Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) recently
enhanced its FieldFox RF analyzers with options for
time-domain analysis and channel-power measurements. These options give
engineers the features they need to more easily and quickly test their RF
communications infrastructure.
Agilent will demonstrate its new
FieldFox options, along with solutions that cover everything from circuit-level
modeling through system verification for general RF, microwave, 4G
communications, and aerospace/defense applications at IMS 2012/IEEE MTT-S (Booth
1015), June 19-21, in Montreal, Canada. A range of premier partner solutions will also be available
on Agilent Avenue and throughout the event area.
With FieldFox's time-domain analysis
(Option 010) engineers can determine the individual frequency response of one
of a series of reflections. Using the powerful gating function, they can remove
unwanted responses such as connector mismatch or cable discontinuities.
For R&D and manufacturing engineers
who design circuits or fixtures, the time-domain capability is especially
useful when testing devices such as transmission lines, fixtures and
connectors. With it, engineers can measure, visualize and characterize device
discontinuities (whether resistive, capacitive or inductive) using a suite of
analysis tools, substantially shortening the time it takes to remove or fix the
cause of unwanted discontinuities.
The new channel-power meter (Option
311) is geared toward engineers and technicians in the wireless installation
and maintenance arena. It provides a simple way to make channelized average
power measurements, without requiring an external USB power sensor. The
channel-power meter provides better accuracy for banded power measurements,
reducing errors caused by out-of-band signals. A large display, simple settings,
and a price tag that's less than buying an external USB sensor make the channel
power-meter option easy to use and ideal for today's cost-sensitive customers.
"Engineers working in today's
fast-paced communication industries require even more measurement and analysis
capabilities to maintain their competitive edge," said Gregg Peters, vice
president and general manager of Agilent's Component Test Division. "Our
new FieldFox options are backed by Agilent's 40-plus-year leadership in RF/microwave
network and spectrum analysis. Coupled with the analyzers' unmatched
measurement integrity, field readiness and adaptability, they ensure today's
engineers have the most productive test solutions to address complex issues in
the field."
The Agilent FieldFox RF analyzers-the
N9912A and the N9923A-are designed for installation and maintenance engineers
working in the wireless, aerospace and defense industries. Designed to
withstand even the toughest working conditions, they accelerate workloads with
a task-driven user interface that saves time in the field. The N9912A (4/6 GHz)
is the world's most integrated handheld analyzer for wireless installation and
maintenance with seven instruments in one. The N9923A (4/6 GHz) is the world's
most accurate handheld RF vector network analyzer, providing the best
measurement stability in the industry (0.01 dB/degree Celsius) and offering the
world's first integrated QuickCal calibration capability available in a
handheld VNA. Both the N9912A and N9923A are designed for indoor and outdoor
use. They are MIL-PRF Class 2 compliant, have no fans and no vents, and weigh
less than 2.8 kg.
