 Detailed test report (74 pages) on the SPECTRAN Rev2:

Detailed test report (74 pages) of the CETECOM From 21.4. to 28.4.2006 the test lab of the CETECOM ICT Services GmbH, a company of the RWTÜV AG, made a very detailed test report about the SPECTRAN HF-2025E. The SPECTRAN has been tested for compliance of measurement values in comparison with industrial broadband field probes and professional spectrum analyzer within lab and outdoor. Lots of test have been done to prove the use and measurement accuracy on DECT, WLan, UMTS and GSM.

The final (original) statement of the CETECOM: "...sufficient measurement accuracy during the measurement of RMS signals strength of pulsed and unpulsed signals as required by EMF-test specification. It (HF-2025E) can therefore be applied for EMCE measurements of all tested signal types."

 Test Report on the SPECTRAN Rev2 level accuracy (in german):

Test Report on the SPECTRAN level accuracy The "EMC Transferstelle" at the "FH Koblenz" made a test report on the level accuracy of a SPECTRAN HF-2025E. This report shows the good accuracy of max. 3,2dB at the TOTAL range of a HF-2025E from -80dBm to 0dBm within the used frequency band (german only).

Detailed SPECTRAN Rev2 measurements at the Aaronia Lab with Rohde & Schwarz SMJ100A Vector Signal Generator

This measurements have been made with a SPECTRAN HF-2025E.
We made the test with our own test equipment using a professional VECTOR Signal-Generator with AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) from Rohde & Schwarz type SMJ100A. Our generator is equipped with the following Options:
  • Baseband Generator mit ARB (64 Msamples) (max equipped) (Option SMJ-B10)
  • 100kHz to 6GHz Frequency range (max possible) (Option SMJ-B106)
  • Baseband Main Module (Option SMJ-B13)
    AND our generator includes ALL K-Options:
  • Digital Standard GSM/EDGE (Option SMJ-K40)
  • Digital Standard 3GPP FDD (Option SMJ-K42)
  • Digital Standard MS/BS Tests incl. HSDPA (Option SMJ-K43)
  • Digital Standard GPS (4 satellites) (Option SMJ-K44)
  • Digital Standard CDMA2000 incl. 1xEV-DV (Option SMJ-K46)
  • Digital Standard IEEE 802.11 (a/b/g) (Option SMJ-K48)
  • Digital Standard WiMAX (Option SMJ-K49)
  • Multi carrier CW Signal Generation (Option SMJ-K61)
  • Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) (Option SMJ-K62)
  • BER/BLER Measurement (Option SMJ-K80)
  • etc. etc.
    With this generator we could perform a test of ALL standard signals up to 6GHz. We can generate the following digital standards with the SMJ100A:
    GSM
    3GPP
    CDMA2000
    WLan (IEEE 802.11)
    WiMAX (IEEE 802.16)
    GPS

Rohde & Schwarz SMJ100A

About the setup:
All following measurements use the SAME setting for the SPECTRAN. This offers the best comparison on the different signals. We used the following settings:
FLow = 1995
FHigh = 2005
RBW = 3MHz
SpTime = 500mS
Pulse = ON (Pulse)
Each measurement was perform in HOLD-Mode to get the signal maximum. Therefore this measurements are more accurate then the measurements with the Keithley 2910, which have been performed without HOLD.
The test signal was generated at 2GHz (Center) with -20dBm.
The signal was fed with a regula SAM cable. We used the original SPACTRAN SMA-Cable and a N-to-SMA adapter for the generator output.
The cable was calibrated within the cable setup of the SPECTRAN.
We performed the test within a view days at the Aaronia LAB2 from 30.3 till 5.4.2006.


The System CALIBRATION

system calibration

We used a non modulated test signal to calibrate the SPECTRAN at exactly -20dBm at 2GHz. The SPECTRAn shows the signal with very accurate -20dBm (-20dBm). Please note that the SPECTRAN only offers a full digit dBm display. That's why we also use a notebook with the LCS software. The LCS-Software offers a much higher resolution and offers a 1/100 dBm resolution. The LCS software shows real power with -19,98dBm. Only 0,02dB failure. We can live with that ;-)
Now we have a very accurate calibration to perform our test.

 Some customer feedback about the SPECTRAN in English (incl. original "type error"):

Steve E., USA:
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your model 6060 overall, and your warranty and upgrade policy in particular. I think it says a lot abtut a Company when they back their products like this. I wish more companies did. ... In thirty plus years of doing technical stuff, I've never once felt the need or been compelled to compliment a manufacturer of hardware and software. Until now. Once again, very well done.

Richard B., USA:
Your units look absolutely wonderful! Nice engineering! ... I like your design very much - it is very compact, and ergonomic. They look very "comfortable" to uze.
