensitivity you can rely on
With a standard 20 dB preamplifier and all-digital IF, the SSA3000X reaches a −161 dBm/Hz displayed average noise level — so small signals stay visible without any add-on hardware.
- Standard preamplifier, 9 kHz – 3.2 GHz
- −161 dBm/Hz DANL (typ., preamp on, normalised to 1 Hz)
- 1 Hz minimum resolution bandwidth for close-in detail
- Phase noise −98 dBc/Hz @ 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset (typ.)
Rear panel, connectivity & remote control
USB, LAN (VXI-11) and a 10 MHz reference in/out make the SSA3000X easy to automate and to lock to a house reference — fully SCPI-compatible for scripted test.
- USB Host + USB Device, LAN (VXI-11, 10/100)
- 10 MHz reference input and output (BNC)
- External trigger input, 5 V TTL
- SCPI remote control + free EasySpectrum PC software
Automatic measurements & pre-compliance
Beyond a plain trace, the SSA3000X adds real measurement power — channel power, ACPR, occupied bandwidth and more with the Advanced kit, plus CISPR-16 EMI pre-compliance with the EMI kit.
- Advanced kit: channel power, ACPR, OBW, T-power, TOI, spectrum monitor
- EMI kit: CISPR-16 filters + quasi-peak detector + EasySpectrum
- Reflection kit: VSWR, return loss, reflection coefficient
- Four traces & markers, zero-span and demodulation

Frequently asked questions
Frequency range: the SSA3021X covers 9 kHz to 2.1 GHz, the SSA3032X to 3.2 GHz. Everything else — the platform, 1 Hz RBW, standard preamplifier, 10.1-inch display and software — is identical.
On siglent.eu the SSA3021X and SSA3032X ship with a free tracking-generator license, so you can perform scalar-network and — with the reflection kit — VSWR / return-loss measurements out of the box.
Yes, with the EMI kit (EMI-SSA3000X): it adds CISPR-16 EMI filters and a quasi-peak detector plus the EasySpectrum EMI pre-compliance software. Pair it with the SRF5030/SRF5030T near-field probes to locate emissions.
The Advanced Measurement Kit (AMK-SSA3000X) adds channel power, ACPR, occupied bandwidth, time-domain power, third-order intercept and a spectrum monitor — all on-screen.
The SSA3000X is the classic series (10.1-inch display, up to 3.2 GHz). The SSA3000X Plus is the newer platform with a touchscreen and improved specifications. This page covers the standard SSA3000X.
