Key Features
Overview
The HyperLOG 6000 Series delivers exceptional RF measurement capabilities in a compact, portable design. These German-engineered antennas feature gold-plated elements on a high-tech TEFLON substrate, ensuring stable performance across decades of frequency coverage. The series spans five models from the compact 6080 (680MHz-8GHz) to the ultra-wideband 60350 (680MHz-35GHz).
Each antenna undergoes rigorous factory calibration and includes a protective radome, precision SMA connector, and comprehensive accessories in an aluminium carrying case. The directional radiation pattern with excellent front-to-back ratio makes these antennas ideal for spectrum analyser applications, EMI troubleshooting, and pre-compliance testing.

Ultra-Wideband Log Periodic Antenna for Spectrum Analysis
The Aaronia HyperLOG 6000 Series represents the pinnacle of log periodic antenna technology, offering exceptional performance across an ultra-wide frequency range from 680MHz to 35GHz. Built on an ultra-thin, gold-coated high-tech TEFLON substrate, these antennas deliver unmatched precision for EMC testing, spectrum analysis, and RF signal detection.
Technical Architecture
Log periodic dipole arrays (LPDA) operate on the principle of frequency-dependent resonance. Each dipole element resonates at specific frequencies, with element lengths and spacing following a logarithmic relationship. The design ratio τ (tau) determines the geometric scaling between adjacent elements, typically 0.7 for optimal bandwidth performance.
Model Variants Available
| Model | Frequency Range | Gain (typ.) | Antenna Factor | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HyperLOG 6080 | 680MHz - 8GHz | 5 dBi | 22-44 dB/m | 250g |
| HyperLOG 60100 | 680MHz - 10GHz | 5 dBi | 22-46 dB/m | 250g |
| HyperLOG 60180 | 680MHz - 18GHz | 5 dBi | 22-50 dB/m | 250g |
Connection and Setup
The antenna features a precision SMA female connector (18GHz rated) with over-torque protection. For applications requiring N-type connections, adapters are included. The integrated 1/4" tripod mount enables flexible positioning using the included pistol-grip handle with mini-tripod function.
Calibration and Accuracy
Each antenna includes comprehensive calibration data with up to 1,733 calibration points at 10MHz steps (model dependent). This extensive calibration enables precise field strength measurements and ensures compliance with CISPR 16-1, MIL-STD-461, and EN 55011/55022 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
Is the antenna suitable for outdoor use and mobile measurements?
Yes, the splash-proof radome and robust construction enable outdoor operation. The lightweight design (250g) and integrated tripod mount make it ideal for mobile RF surveys, site investigations, and field measurements. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.
-
What is the recommended cable length for accurate measurements?
Use high-quality 50-ohm coaxial cable such as RG-214/U or better. Cable lengths up to 10 metres are acceptable for most applications. Include cable loss in your measurement calculations using the provided calibration data. Low-loss alternatives like LMR-400 are recommended for longer runs.
-
How does the antenna perform compared to Rohde & Schwarz alternatives?
The HyperLOG 6000 series offers comparable technical performance to R&S HL562E at significantly lower cost. Both provide CISPR-compliant measurements, but the HyperLOG extends to higher frequencies (35GHz vs 6GHz) and includes more comprehensive accessories.
-
What accessories are included in the standard package?
Each antenna includes calibration data, aluminium carrying case with custom foam inserts, detachable pistol-grip handle with mini-tripod function, precision SMA tool set, and N-type adapters. Optional full-size tripods are available separately.
-
Can this antenna be used for both emissions and immunity testing?
Can this antenna be used for both emissions and immunity testing?The antenna is primarily designed for emissions measurements and general RF monitoring. For immunity testing requiring high power levels, consider the PowerLOG series which handles up to 310W. The HyperLOG 6000 series is rated for 100W CW maximum.
-
What connector type is used, and are adapters included?
The antenna features a precision SMA female connector rated to 18GHz with over-torque protection. N-type adapters are included for compatibility with older test equipment. Custom cable assemblies are available from our RF cable collection.
-
Is this antenna suitable for EMC pre-compliance testing?
Yes, the HyperLOG 6000 series meets CISPR 16-1 requirements for EMC testing. The ±0.3dB accuracy and comprehensive calibration enable reliable pre-compliance measurements that correlate well with full compliance test results.
-
What calibration data is provided with each antenna?
Each antenna includes individual calibration certificates with antenna factors measured at 10MHz intervals. The 60180 model provides 1,733 calibration points. Calibration data is supplied on CD and can be stored in the antenna's internal EEPROM for automatic readout.
-
How does this antenna compare to separate biconical and horn antennas?
A single HyperLOG antenna replaces multiple narrowband antennas, eliminating measurement errors from antenna switching. The log periodic design provides consistent gain and impedance across the entire frequency range, unlike biconical antennas which show significant variation.
-
What frequency ranges are available in the HyperLOG 6000 series?
The series offers five models: 6080 (680MHz-8GHz)60100 (680MHz-10GHz)60180 (680MHz-18GHz)60250 (680MHz-25GHz)60350 (680MHz-35GHz).All models share the same compact 340×200×25mm form factor and 250g weight.
