- Economical RF-vector-signal analyzer achieves top measurement speed
Agilent Technologies has introduced its EXA RF-VSA (vector-signal analyzer), which the company says sets a new standard for value in its field. According to Agilent, the EXA is the industry’s fastest economy-class signal analyzer. Says a company spokesperson, the instrument’s speed and accuracy, coupled with its unprecedented performance, application coverage, ......
- Agilent debuts EXA economy signal analyzer
Agilent Technologies’ EXA signal analyzer provides flexible, scalable signal analysis to budget-conscious engineers. At a lower performance point than Agilent’s MXA signal analyzer, the EXA includes a set of standard one-button measurements for characterizing signal quality. It measures adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR), channel power, occupied bandwidth, power complementary cumulative distribution ......

- LXI speeds gigahertz measurements
Ethernet isn’t generally considered a conduit for RF and microwave signals, but the appearance of the LXI version of Ethernet on a variety of instruments is simplifying and speeding RF and microwave measurement tasks. When considering LXI for RF applications, said Chris Van Woerkom, senior marketing engineer in the Electronic ......
- Test set speeds next-generation wireless-device calibration
Agilent Technologies has announced the availability of a next-generation wireless-communications test-set platform, which the company calls ideal for calibrating mobile phones in high-volume manufacturing. The test set provides industry-leading measurement speed and integrity as well as unique scalability—all targeting a decrease in the manufacturing cost of test. The Agilent E6601A ......
- Filter simplifies software-defined radio
SDRs (software-defined radios) provide enormous flexibility, permitting you to change modes or waveforms at will. This Design Idea focuses on the “exciter” portion of a moderate-bandwidth SDR ( Figure 1 ). The RF carrier or transmitter IF enters the quadrature modulator, and the modulated output exits for further frequency translation ......
