PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2005--Agilent
Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today introduced the industry's first 42.98
GHz spectrum analyzer, which offers resolution bandwidths up to 8 MHz.
The latest in Agilent's PSA Series of spectrum analyzers, the E4447A
offers high-performance analysis for designers and production
engineers of microwave and millimeter applications, including
satellite and emerging digital communications, pulsed signals, and 3G
wireless systems.
Combined with Agilent's 89601A vector signal analysis software,
the E4447A is also an indispensable tool for 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."
Superior Performance
The Agilent E4447A PSA offers the same performance as the PSA
Series, the industry's most accurate spectrum analyzer, with +/- 0.62
dB (+/- 0.17 dB typical) amplitude accuracy at 1 GHz; the fastest
adjacent channel power, with less than 30 ms and low-level spur search
to 42.98 GHz; plus a dynamic range offering the broadest capability
and a 2 dB step attenuator up to 42.98 GHz. The PSA also performs
conducted and radiated CISPR and MIL-STD EMI measurements.
The Power Suite tool set on the E4447A offers 10 flexible,
one-button RF and microwave power measurements, including multicarrier
ACP, CCDF and TOI. Twelve format-based setups are available to
automatically set up the parameters for general-purpose wireless
standards.
Fifteen optional measurement personalities are available for the
E4447A. Conveniently built into the analyzer, these
application-specific firmware programs provide advanced measurement
capability with one-button simplicity. Engineers, with the push of a
button, can easily perform complex measurements like phase noise for
oscillators, the noise figure of an amplifier, scalar network analysis
for components, as well as digital modulation analysis on 2G to 3.5G
signals and more.
External 89601A Vector Signal Analysis Software
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
wide 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 many more.
For emerging standards, the 89601A offers flexible digital
demodulators with variable center frequency, symbol rate, filter type
and alpha/BT.
