The devices of the Aaronia SPECTRAN V6 PLUS series are real-time high-performance spectrum analyzers with an integrated signal generator that capture even the shortest signal transmissions. The analyzers scan 6 GHz in less than 5 ms. The devices are ideal for RF tasks such as spectrum monitoring, RF and microwave measurements, interference hunting, EMC tests, or Wi-Fi and radio network measurements. With a weight of only 850 g, the SPECTRAN V6 PLUS devices are ideally suited for measurements in the field as well as in the laboratory. The RTSA-Suite PRO PC analysis software supplied transforms the SPECTRAN V6 PLUS modules into full benchtop spectrum analyzers.
