The SPECTRAN V6 RSA500X is one of Aaronia's latest generation of high-performance real-time spectrum analyzers. The SPECTRAN V6 RSA500X comes with 300/440GHz/s sweep speed. Any number of devices can be cascaded to achieve an even higher real-time bandwidth. Thus, by using only four SPECTRAN V6 instruments, real-time bandwidth of 480MHz is already achieved!
The included software RTSA-Suite PRO is precisely tailored to the powerful and robust hardware and supports the use of multiple SPECTRAN V6. The stackable aluminium housing facilitates the parallel use of several units.
The SPECTRAN® V6 X is Aaronia's latest generation of high-performance real-time spectrum analyzers. With a sweep speed of over 1 THz/s it sets new standards in the USB compact class. Any number of devices can be cascaded to achieve an even higher real-time bandwidth. Thus, by using only four SPECTRAN® V6 X, a real-time bandwidth of 1 GHz is already achieved!
The included software RTSA-Suite PRO is precisely tailored to the powerful and robust hardware and supports the use of multiple SPECTRAN® V6 X. The stackable aluminum housing facilitates the parallel use of several units.
The SPECTRAN® V6 X is available in three versions: V6-RSA250X, V6-RSA500X and V6-RSA2000X - with a max. instantaneous bandwidth (complex I/Q) of up to 245 MHz (via 2 x USB). The analyser is compatible to all common Aaronia antennae.

Housing
The high-quality black anodized housing is machined from a solid aluminium block. Thus the SPECTRAN® V6 X achieves an optimal shielding and cooling for the internal components. At the same time, the housing construction ensures maximum robustness. The integrated fan is speed- and temperature-controlled and thus generates only minimal noise.
USB
Depending on the version, the SPECTRAN® V6 X has one or two USB 3.0 ports for data transfer. A further USB port can optionally be used as power supply. A 26,800 mAh power pack with the same form factor is available separately and allows operation without the strain on the laptop battery.
