Options
- Option 001 (1MB Memory Expansion)
This memory expansion is a MUST-HAVE particularly when using the data logger, as the standard capacity can quickly become exhausted in this mode. The memory expansion provides space for more than 10 000 logs, while the standard memory will only last for approximately 100 of them.
Standard memory size is 64K. - Option 202 (4GHz Broadband Peak Power Meter for HF-4040)
This option expands your SPECTRAN with a Peak Power Meter with full 4GHz of bandwidth. Furthermore it allows exact measurement of signals with high crest factor like those of WLAN technology, and even extremely short signals, like Radar bursts. What's more, measurement is performed in real-time and broadband, while at the same time being temperature-compensated. It is also an perfect solution for measurement of cable attenuation or receiver output. Depending on the actual frequency, the Power Meter provides a sensitivity of up to approx. -50dBm, while the maximum usable level is +10dBm.
Accessories
- 3000mAh Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Power-Battery
Offers a MUCH higher operation time for your SPECTRAN (up to 400%). Highly recommended for autonomic measurement.
The 1300mAh standard battery will be replaced. You can find more product details in our online store. - USB Cable (Special Version)
To connect your SPECTRAN to the PC. Special version with high performance EMC-ferrite. Highly recommended for PC use. You can find more product details in our online store.
- Outdoor Rubber Protection for SPECTRAN Analyzers
Protect and personalize your SPECTRAN with a sturdy rubber case and keep it scratch-n-dent free. Allows full access to all functions. Highly recommended for outdoor usage. You can find more product details in our online store.
- Pistol Grip / Miniature Tripod
Detachable handle with super-practical tripod mode. It is attachable to the backside of the SPECTRAN and allows a more comfortable hand held usage or a perfect desktop stand (e.g. during PC-connection while using our analyzer software). You can find more product details in our online shop.
- Heavy Multifunctional Pistol Grip
Highly recommended for the usage of our HyperLOG antennas: Quick and easy change of antenna polarization, perfect antenna handling (even with the more heavy HyperLOG 40xx and 30xxx series). A MUST-HAVE for any pro user. You can find more product details in our online shop.
- 12V Car Power Adapter
Charges your SPECTRAN or UBBV preamplifier through the cigarette lighter. Recommended for the mobile use of the SPECTRAN Spectrum Analyzer. You can find more product details in our online store.
- 1m, 5m or 10m Low Loss SMA Cable
High quality special SMA cable for connecting any HyperLOG®-Antenna or BicoLOG®-Antenna or the preamplifiers UBBV Series with various test equipment like Aaronia RF Spectrum-Analyzer. You can find more details about the article in our online shop.
- 20dB SMA Attenuator
Expands the measurement range from +20dBm to +40dBm. More product details in our online shop.
- DC-Blocker (SMA)
The DC-Blocker must be used if you want to measure DC powered signals like DSL/ISDN lines. It prevents the RF-input of the SPECTRAN to be destroyed by the DC-voltages. Simply connect the DC-Blocker to the SMA-input of your SPECTRAN. More product details in our shop.
