Overview
The OWON VSA-P Series is a compact superheterodyne digital IF-based receiver and spectrum analyzer module integrating USB 2.0 and LAN interfaces with high-speed FPGA signal processing. It provides spectrum data, power detection waveforms, and modulated signal analysis for spectrum monitoring, RF testing, and receiver applications. The series supports standard SCPI commands and companion software for system integration. Depending on the model and options, the module supports spectrum analysis from 9kHz to 8GHz, optional tracking generation, and an optional built-in bridge on the VSA1036P for S11/S21 vector network analysis.
