Aaronia AG is set to showcase its extensive range of advanced technology solutions at electronica 2026 in Munich, taking place from November 10–13. The exhibition will feature rugged, high-performance tablets, precision signal generators designed for quantum processor control, and the latest high-frequency power sensors. Special attention will be given to customizable computer systems developed for demanding industrial environments, alongside the SPARK series, which enables the generation of sophisticated high-frequency signals. Visitors can explore Aaronia’s latest innovations across more than 200 square meters of exhibition space in Hall A4, Booth 516.

The new rugged tablet is the centerpiece. A unique feature is the user-accessible mounting slot, ideal for integrating specialized sensors. This transforms the tablet into the foundation for a wide range of mobile measurement, testing, and data acquisition systems. Integrators can directly incorporate their own hardware into the platform, developing tailored solutions to meet their customers’ specific requirements. The spectrum ranges from GPS and cellular modules to barcode scanners, data loggers, mini-SDRs, and storage solutions, as well as specialized sensors for diverse applications. In the future, the rugged laptop for the B2B segment will also be equipped with the same slot, serving as the basis for a variety of on-site measurement and analysis solutions.

The computing power is also designed for demanding applications. The tablet is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor, 64 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 15.6-inch touchscreen with a brightness of 1,500 cd/m². Two 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports and one 10 Gbps SFP+ interface support integration into high-performance communication and measurement systems.

SPARK for precise control of qubits

Depending on the model, the SPECTRAN SPARK signal generator family covers frequencies from 9 kHz to 20 GHz and operates with 16-bit digital-to-analog converters and sampling rates up to 40 GSPS. This enables the generation of complex high-frequency signals with high temporal precision. This technology is particularly interesting for the development of superconducting quantum processors. Their fundamental information units, the qubits, must be controlled with precisely defined microwave signals. SPARK supports the generation of corresponding waveforms with a temporal resolution of 25 picoseconds. Furthermore, the device family provides signals for reading out qubit states.

Power measurement up to over 1 THz

With its new high-frequency power sensors, Aaronia is expanding its measurement technology portfolio into the terahertz range. The XPS-WR series comprises eight waveguide sensor models for frequency-dependent measurement ranges between 60 GHz and 1.1 THz. They are suitable for measuring unmodulated high-frequency signals, for example, in the development of millimeter-wave and terahertz systems. Aaronia is also presenting additional power sensors for various applications. The XPS-CW series is used for measuring unmodulated continuous signals, while the XPS-AV models also capture pulse- and vector-modulated signals. Measuring pulse waveforms, peak power, and statistical signal parameters is no problem with the XPS-PA series. Extremely precise measurements of continuous and modulated signals up to 110 GHz are possible with the thermal sensors of the XPS-TH series. Depending on the sensor type, the frequency ranges extend to 67 or 110 GHz. The four-channel PowerMeter XPM-1000 base station allows the parallel operation of up to four sensors, which can significantly speed up various measurement tasks. Furthermore, each power sensor can be zeroed before measurement to achieve even more reliable results.

Visit us from November 10th to 13th at electronica 2026 in Munich at our booth 516A in Hall 4. Experience real-time spectrum analysis with the new SPECTRAN V6 series, rugged laptops, and high-frequency power sensors in the THz range, made in Germany.
