From the original observed data of RXTE (Rossi X-ray timing explorer), the data of 3C 273 in the X-ray band of 2-10 keV from February 2, 1996 (MJD 50115) to August 27, 2007 (MJD 54339) are analyzed. The photon spectral indexes and corresponding fluxes of the observational data from 1010 observations are obtained in total. The average time of each observation is 1666.76 seconds. By analyzing the spectral variation and behavior of the light variation of 3C 273 in the hard X-ray band of 2-10 keV during observational periods, it is found that there was a significant anti-correlation between the photon spectral index Γ and flux lgF2˜10 keV in February 2000, March and April 2003, February, March and July 2004, as well as 2006 and 2007. During the observational periods in 1999 and from 2000 to 2007, there was also a significant anti-correlation between the monthly average behaviors of Γ and lgF2˜10 keV. From the quantitative analysis of the behavior of light variation in the entire observational period, several relatively large light variations are found. The evidence of the existence of the Fe emission line with average width of 93.85±21.49 eV is also found by fitting a part of the spectra. Through analyzing the intensity of the light variation and features of Fe emission line, it is found that 3C 273 has some characteristics of blazars and Seyfert galaxies simultaneously.
