Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) recently announced it is
adding new features and options to its recently launched N934xC handheld
spectrum analyzer (HSA) family. The introduction also includes HSA PC software
enhancements.
"The HSA launched in March 2011 delivered a rich, powerful,
field-ready instrument for engineers and technicians," said Brian LeMay,
general manager of Agilent's Chengdu Instruments Division. "Now we have
added even more capabilities to make it one of the most versatile handheld
spectrum analyzers available today."
New standard features of the HSA 20-GHz N9344C, 13.6-GHz N9343C,
and 7-GHz N9342C include:
- Autotune for automatically
finding, tuning and zooming in on the desired signal.
- Marker enhancements that
provide marker zoom-in/out and marker logging with GPS information.
- Graphical user interface that
displays channel power in an easy-to-read meter format.
- Data export to Google Earth and
MapInfo to easily plot signal strength.
New optional HSA N934xC features include ASK/FSK modulation
analysis, a channel scanner, and reference clock synchronization with global
positioning system (GPS). A cable and antenna test option is available
exclusively for the HSA N9342C.
HSA PC software additions allow users to remotely conduct select
measurements, obtain post-analysis of cable and antenna test traces, and
display, record, and play back spectrogram data.
These new enhancements augment the existing capabilities of the
N934xC HSAs, which include:
- MIL PRF 28800F Class
2-compliance.
- No fans or vents to prevent the
ingress of elements.
- One-button measurements and a
clear view screen and backlit keys for use in any lighting condition.
- Weight of just 3.6 kg (7.9
lbs), including its maximum four-hour field-replaceable battery.
- Security erase option that
protects confidential data with a low-level, non-recoverable reformat of
the entire memory chip.
- Task Planner, an
Agilent-exclusive option, which compiles multiple measurement setups into
a single task plan, reducing field test setup by 95 percent and automating
data capture for consistency.
- Best-in-class accuracy,
reliability and performance of RF benchtop spectrum analyzers.
U.S. Pricing, Availability and Additional Information
The Agilent N934xC HSA solutions, including the new PC software,
