42.98-GHz Spectrum Analyzer Debuts
-- Test & Measurement World, 8/8/2005 10:50:00 AM
Agilent Technologies has introduced a 42.98-GHz spectrum analyzer that offers resolution bandwidths up to 8 MHz. The latest in Agilent's PSA Series of spectrum analyzers, the E4447A targets designers and production engineers working with microwave and millimeter applications, including satellite and emerging digital communications, pulsed signals, and 3G wireless systems, according to the company, which adds that it can be combined with Agilent's 89601A vector signal analysis software to help R&D engineers to evaluate and troubleshoot wireless and emerging communications formats.
"Agilent's PSA Series offers R&D engineers unmatched levels of measurement capability, flexibility, design verification, and troubleshooting to root cause," said Pat Byrne, president of Agilent's Electronic Products and Solutions Group. "Performance advantages of our new E4447A analyzer include powerful, one-button measurements and a leading-edge combination of flexibility, speed, accuracy, bandwidth, and dynamic range."
It offers the performance specifications of other PSA models. Fifteen optional measurement personalities are available for the E4447A. These application-specific firmware programs enable engineers, with the push of a button, to perform complex measurements like oscillator phase noise and amplifier noise figure, and they can perform scalar network analysis for components as well as digital modulation analysis on 2G to 3.5G signals.
The Agilent 89601A VSA software works with the E4447A and offers traditional RF spectrum displays; I/Q analysis up to 8 MHz; signal capture memory with recording and playback; RF and IF triggering; a variety of analog and digital demodulators; and an extensive set of time, frequency, and modulation analysis tools. Standard-signal presets cover GSM (EDGE), cdma2000, W-CDMA, 1xEV-DO, and others. For emerging standards, the 89601A offers digital demodulators with variable center frequency, symbol rate, and filter type.
