SPECTRAN is Aaronia AG's family of real-time spectrum analysers, controlled by the RTSA-Suite PRO software on a Windows or Linux PC. Paired with Aaronia's HyperLOG, OmniLOG and BicoLOG antennas and near-field probes, a SPECTRAN lets an engineer capture a continuous, gapless block of spectrum, find short or intermittent emissions, and locate EMC problems on the bench or in the field. Our Aaronia spectrum analysers collection lists the analysers on their own.
A SPECTRAN measurement chain has three parts: an antenna or near-field probe picks up the signal, the SPECTRAN digitises it, and RTSA-Suite PRO displays, records and analyses it on the PC. The analyser connects to the PC over USB (SPECTRAN V6 ECO models use a single USB 3 Type-C connection that also powers the unit). The SPECTRAN V6 MOBILE instead has the PC built in, with a 15.6 inch touchscreen.
A real-time spectrum analyser captures a continuous block of spectrum without gaps, while a conventional swept analyser looks at one narrow band at a time. The block width is the real-time bandwidth (RTBW): signals inside it are captured continuously, so short pulses, bursts and intermittent interference are recorded rather than missed between sweep steps. Sweep speed describes how quickly a SPECTRAN steps those blocks across a wider range when you need more than one block of spectrum.
The SPECTRAN V6 range covers entry-level ECO analysers, PLUS analysers with wider real-time bandwidth, and a portable MOBILE model. Values below are from Aaronia's published specifications; where sources differ we point you to the product page.
| Model | Frequency range | Real-time bandwidth | Sweep speed | Inputs |

The SPECTRAN V6 CommandCenter series (10 MHz to 8 GHz) and the SPECTRAN V4-C handheld analyser (9 kHz to 6 GHz) are also listed in this catalogue; see their product pages for full specifications.
Aaronia antennas connect directly to a SPECTRAN and are chosen by frequency range and use: directional log-periodic antennas for emission measurements, omnidirectional antennas for site surveys, and near-field probes for locating interference sources on a board.
| Product | Type | Frequency range | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| HyperLOG 7000 series | Directional log-periodic | 700 MHz to 6 GHz (HyperLOG 7060: 5 dBi gain, SMA female) | Compact directional measurements |
| HyperLOG 4000 series | Directional log-periodic | 400 MHz to 6 GHz | EMC emission testing |
| HyperLOG 3000 series | Directional log-periodic | 380 MHz to 35 GHz across the series | Wideband directional measurements |
| HyperLOG 6000 series | Directional log-periodic | From 680 MHz; see product page | Wideband directional measurements |
| OmniLOG PRO | Omnidirectional, vertical linear polarisation | 150 MHz to 18 GHz across the series (usable from 80 MHz) | Omnidirectional measurements and site surveys |
| BicoLOG 20100E | Biconical, EMC version | 20 MHz to 1 GHz | Low-frequency EMC measurements |
| PBS1 near-field probe set | 5 probes: 4 magnetic field, 1 electric field | See product page | Pinpointing interference sources |
The OmniLOG PRO N and OmniLOG PRO N-H variants use N connectors. The catalogue also lists the PowerLOG PRO 30X00 EMI antenna and the IsoLOG 3D Mobile PRO.
RTSA-Suite PRO is Aaronia's spectrum analysis software for SPECTRAN V6, running on Windows and Linux. The basic version is included with the analyser, and further blocks can be added when an application needs them.
Real-time bandwidth is the width of spectrum a SPECTRAN captures continuously without gaps, for example 44 MHz on the SPECTRAN V6 ECO 100XA-6 or 160 MHz on the SPECTRAN V6 PLUS 2000XA-6. Sweep speed is how fast the analyser steps across a wider frequency range.
Choose by frequency range and real-time bandwidth. The ECO models start at 9 kHz and reach 6 GHz or 18 GHz, the PLUS models offer 80 to 160 MHz of real-time bandwidth from 10 MHz to 6 GHz, and the SPECTRAN V6 MOBILE has a built-in PC for field use.
Yes. The basic version of RTSA-Suite PRO is included with SPECTRAN V6 analysers, and additional blocks can be purchased, trialled for 30 days or rented.
For radiated emissions, a log-periodic antenna such as the HyperLOG 4000 series (400 MHz to 6 GHz) or the BicoLOG 20100E (20 MHz to 1 GHz) fits the frequency range. To find where on a board an emission originates, use the PBS1 near-field probe set.
Windows and Linux, with macOS reported as in development by Aaronia.
