SAN FRANCISCO, 13 June 2006. Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced new design and measurement solutions for advanced microwave and wireless research and development.
Agilent is introducing new capabilities for its PNA Series network analyzer to simplify complex measurements for multiport and active device test. The new capabilities enable RF and microwave engineers to characterize components faster and increase production throughput while enhancing accuracy.
Agilent is announcing the availability of an IEEE 802.11n MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) modulation analysis capability for its 89600 Series vector signal analysis software. Featuring a broad set of measurements, this capability is the ideal R&D tool for developers of MIMO-based IEEE 802.11n components, subsystems and systems, using general-purpose measurement tools.
The Agilent N4010A wireless connectivity test set (with option 107) supports Bluetooth EDR (enhanced data rate) test mode, ensuring devices adhere to the Bluetooth 2.0 standard by enabling loop-back testing of EDR transmitters and receivers.
The new Agilent 3D electromagnetic (EM) design and verification software, EMDS, is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM).
The Agilent PSA built-in measuring receiver personality (Option 233) converts the general-purpose PSA series high-performance spectrum analyzer into the flexible and compact N5531S measuring receiver system. The N5531S consists of a PSA, including an optional audio input, a P-Series power meter, and a sensor module with single-input connection up to 50GHz. It
