SPECTRAN® - Our affordable EMC / environmental measurement devices

CONFORMING TO STANDARDS and EXACT
Measurement of EMC 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 bak-
kground, by a high-performance DSP (digital signal processor). This ultra-fast processor even allows REAL-TIME display in all
EMF (LF) versions of the SPECTRAN® series (could you ask for more?). Simply amazing.

Handy, cost-effective and beautiful exterior - what more could you ask ?

Spectrum ANALYSIS
Real ANALYSIS:
Professional RF and EMF measurement devices use a frequency dependant measure-
ment approach, the so-called spectrum analysis. In a certain frequency range, the indivi-
duals signals and their respective strengths are being broken down, for example into a "bar-
graph" display (see SPECTRAN® screenshots on the right). The height of the individual bars
represents the corresponding signal strength. For the 3 strongest signal sources, SPEC-
TRAN® 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.
EMF spectrum display and automatic
In the shown spectrum of the SPECTRAN® RF measurement device, a frequency range of triple multi-marker display on the digital
approx. 100MHz-7GHz is being analysed from left to right (full sweep). During analysis, the screen of a NF-SPECTRAN®
(Screenshot)
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 mapping of mea-
surement results to the corresponding radiation sources is possible.

The new standard: 3D MEASUREMENT

3D magnetic field measurement:
Mismeasurement caused by wrongly adjusting the measurement device in space or trou-
blesome and complex 3D calculations with a calculator are a problem of the past from now
on, thanks to SPECTRAN® EMF (LF) measurement devices. All SPECTRAN® EMF (LF)
measurement devices can measure magnetic fields directly in 3D! This has become possi-
ble thanks to the newest development from the Aaronia laboratories: Our high-tech REAL
3D miniature sensor coil. Consisting of a specially crafted nylon base with 3 independant
windings made of ultra-thin, 0,05 mm! wire, it impresses with its extremely high sensitivity.
It allows measurement of magnetic fields in all 3 spacial dimensions. The signal processor
(DSP) of the SPECTRAN® performs the resulting highly complex calculations. You receive
perfect 3D measurement results which can otherwise only be achieved by using highly pro-
fessional equipment.

LONG-TERM MEASUREMENT (Data logging feature)
For SERIOUS measurements:
SPECTRAN® measurement devices with data logger allow long-term recordings of mea-
surement results over a freely adjustable period of time. This is particularly indispensa-
ble for SERIOUS evaluation of exposure by appliances and machinery which have a chan-
ging power consumption or radiation strength over time. Examples for these include railro-
ads, 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 attached graphics). WITHOUT long-term recordings, MASSIVE
Daily variation of various radiation
misinterpretation of total exposure can occur. With long-term data logging using SPEC- sources discloses MASSIVE variation
TRAN®, the daily variation of exposure can be recorded and analysed. Thus, the ACTUAL in exposure
total exposure can be evaluated precisely.
With this functionality, you can even discover sporadic EMC problems which would otherwi-
se be very hard to detect.
The SPECTRAN® units "only" last 4 or 7 (depending on model) hours with one battery char-
ge. If this is not enough, the external power supply can be used to extend the recording time-
span infinitely.

discloses EXTREME variation in time

EXPOSURE LIMITS Display

At the push of a button:
Exposure limit calculation used to be a complex and awkward procedure even for the pro-
fessional, as most of the time, a chaotic mixture of an abundance of different frequencies,
modulations and signal strengths is present.
The indispensible, highly complex calculation of frequency-dependant exposure limits can
be performed CONFORMING TO STANDARDS (e.g. ICNIRP) by a spectrum analyser with
high-performance software. Not a problem for SPECTRAN® units: They can calculate even
several authoritative exposure limits, precautionary limits and recommendations (simply
selectable via a button) and display them as a practical bargraph display (including con-
vergence display in percent!), while the measurement is running.

The attached SPECTRAN® screenshot demonstrates how it works: At the push of a button,
the ICNIRP exposure limit has been chosen among the various available exposure limits.
SPECTRAN® now automatically calculates convergence or excess of this limit. For achie-
ving this, often thousands of complex calculations have to be performed per second, and a
steady scan of the entire frequency range needs to be performed. A true nightmare for every
processor. In our test case, the graphic display shows an approximation towards the ICNIRP Graphic display of frequency-depen-
limit by 0,06%. If you use a HF-60100 V4 or NF-5030 you can even cover the total ICNIRP- dant exposure limits. They disclose the
INDISPENSIBLE consideration of sig-
banwidth (depending on frequency). nal frequency

Hence, even the novice can perform exposure limit calculations ACCORDING TO STAN-
DARDS (like ICNIRP) without having to use complex tables and calculators.
It really can't get any simpler.

