SPECTRAN V6 XPlorer (Up to 110 GHz | 490MHz RTBW)

#1 · 14/06/2023, 19:20

We are working on a complete new real-time analyzer concept called the "XPlorer" (XPR).

Thanks to our patented ADST (Advanced Direct Sampling Technology) it will cover a stunning frequency range of up to 110 GHz (or even higher), will offer a RTBW of 60MHz, 120MHz, 245MHz and 490MHz and a sweep speed of over 3THz/s.

Only one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (10G/20G) Type C connection with USB PD (power delivery) will be needed to operate the unit.

We will offer 4 additional versions with rugged wave guide connections instead of 1mm:

SPECTRAN V6 XPR 250XB-WR08 (90-140GHz)
SPECTRAN V6 XPR 250XB-WR10 (75-110GHz)
SPECTRAN V6 XPR 250XB-WR12 (60-90GHz)
SPECTRAN V6 XPR 250XB-WR15 (50-75GHz)

More to come soon.

First renderings look great!

Latest measurements show a world record sensitivity of 10dB NF for the 250XB-WR12 at 77GHz!

This will make it THE perfect choice for automotive radar measurement (76GHz to 81GHz).

By stitching multiple units it offers a real-time bandwidth of 490MHz (base unit) to 6GHz (12 units) at 16Bit ADC resolution.
