The Aaronia SPECTRAN V6 XPR 100XA-WR15 is a USB real-time spectrum analyser for millimetre-wave work, covering 50 GHz to 75 GHz through a WR15 waveguide input, with 60 MHz real-time bandwidth, a sweep speed of 3 THz/s and DANL of -170 dBm/Hz. Aaronia positions the V6 XPR range as a compact, lower-cost platform for developing and validating millimetre-wave systems, from radio relay links to radar.
50 GHz to 75 GHz on a WR15 Waveguide Input
The SPECTRAN V6 XPR 100XA-WR15 takes its signal through a WR15 waveguide input. Aaronia lists coverage of the U band and V band satellite bands. The receive path offers 60 MHz real-time bandwidth with an I/Q probability of intercept quoted as 30 ns and 20 ns, so short bursts and pulsed signals are captured rather than missed between sweeps.
USB Analyser With RTSA-Suite PRO
The analyser connects to a PC over USB and runs Aaronia's RTSA-Suite PRO software, which Aaronia states turns the V6 XPR into a fully featured benchtop spectrum analyser. Its compact size suits both lab benches and field measurements, such as aligning a millimetre-wave link on a mast, and it weighs 700 g.

Limitations
- Aaronia's product page gives the delivery time for this model as to be announced; ask us for the current status before ordering.
- We have not found a technical datasheet for the V6 XPR in Aaronia's download area, so figures such as input power limit, amplitude accuracy and power requirements are not given here. Ask us before ordering for a specification-critical application.
- The WR15 waveguide input covers 50 GHz to 75 GHz only. For other frequency ranges, ask us which SPECTRAN V6 model covers your band.
- It is a USB analyser and works with RTSA-Suite PRO running on a connected PC.