SPECTRAN® displays exposure limits

both as percentage as well as a bar-
graph display. Our example shows
approximation to the ICNIRP exposure
limits by 0,06%. (Screenshot)

Lots of power: The rechargable Aaronia NiMH battery

Superlong operating time:
Starting with the SPECTRAN® NF-1010E or SPECTRAN® HF-2025E, respectively, the
rechargable Aaronia NiMH high-performance battery is supplied as standard. It has been
developed specifically for the SPECTRAN® devices and is optimally suited for their requi-
rements. 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 ope-
ration of the SPECTRAN® for approx. 4 hours is possible. The special version with 2200mAh
(available at an extra charge) bumps this up to a stunning 7 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 7 hours of continuous operation with a sin-
gle 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® model NF-1010 can also subsequently be exten-
ded with an Aaronia battery (STRONGLY recommended!).

Options for Spectran Spectrum Analyzers
OPTIONS HF / RF SPECTRUM ANALYZER
Option 001: 1MB memory expansion Order/Art.-No.: 180
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 accomodate approximately 100 of them.
Standard memory size is 64K.

Option 020: 15dB low-noise preamplifier Order/Art.-No.: 177

This option provides an internal, super low-noise 15dB preamplifier, enabling maximum performance particularly when measuring extremely weak signals. It is
switched via a TRUE RF switch. There really is no excuse for not ordering this one, considering its very attractive price!

Option 002: 0.5ppm TCXO timebase Order/Art.-No.: 181

This highly precise TCXO timebase, which has been especially developed for the SPECTRAN, offers significantly reduced phase noise (jitter). This will allow the
use of far narrower filters (in development), which will in turn vastly enhance sensitivity. To fully exploit the maximum sensitivity of the HF-60100 V4, this option
is indispensable! Furthermore, the TXCO timebase allows far more accurate frequency measurement and display and is therefore a MUST-HAVE for future appli-
cations like time-domain measurements or code-selective measurement of UMTS, all already in development.
The standard accuracy WITHOUT option 002 is 50ppm.

Option 20x 2,5GHz / 4GHz / 6GHz / 8GHz / 10GHz Peak Power-Meter Order/Art.-No.: 182-x
A 2.5 to 10GHz peak power meter (5 versions depending on the SPECTRAN model, see price list below). This option augments your SPECTRAN® with a power
meter with up to 10GHz of bandwidth. Furthermore, it allows exact measurement of signal peaks with high crest factor like those occuring in WLAN technology,
or extremely short signals, like RADAR bursts. What's more, measurement is performed in REAL TIME and BROADBAND, while at the same time being tem-
perature-compensated. It is also an ideal 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 permissible level is +10dBm. By adding our 20dB attenuator (see price list), the maximum
measurable signal level can be enhanced to +30dBm or +50dBm!

Option 022: 40dB low-noise preamplifier DC-1GHz Order/Art.-No.: 177-2

This option provides an external, super low-noise 40dB preamplifier, enabling maximum performance particularly when measuring extremely weak signals at a
EN55011, EN55022 or EN50371 EMC-test. If you use our BicoLOG antenna or our PBS1 Probeset and EMC-Sniffer this amplifier is a MUST HAVE to get the
best performance!

OPTIONS EMF / NF SPECTRUM ANALYZER

Option 001: 1MB memory expansion Order/Art.-No.: 180
Available for: NF-5010, NF-5030.
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 accomodate approximately 100 of them.
Standard memory size is 64K.

Option 005: 12Bit Dual DDC frequency filter Order/Art.-No.: 186

Available for: NF-5030 (integrated in the NF-XFR).
This cutting edge 12Bit DDC frequency filter allows extremely fast, crisp and accurate frequency filtering, while at the same time drastically enhancing the sen-
sitivity. As an example, magnetic fields can (depending on their frequency) still be measured down to 1pT (0.001nT), compared to 0.1nT without the option. Option
005 is therefore a MUST-HAVE for professional measurement, especially considering its attractive price.

Option 006: 3D sensor for static magnetic fields Order/Art.-No.: 188

Available for: NF-5030.
This top-grade geomagnetic field sensor provides the ability to conduct geophysical assessments and measurement of geomagnetic field anomalies. However,
it can also be used to turn the instrument into a Gaussmeter, measuring the difference between field strengths (static fields) of permanent magnets. Thanks to
its ISOTROPIC (3D) construction, measurements can be performed in all three spacial dimensions AT ONCE (or seperately).
Sensitivity is about 10nT-600µT.

Option 009: 24Bit resolution for 3D static magnetic field sensor Order/Art.-No.: 178
Available for: NF-5030.
Option 009 provides a significantly higher resolution for the optional 3D magnetic field sensor for measurement of static magnetic fields (option 006); it is ABSO-
LUTELY mandatory for geomagnetic surveys. The standard resolution of the NF-5030 WITHOUT option 009 is 14Bit.

Option 010: 30MHz frequency extension Order/Art.-No.: 179-1

Available for: NF-5030.
Our 30MHz frequency extension extends the frequency range of the NF-5030 to the absolute maximum. The new frequency range is 1kHz - 30MHz. Amongst
others, it even allows measurement of VDSL2. The higher clock frequency of the DDC provided by this option is a MUST HAVE for technicians and authorities
needing ACCURATE assessment of signal sources of up to 30MHz.
The maximum frequency of the NF-5030 WITHOUT option 010 is 1MHz.
