The V6 ECO 100XA-6 from Aaronia AG is a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) and Monitoring Receiver that operates from 9 kHz to 6/8 GHz. It is ideal for real-time analysis of spectrum content over a broad frequency range. This RTSA consists of a single receiver unit, an I/Q vector signal generator, an FPGA, a pre-amplifier, a 16-bit ADC, and a DAC. It can capture even the shortest signal transmissions and supports unlimited, continuous I/Q streaming over a real-time bandwidth of 44 MHz. This monitoring receiver can measure up to 960 million FFT points/s and has a sweep speed of 500 GHz/s. It has a DANL of -170 dBm/Hz (with internal pre-amplifier under ON condition).
The V6 ECO 100XA-6 also supports an ultra-low noise pre-amplifier as an option that provides a gain of 20 dB to further improve measurement accuracy. This spectrum analyzer uses Aaronia’s RTSA-Suite Pro, a powerful and flexible tool with an intuitive user interface, enabling users to identify, capture, demodulate, and track any signal. It also offers several graphical plots for analysis, such as, 2D/3D spectrum analysis, 2D/3D I/Q streaming and decoding, multi-unit stitching, and multi-frequency monitoring. This RTSA can be powered via a USB interface and consumes 10 W of power. It is available as an enclosure that measures 210 x 115 x 30 mm and has SMA connectors. This analyzer is ideal for interference hunting, EMC testing, and spectrum monitoring applications.
