PSA Series 5 RF Spectrum Analyzers
Bench-top performance
handheld convenience
The PSA Series 5 is the latest and highest performance
true handheld RF spectrum analyzer from Aim-TTi.
It complements the existing PSA Series 2 by offering a
significantly expanded feature set similar to that found
on analyzers costing several times as much, combined with
a frequency capability up to 6 GHz.
Genuinely hand-held
The PSA Series 5 is sufficiently small and lightweight to fit comfortably into the
hand - unlike most other so-called handheld spectrum analyzers.
A removable screen protector and sun-shield combines with rubberised buffers top
and bottom to enhance its use in the field.
High resolution colour display
The 4.3” TFT display provides a wealth of detailed information. Colour is used
to clearly distinguish between multiple traces, markers and limit lines.
The touch-screen uses a three row hierarchical menu system to provide fast
and intuitive control of the many functions.
Battery operation of more than three hours
The PSA Series 5 operates from a Li-ion rechargeable battery that can provide
more than three hours of continuous operation.
If switched off to conserve power, it returns to normal operation within a few
seconds of switch-on with all data retained. It can also be set to switch off
automatically after a set time from the last action.
For continuous bench top operation it can be powered from its AC adaptor
which also recharges the batteries in less than 3 hours.
Unlimited data storage
With nearly 2GB of internal memory, the PSA Series 5 can store thousands
of waveforms, instrument set-ups, or complete screen images.
With option U02 installed, it can also log tens of thousands of results and
make use of compensation tables and limit patterns.
All files can be saved with either default file names or with user defined
names using the alpha-numeric keypad.
USB Flash drives can be used to copy and backup data, or transfer it
to a PC for analysis. Alternatively a USB device interface is
included for direct connection to a PC for file transfer.
PSA3605 - 3.6GHz
PSA6005 - 6.0GHz

The large TFT display of the
PSA Series 5 shows a wealth of
information.
It makes use of colour to clearly
distinguish the traces (live, view and
reference) from the markers, limit
lines and graticule.
Detailed set-up information is
shown above the graticule with
marker readout and further status
below.
Context-sensitive help
The PSA Series 5 incorporates
extensive on-screen help
information.
This can be automatically selected
to relate to the current menu
hierarchy.
Full status display
Instant access is provided to a
multi-page status screen that
shows the complete status of the
instrument including detailed
system information.
Connectivity
In addition to the RF input, the
analyzer includes connectors for DC
power, USB host, USB device, trigger
in/out, and audio out.
Built-in loudspeaker
Audio de-modulation can be
accessed via the built-in speaker or
external phones.
The size a hand-held instrument should be !
Ruggedised casing
The casing of the PSA Series 5
includes rubberised buffers top and
bottom to help resist knocks and
scratches.
The tilt stand can be moved to the
top of the instrument to act as a
screen protector when in transit.
In this mode it can also act as a
sun-shield when in the field.
Comfortable to hold
With a width of only 92mm (3.6”)
and a weight of only 560 grams
(20 oz) the PSA fits comfortably into
the hand.
Touch-screen or
hard-key control
The instrument is normally operated
using its touch screen.
The three-row hierarchical menu
system provides rapid intuitive
access to all functions .
Additional hard keys are provided
for marker movement and for
shortcuts to major functions.
Alternatively, all of the functions
can be operated with just the hard
keys by using the five way navigator
in a tab-enter-jog mode.
Instant On
On pressing the power button, the
instrument comes to life almost
instantly, with the first sweep
available within just a few seconds.
Actual size*
Transfer files to PC
A USB host connector enables USB Flash drives to be
connected for additional storage or for cable-less file
transfers.
A USB device connector is also provided which
enables direct connection to a PC for bi-directional
file transfer.
* when printed without scaling
The PSA Series 5 can be used vertically, as well
as horizontally or on its tilt stand.
The PSA Series 5 will find plenty of ap-
plications on the bench as well as in the
field.
It’s low cost enables every engineer
to have access to a spectrum analyzer
whenever they need one.
For continuous bench-top operation,
the supplied AC line adaptor powers the
instrument as well as charging it.
