Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A)
recently announced the availability of the first dual-channel PXI vector signal
analyzer that delivers high-bandwidth, independently tuned, two-channel,
continuous data capture. This product, a new configuration of Agilent's M9392A
analyzer, enables R&D and test engineers to detect and identify sources of
RF interference - even in dense urban environments where many unwanted signals
may be present.
The solution is ideal for
troubleshooting wireless devices in either the lab or real-world environments.
The dual-channel PXI
vector signal analyzer, offers a unique combination of
bandwidth, multichannel support, and gapless recording, with 250 MHz of
analysis bandwidth, 26.5-GHz frequency coverage on two channels, and continuous
streaming up to 100 MHz bandwidth. Both channels can be housed in an 18-slot,
4U PXIe chassis to provide excellent speed
and scalability in a small form factor.
Engineers can use the dual-channel PXI
vector signal analyzer to perform continuous data capture, either directly to
an embedded or external controller for data capture of a few seconds, or to a
RAID for data capture lasting from several minutes to more than six hours,
depending on the storage capacity of the RAID and the desired measurement
bandwidth.
This solution uses Agilent's 89600 VSA software for
reliable, standards-based measurements.
"As modern radios often operate in
urban areas in a complex RF environment with many sources of interference,
Agilent's new wideband, two-channel solution with 100-MHz continuous data
capture provides designers with unique capabilities for environment recording
applications," said Mark Pierpoint, VP and general manager of Agilent's
Software and Modular Solutions Division.
The multichannel
capability for Agilent's PXI vector signal analyzer further
enhances Agilent's fast-growing lineup of more than 50 PXI and AXIe modular products.
This solution can also be used in
combination with Agilent Command Expert, a free software
application that provides fast and easy instrument control in many PC
environments. It combines instrument command sets, documentation, syntax
checking and command execution in a single interface.
U.S. Pricing and Availability
Agilent's new dual-channel PXI vector
signal analyzer is available in a single-channel configuration for $66,235 and
a dual-channel configuration for $132,470; chassis, controller, and 89600 VSA
software are additional.
Existing M9392A customers can upgrade
their hardware and software to enable multichannel control.
Agilent Modular PXI and AXIe Products
Agilent offers a complete lineup of PXI and AXIe products, including digitizers,
arbitrary waveform generators, digitizing oscilloscopes, digital multimeters
and a range of switches.
