Arinst SSA-TG R3 portable spectrum analyzer with tracking generator
Manual. Passport products.
1. Purpose
Arinst SSA-TG R3 is a portable panoramic spectrum analyzer with a built-in tracking generator and demodulator de-
signed to display the spectral components of signals in the frequency range from 24 MHz to 12 GHz. High scanning
speed makes it possible to detect impulse signals of digital communication standards: Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, CDMA,
DCS, GSM, GPRS, GLONASS, etc. The built-in tracking generator allows you to measure the frequency response of
passive or active devices, such as filters, amplifiers. Software demodulator of WFM/FM/AM signals is intended for
listening to the air and tuning analog radio transmitters. Setting the regional coverage frequencies of cellular operators
allows you to match the displayed signal with the corresponding operator. For convenience, the built-in software of the
device allows you to sign and highlight frequency ranges on the screen. For example, sign the names of radio stations,
Wi-Fi channels or frequency bands of mobile operators.

1. In the display range, the accuracy of the parameters is not guaranteed.
2. The level of the noise floor is measured with the LNA turned on and the spectral resolution is 2.5 kHz.
3. Measurements are carried out in the "Speed" operating mode and a spectral resolution of 25 kHz.
5. Enabling the Analyzer
Do not switch the RF input jack while connected to a charger or USB connection to a PC. If these recommen-
dations are not followed, the analyzer may fail.
Do not use the appliance outdoors during snowfall or rain. If the analyzer is brought in during the cold season
from a cold room or from the street into a warm room, do not turn it on for a time sufficient for the condensate to
evaporate. Match the signal strength and voltage supplied to the RF IN input connector with the maximum speci-
fications shown in the table.
5.1. Make sure the analyzer has no external damage and the battery is charged. Charge the discharged battery. When
the charger is connected, the maximum charging current is automatically determined. To reduce the battery charging
time, it is recommended to use industrial power supplies (chargers) with a maximum output current of 3 A as a charger.
When charging is completed, the CHARGE indicator will turn off.
It is allowed to operate the device while the battery is charging, provided that the power supply is capable of provid-
ing an output current of at least 1500 mA. If the charger or USB port of the PC is not able to provide the current required
to operate the device and charge the battery, the device will automatically reduce the current consumed until the battery
stops charging completely. You can also use an external power supply.
5.2. Press and hold button (6) for 2 seconds. The analyzer will turn on. Set the required frequency range, connect a
signal source to the input. User settings will be saved in the device memory and will be set automatically upon subse-
quent power-ups.
5.3. To turn off the device, press and hold the button (6) for 2 seconds. The instrument screen will turn off and the in-
strument will turn off. Each time the device is turned off, the main user settings are written to non-volatile memory,
which allows you to avoid setting the device when you turn it on again.