The rigid tilt stand angles the instrument
at about 40 degrees to the horizontal.
Equally at home on the bench
True portability
A genuinely hand-held instrument
Some manufacturers have stretched the term hand-
held to cover any battery powered instrument with
a ‘flat’ format.
Some of these are more than twice the width of
an average hand, and weigh as much as a brick.
Not so the PSA Series 5.
The small size fits perfectly into the hand and
the low weight of only 560 grms (20 oz)
allows it to be carried anywhere.
Instant availability
Unlike some other spectrum analyzers
which can take up to a minute to
initialise, the PSA Series 5 starts
instantly, with the first sweep
available within a few seconds of
switching on.
Typical ‘hand-held’ spectrum
analyzer 26 cm x 17 cm,
weight >2kg
PSA Series 5 : 19 cm x 9.2 cm,
weight < 0.6kg
Around one third of the size
and one quarter of the weight !
Screen Protector and Sun Shield
When on the move and operating out of doors, the tilt stand can be un-
clipped from the back of the instrument and attached at the front.
This protects the screen during transport, and can act as a sun shield when
viewing conditions are difficult.
When no longer required it can be re-attached to the rear where it stows
out of the way until needed.
Live, View and Reference traces
A view trace and reference trace can be displayed in addition to the live
trace using contrasting colours for clarity.
Any number of traces can
be saved to memory and
rapidly recalled to the
screen.
Trace states are saved in
addition to the traces and
can be recalled separately.
Smart marker movement
Dual markers provide an on-screen readout of frequency and level
including difference values.
The markers can be set to
specified frequency values,
scrolled across the screen,
or set to automatically find
peaks.
A peak tracking mode is
also provided which will
track the highest peak in
the sweep despite changing
frequency.
Marker amplitude readout
can be in graticule units
(dBm or dBµV) or in linear
units (mV or µW).
Frequency counter
A marker position frequency
counter is incorporated for
accurate measurement of
signal frequencies.
The counter can be applied
to either marker
Resolution is adjustable
down to 10Hz.
Fully variable RBW and VBW
Resolution bandwidth is manually variable between 300Hz and 10MHz in
a 1:3:10 sequence. Alternatively Auto RBW can be selected to match the
RBW to the span.
Video bandwidth is also variable over the same range, or can be set to
track to the RBW with a useable selectable offset if required.
Vertical expansion
The vertical resolution of 10dB per division can be expanded to 5dB, 2dB
or 1dB with panning over the full dynamic range.
Intuitive menu system
Ease of use was a major consideration in the design of the PSA Series 5.
The menu system provides
rapid access to five menu
groups, each of which has
up to five sub menus, each
with their own function
keys.
Function keys perform direct actions or create pop-up menus or dialogue
boxes. Frequencies can be set by direct numeric entry, or by a digit
increment system.
Centre, Start and Stop
can be stepped by any
chosen increment. Span
can be zoomed in a 1-2-5
sequence.
Single key shortcuts include
Set to Peak, Set to Marker
and Set between Markers (Start=M1, Stop=M2).
Frequency presets enable fast changes between frequently used sweep
ranges.
Full status display
In addition to the
extensive on-screen status
information, a single button
press reveals the complete
set-up of the instrument as
a screen listing.
Context sensitive Help
Context based Help is
instantly available for each
menu function from the
Status/Help hard key.
Alternatively help for any
function can be selected
from a topics list.
Packed with features
Trace write modes
In addition to the normal mode, the trace
can be set to display Peak-hold, or a Multi-
sweep Average.
When in Peak-hold or
Average modes, dual
display traces can be
selected enabling the
processed and unprocessed
traces to be seen
simultaneously.
The screen illustration
shows the Peak Hold trace
in yellow along with the current sweep in green.
Zero span audio demodulation
The PSA Series 5 includes a zero span mode with both AM or FM audio
demodulation.
The audio signal, with
variable volume and
selectable low-pass filter, is
available from the built-
in loudspeaker or from
a standard 3.5mm jack
socket.
With Option U02 installed, waveform demodulation can also be selected.
Extensive data storage
The PSA Series 5 can store almost unlimited amounts of data using its
1.8GB of internal memory supplemented, if necessary, by USB Flash
drives.
