The SPECTRAN V5 Series Specifications and Technical Information

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS

Polyphase Filter Technology

The Aaronia USA Spectran V5 Series offers a new generation of spectrum analyzers, with upgraded filtering processing technology. While most real time analyzers utilize FFT (Fast Fournier Transform) analysis, the V5 series uses a patented method combining two stagger combs (produced by polyphase filter). This is superior to FFT analysis because the polyphase filter covers more than one interval of sample points, based on the number of frequency points. Filter Curves (for example, real Gauss Filter) can be applied without limitation of the slope due to predetermined intervals. Two temporary spatially-staggered filter combs are used, avoiding gaps in the frequency-time domain. This revolutionary technology allows the analyzer to pick up even the smallest signals within your applied frequency range.

Ultra-Fast DDS Sweeping

The V5 Series also offers traditional spectrum analyzer functionality with the μS Ultra-Fast DDS Sweep Mode. These handheld spectrum analyzers are equipped with DDS-synthesizers (in addition to the local oscillator modulation) that offer up to 800 MSPS I/Q, resulting in extremely fast frequency hopping of the LO. This accelerated sweep speed is much faster and more precise than other sweep spectrum analyzers.

Expandable Frequency Range

The Spectran V5 series of handheld real time analyzers offers an expandable frequency range down to as low as 1Hz – internal diversion allows the low frequency input signals to be diverted to a second RF path that is optimized for lower frequency processing. This lower frequency 2nd path is optimized from 1Hz up to 40MHz, with a high performance 16 bit AD converter with 105MSPS. Enhancing the resolution from 14 bit to 16 bit results in dynamic range improvements from 80dBto 100dB. This 2nd path offers all of the real time functionality, controlled by μS DDS sweep. The transition from RF path to low frequency path is seamless, and will go unnoticed by the user other than the improvement in dynamic range.

Real Time Streaming and Data Logging

Unlike other real time spectrum analyzer models, the Spectran V5 Series allows for uninterrupted data logging, with continuous data streaming, gap-free saving, and no limitations on allowed time. This feature opens up for countless applications that were previously unavailable, like recording and replaying signals, and decoding of recorded digital signals (GSM, TETRA).

SPECTRUM ANALYZER TECHNOLOGY

The Spectran V5 Series offers revolutionary technology, making this new line of real time spectrum analyzers truly unparalleled in functionality, with limitless possible applications. The signal processing is performed by field programmable gate array (FPGA), which includes a vector processor for statistical analysis and demodulation. Used in combination with the Dual Core Backfin DSP-CPU and the high resolution color touchscreen display, field analysis on even the smallest or most complex signals is made easy. The signal is sampled by a 14 bit AD converter with a data rate up to 500MSPS (250MSPS I/Q), resulting in a dynamic range of 80dB. An optional 16 bit AD converter (with 100dB dynamic range) is available as well.

OPTIONS, UPGRADES, and ACCESSORIES

20dB Internal Low Noise Pre-Amplifier LNA (Option 020): Provides an internal super-low-noise 20dB preamplifier for measuring very weak signals. This is controlled via true RF switch. INCLUDED IN USA MODELS.

5ppb (0.005 ppm) OCXO Timebase (Option 002): Extremely precise OCXO timebase offers significant noise / jitter reduction, and allows the use of narrower filters to increase sensitivity and more precise measurement capabilities.
