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.

Questions and Answers
-
Can This Antenna Be Used for Both Emissions and Immunity Testing?
Mainly for emissions. The HyperLOG 6000 series is designed for EMC emissions measurements with spectrum analysers. The 6080, 60100 and 60180 are rated for 100W CW (at 400 MHz), which allows low-power immunity tests; the 60250 and 60350 are rated for 50W CW. For high-power immunity testing, consider Aaronia's PowerLOG horn antennas.
-
What Accessories Are Included in the Standard Package?
The standard package includes:
- calibration data
- aluminium carrying case with custom foam inserts
- detachable pistol-grip handle with mini-tripod function
- SMA tool set with over-torque protection
An SMA-to-N adapter and full-size tripods are available separately.
-
How Does the Antenna Compare to Rohde & Schwarz Alternatives?
The R&S HL562E ULTRALOG covers 30MHz to 8GHz. The HyperLOG 6000 series starts higher, at 680MHz, but the top models reach 25GHz or 35GHz. Choose by the frequency range you need to measure.
-
What Is the Recommended Cable Length for Accurate Measurements?
Keep the cable as short and low-loss as practical. Aaronia offers its own low-loss cables, including a 10 metre version. Use 50-ohm coaxial cable and include the cable loss in your field-strength calculation alongside the antenna factors.
-
Is the Antenna Suitable for Outdoor Use and Mobile Measurements?
Yes. The radome is splash-water proof and suitable for outdoor installation, and at 250g with a 1/4" tripod socket the antenna suits mobile RF surveys, site investigations and field measurements.
-
What Frequency Ranges Are Available in the HyperLOG 6000 Series?
There are five models:
- 6080: 680MHz-8GHz
- 60100: 680MHz-10GHz
- 60180: 680MHz-18GHz
- 60250: 680MHz-25GHz
- 60350: 680MHz-35GHz
All share the same compact 340×200×25mm form factor and weigh 250g.
-
How Does This Antenna Compare to Separate Biconical and Horn Antennas?
One HyperLOG antenna covers the whole frequency range of the model, so you don't have to switch antennas part way through a sweep. Aaronia quotes a typical gain of 5dBi; the antenna factor varies with frequency and is corrected with the supplied calibration data.
-
What Calibration Data Is Provided with Each Antenna?
Each antenna comes with typical calibration data (antenna factors). Points are at 10MHz intervals on the 6080 to 60180, with 1,733 points on the 60180, and at 50MHz intervals on the 60250 and 60350. As an option, the data can be stored on an IC in the antenna and read back.
-
Is This Antenna Suitable for EMC Pre-Compliance Testing?
Yes. Aaronia lists the HyperLOG 6000 series as suitable for measurements to CISPR, EN 55011 and MIL-STD-461, and supplies typical calibration data. For results that must stand up in a compliance report, use an accredited test lab.
-
What Connector Type Is Used, and Are Adapters Included?
All five models use an SMA female connector, including the 25GHz and 35GHz 60250 and 60350. An SMA-to-N adapter is available separately. Please contact us for adapters and cable assemblies.
