SPECTRAN V6 ECO

SPECTRAN V6 ECO block: Main settings for the SPECTRAN V6 ECO device.

The SPECTRAN V6 ECO offers up to two Rx inputs (SMA female) with a real-time bandwidth of up to 44MHz each and a Tx (IQ Vector Signal Generator, SMA female) with 44MHz RTBW. It can stream the full IQ bandwidth via USB. An optional integrated GPS receiver offers a high precision time stamp and location information. The integrated ultra low noise preamplifier (option) improves the DANL to -170dBm/Hz or even lower. The optional power meter offers real-time power reading over the full frequency range.

The SPECTRAN V6 ECO block includes a vast amount of settings offering full device control no matter what. An extensive statistics display provides a full picture over all important data IOs at a glance. The SPECTRAN V6 ECO block supports multiple unit stitching/cascading enabling an even higher real-time bandwidth e.g. 4 SPECTRAN V6 ECO units reach over 160MHz RTBW.

The Transmitter Mode includes the new mode "Pattern Generator" which can hold a limited fixed pattern size of 8192 samples within the SPECTRAN V6 ECO onboard memory without the need of an USB stream. Make sure to stay within this memory size if using this mode e.g. the effective sweep time is 8192 / samplerate (e.g. 88µs for 92MHz).
