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
(see SPECTRAN® screenshots on the right). 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.
NOTE:
The very common low cost BROADBAND MEASUREMENT DEVICES
(especially common among novice users) do not give you too
valuable information at all. You do receive a measurement
result (for example, 500nT), but what is the frequency ? Of
how many radiation sources is this result composed? What
causes the radiation ? Are there multiple sources ? Is the
reading maybe even composed of several signal sources ?
What is the corresponding exposure limit for this reading ?
What IS the exposure limit if a mixture of several
frequencies is present ? Questions and yet more questions
WITHOUT an answer. In contrast, using a SPECTRUM ANALYSER,
you will ALSO consider the frequency of the signal sources,
as the frequency is JUST as important as the signal
strength itself. ONLY using the frequency information, a
radiation source can be isolated reliably, and ONLY using
the frequency, calculation of frequency-dependant exposure
limits can be accomplished.
Due to the MISSING frequency reference with low cost
broadband units, DRAMATIC misinterpretations can arise:
when exposure limits are calculated, these can be wrong by
MORE than a factor of 1000!! (this is NOT an error, we do
really mean ONE THOUSAND).

HUGE
digital LC display
Pure luxury:
The huge, high resolution digital LC display with more than
80x60 mm in size! It has been developed especially for
SPECTRAN® by Aaronia. Needless to say, it uses FSTN
quality for crystal clear display. It covers a vast amount
of display capabilities (listed from top to bottom):
- Big graphics display (pixel display) with 51x25
pixels (can be used for complex spectrum and exposure
limit display, convenient menu navigation, etc.)
- HUGE numeric display (4 digits, max. 9999)
- Large, high-resolution bargraph (50 segments) for
very responsive trend display
- Various function and mode indication display blocks
(AUDIO, MODE, MEMORY etc.)
- Large multi-function text display (6 text fields /
e.g. for displaying units, service information,
etc.)
- Three further big numeric displays (4 digits each,
each max. 9999 / e.g. for simultaneous display of MIN,
MAX, AVG values, 3 marker values, etc.)
- Triple multi-function text displays (Next to each of
the previously described numeric displays / 3x3 text
fields each / used e.g. for unit display for markers,
etc.)
- Three more multi-function text displays (directly
beneith the previously described displays / 3x6 text
fields each / e.g. ADDITIONAL values AND unit display for
markers, etc.)
- Battery status and charging display (incl. "CHARGING"
and "LOW")
- 6 numerical displays for flexible bargraph scaling
(incl. multiplication factor and percentage
display)
Thanks to the vast amount of flexible display options,
this device can display various readings, a bargraph AND a
spectral display (starting from NF-1010E resp. HF-2025E)
SIMULTANEOUSLY, without bothersome switching back and
forth.
Lots
of power: The rechargable
Aaronia NiMH and LiPo Power-Battery
Superlong operating time:
Starting with the SPECTRAN® NF-1010E or SPECTRAN®
HF-2025E, respectively, the rechargable Aaronia NiMH battery
is supplied as standard. It has been developed specifically
for the SPECTRAN® devices and is optimally suited for
their requirements. Thanks to NiMH technology, the dreaded
"Memory effect" is now a thing of the past, as with this
power battery, maximum quality and long life have been our
primary goals. Another reason why such a battery technology
is necessary is the high power demand of the high-performance
DSP used in all SPECTRAN® units, especially in the RF
versions, which furthermore include very demanding RF
receiving circuitry. Still, it is astounding that even when
using the standard version of the Aaronia battery (1300mAh),
continuous operation of the SPECTRAN® for approx. 3
hours is possible. The special Lithium Polymer version with
3000mAh (available at an extra charge) bumps this up to a
stunning 6,5 hours! This is certainly a new all-time record
for portable, battery-supplied spectrum analysers, or do you
know a portable spectrum analyser which even remotely
provides 6,5 hours of continuous operation with a single
battery charge ?
Naturally, the necessary battery charger is also included. At
the same time, it can be used for operating the
SPECTRAN® units with mains power. The battery charger is
integrated into all SPECTRAN® units, thus SPECTRAN®
models NF-1010 and HF-2025 can also subsequently be extended
with an Aaronia LiPo battery (STRONGLY
recommended!).
