Description
The SPECTRAN V6 X is Aaronia’s latest generation of high-performance real-time spectrum analyzers. With a sweep speed of over 1THz/s it sets new standards in the USB compact class. Any number of devices can be cascaded to achieve an even higher real-time bandwidth. Thus, by using only four SPECTRAN V6 RSA 2000X, a real-time bandwidth of 1GHz is already achieved! The included software RTSA-Suite PRO is precisely tailored to the powerful and robust hardware and supports the use of multiple SPECTRAN V6 X. The stackable aluminum housing facilitates the parallel use of several units. RSA 2000X RF connectors: 2xRx, 1xTx 50 Ohm SMA each Scope of delivery: SPECTRAN V6-2000X, power supply, 774-AC5 (data cable black | 1m | 1 screw), 774-AC1 (boost cable black | 1m | 1 screw), 774-CC11 (power cable red | 2m | 1 screw), USB stick with manual and software, cleaning brush HINT: There are export restrictions for spectrum analyzers from 160MHz real-time bandwidth.
