SPECTRAN V6 ECO 200XA-6

Product information "SPECTRAN V6 ECO 200XA-6"

9 kHz – 6 GHz | 16-bit USB Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer & Signal Generator

Aaronia’s latest high-performance, low-cost real-time spectrum analyzer, the SPECTRAN® V6 ECO, is equipped with a real-time bandwidth of 2 × 44 MHz at 16-bit resolution.

The compact aluminum housing, measuring only 210 × 115 × 30 mm (850 g), takes up minimal space in the lab and, thanks to its low power consumption, is also ideal for mobile applications (e.g. laptops). It is available as a Spectrum Analyzer RX, Dual RX, or RX + TX version.


The Fastest

The V6 ECO performs a full 6 GHz scan in under 2 ms, which corresponds to a sweep speed of 3 THz/s (optional). Measurement data is transmitted via a USB 3.x interface as I/Q raw data or FFT data.

If the connected computer supports USB-PD functionality, the included power supply is not required — a single USB connection cable is sufficient.


Modular RTSA-Suite PRO Software

The included modular RTSA-Suite PRO software already features, in its base version:

  • Over 20 measurement units
  • 5 detectors (including AVG and QPEAK)
  • Interfaces to popular programs such as MATLAB®, GNU Radio, and SDRangel