The filing system can store trace and state files, screen images, set-up
files, logging files*, limit patterns* and compensation tables*.
Files are stored under either
default file names, or user-
chosen file names entered
from an alpha-numeric
keypad.
Files are time-stamped from
the real-time clock, and can
be listed by date or name.
The illustration is a truncated version of the real screen image which can list 20 files
simultaneously. Each directory can contain up to 999 files..
*Logging files, limit patterns and compensation tables are only available
with Option U02 - see next page.
PSA-Manager Software
PSA Manager is a Windows* based program that provides additional
capabilities for the PSA Series 5. It is available free of charge.
It can display trace files, and can be used to back up and manage set-up
files and other parameters.
However, its more sophisticated capabilities are apparent when Option
U02 is installed within the instrument (see next page).
It can then be used to create limit patterns, channel markers and
compensation table files, using numeric editing, import from .csv files, or
via its graphical editor.
Log files created within the instrument can be viewed and analyzed.
*
Windows is a trademark of Microsoft inc. PSA-Manager is compatible with
versions from XP to Windows 8 including 32 and 64 bit versions.

Input
Data export and transfer
USB device and host connectors are provided enabling
the PSA Series 5 to be linked directly to a PC for file
transfer, and for the connection of USB Flash drives
for data transfer or storage.
Trace files have a standard comma separated value
(.csv) format which can be imported into other
applications such as Excel or MathCad.
Screen images are stored as standard bit-maps that
can be manipulated and printed using a PC as well as
being recalled to the PSA screen.
Further features with option U02
Option U02 is a firmware upgrade that increases the capabilities of the
PSA3605 or PSA6005 to include the following features (marked with *).
Triggered sweep*
The standard sweep modes of continuous repeat and single shot can be
extended to include triggered sweeps from an external signal or internal
limits comparison.
Limit patterns and limits comparator*
Limit lines and patterns can
be defined which can be
simply visual aids or create
automatic actions. Zone
restriction can be applied.
A single or dual line limits
comparator can be used to
generate audible warnings,
output signals, or to freeze
or log the trace.
Channel Markers *
Channel Marker List files are a special type of limit pattern file that
contain only vertical lines. They can be particularly useful for showing
channel position frequencies.
PSA-Manager provides
an editor that enables
them to be created by
simply entering a list of
frequencies. Each file can
contain up to 50 marker
lines.
Offsets and Compensation Tables*
The reference level, graticule and marker readouts can be set to
compensate for external attenuation or gain to a resolution of 0.1dB.
Compensation can also
be added for signals
emanating from a 75W
source.
Tables can be loaded that
compensate for variations
of level with frequency for
specific antennae or transducers. The tables can contain up to 100 points
and are linearly interpolated between points.
Custom Presets *
Custom Presets is an extended version of the User Preset from which
multiple presets can be saved or recalled by entering just a number.
Applications for which Custom Presets might be used include frequency
selection via channel numbers, or repetitive steps within a test
environment.
Data Logging*
The PSA Series 5 can log results in response to a variety of stimuli. Data
is stored as files that can be transferred to a PC for analysis using PSA-
Manager software.
The data stored can be the
peak level, centre frequency
level, the whole trace, or
a bitmap screen image.
Each file can contain up to
25,000 entries.
The 1.8GB of internal memory enables vast amounts of data to be stored.
Logging entries can be created by an internal timer (adjustable from
seconds up to hours), the manual trigger key, the external trigger input,
or the limits comparator.
Automatic Measurements*
Automatic measurements
of Channel Power (CP),
Adjacent Channel Power
Ratio (ACR) and Occupied
Bandwidth (OBW) can be
performed.
Measurements can be
performed continuously or
in single-shot mode.
Waveform Demodulation*
In addition to audio
demodulation of AM or FM
signals, the modulating
waveform can be displayed
against a timebase settable
between 5us/div and
20ms/div.
Markers can be used to
measures modulating
frequencies and depth or
deviation.
View on PC*
View on PC enables the screen of the spectrum analyzer to be sent to a
PC by USB. The screen image can be set to a user definable size and is
particularly useful for education and training purposes.
