New standards for measurements in the microwave range

The new SPECTRAN V6 XPR series from Aaronia AG attracted particular interest at the recent EuMW 2024 show. Equipped with waveguide connections, the performance amazed the audience.

The series sets a new benchmark with measurements up to 140GHz and still provides the advantages of low-cost USB devices. With a real-time bandwidth of up to 490MHz and a sweep speed of 3THz/s, the real-time spectrum analyser is the new reference in terms of speed. Equipped with waveguide connections, it allows measurements in the millimetre wave range that are impossible with conventional cables.

The company's new analyser series opens new possibilities, particularly in the automotive sector. With the SPECTRAN V6 real-time spectrum analysers with waveguide technology, the high-frequency and rapidly changing electromagnetic waves from radar distance sensors can be reliably analysed and evaluated. The device, for example, offers 10dB NF at 77GHz. This makes it the perfect choice for radar measurements of this type (76GHz to 81GHz). Also, these new devices represent an attractively priced solution. The waveguide connection permits users to connect their own amplifier and splitter systems to the real-time spectrum analysers from the company, with the waveguides that will be available in the future.

For Thorsten Chmielus, managing director of Aaronia AG, EuMW 2024 was a complete success. "The exceptionally good response from trade visitors to our new Waveguide series shows that we are on the right track. We will be expanding the product range in the coming months. In order to be able to respond as flexibly as possible to the requirements of engineers and measurement technicians, the real-time spectrum analysers with Waveguide technology will also be individually configurable in addition to the standard equipment."
