AAronia HF 4060 - RF Analyzer System (100MHz - 6GHz)

RF Measurement in this price range has never been this professional. Find radiation sources in your surroundings. Find their respective frequencies and signal strengths, including direct display of exposure limits. This used to be impossible in this price category, professional units often costing several thousand euros and being excessively complicated in handling.

The highly complex calculations in spectrum analysis incl. exposure limit calculation is being performed, unnoticed in the background, by a highperformance DSP (digital signal processor). This ultra-fast processor even allows REAL-TIME display in all EMF (LF) versions of the SPECTRAN series.

The perfect analysis

Professional RF measurement devices use a frequency dependant measurement approach, the so-called spectrum analysis. In a certain frequency range, the individuals signals and their respective strengths are being broken down, for example into a "bargraph" display. The height of the individual bars represents the corresponding signal strength. For the 3 strongest signal sources, SPECTRAN® automatically displays the exact frequency and signal level, thanks to its "Auto Marker" feature. Of course, you can also setup the filter width and the frequency range to be analysed as you like.

In the RF spectrum shown, a frequency range of approx. 100MHz to 7GHz from left to right is being analysed (full sweep). During analysis, the Auto Marker feature has determined - fully automatic - three main signal sources:
Signal#1=942MHz (GSM communications) at -63dBm
Signal#2=2024MHz (UMTS) at -23dBm
Signal#3=5832MHz (802.11a WLan) at -42dBm

Thanks to its DIRECT frequency display of the individual signal sources, a doubtless mapping of measurement results to the corresponding radiation sources is possible.

Long-term Measurement

SPECTRAN® measurement devices with data logger allow long-term recordings of measurement results over a freely adjustable period of time. This is particularly indispensable for seriuos evaluation of exposure by appliances and machinery which have a changing power consumption or radiation strength over time. Examples for these include railroads, power lines and plants, but also home appliances and their respective power cables, and various high-frequency transmission facilities like mobile phone transmission towers, mobile phones, radar etc. Depending on the time of day, considerable variation of exposure can occur (see graphics on the right). Without long-term recordings, massive misinterpretation of total exposure can occur.With long-term data logging using SPECTRAN®, the daily variation of exposure can be recorded and analysed. Thus, the actual total exposure can be evaluated precisely.
 

With this functionality, you can even discover sporadic EMC problems which would otherwise be very hard to detect. Even though SPECTRAN® units "only" last 2 to 3 (depending on model) hours with one battery charge, the intelligent "Powerdown mode" enables much longer data logging and measurement timespans. Finally, if this is not enough, the external power supply can be used to extend the recording timespan infinitely.
