The B2980A Series of graphical femto/picoammeters and electrometers from Keysight Technologies can confidently measure down to 0.01fA which is 0.01 x 10-15A, and up to 10 petaohms (PΩ) which is 10 x 1015Ohms. In recent years, research and development into new materials, such as nanomaterial, graphene, polymers and dielectric material, has increased significantly.

Wideband signal generation and analysis and research on 5G and mmW communication are just two of the test technologies and solutions that Keysight Technologies will bring to its show debut at European Microwave Week in Rome (Oct 7-9). The test and measurement company will host workshops and demonstrate test solutions in four key areas: aerospace and defence, device characterisation, simulation using Keysight’s Advanced Design System (ADS), ...

Keysight Technologies has introduced a spectrum frequency domain analysis application solution for real-time oscilloscopes. The FDA option extends the capabilities of Keysight Infiniium and InfiniiVision Series oscilloscopes by enabling engineers to acquire live signals from the oscilloscope and visualise them in the frequency domain as well as make key frequency domain measurements.

Watch this video from Keysight Technologies to learn how to use the jitter analysis and real time eye features of the InfiniiVision 6000 X-Series oscilloscopes.

The march towards 5G wireless communication has started and Keysight Technologies has positioned itself as a leading player by announcing membership in the Korea 5G Forum. The Forum was founded by the Ministry of Science, ICT (information and communications technology) and Future Planning (MSIP) to lead the development of 5G mobile wireless communications and to commercialise 5G technology.

Designed to help engineers improve PA efficiency through support for crest factor reduction (CFR), envelope tracking (ET) and digital pre-distortion (DPD) technologies, Keysight Technologies’ N7614B Signal Studio for Power Amplifier (PA) Test is an all-in-one, general-purpose test suite.

Keysight Technologies has made two additions to its Signal Studio software suite of signal creation tools. The first is signal generation software for the IEEE 802.15.4g-based Wi-SUN standard. The second is support for LTE/LTE-Advanced uplink (UL) 2x2 MIMO with real-time Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ).

And now it is official. Keysight Technologies has begun operations today after it was announced that the electronic measurement business of Agilent Technologies has begun operating under the Keysight name. It will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of Agilent Technologies until early November when the separation is expected to be completed and Keysight begins trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol KEYS.

Agilent Technologies says that the Modelithics COMPLETE Library of RF and microwave component model libraries is available free of charge for six months to Genesys 2014 users new to Modelithics. The Modelithics COMPLETE Library contains Global Models that represent entire RLC component families as compact models with layout attributes, pad de-embedding capability, and offer scaling of part-value, substrate type and thickness, and solder pad geome...

Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) signals are commonly used to test networks. Trueform waveform generators can easily generate CCITT standard PRBS signals. With less than 1ps of jitter, see why Trueform is suited for your test needs.

Watch this short comparison video from Agilent to see how the Infiniium S-series oscilloscopes compare to the Teledyne LeCroy HDO series oscilloscopes.

  The truth behind real-time and sampling oscilloscope jitter measurements. By Daniel Ruebusch, Agilent Technologies.

Agilent Technologies has launched a test solution for characterising USB 3.1 receivers. Using the Agilent USB 3.1 receiver test set, design and test engineers in the semiconductor and computer industry can now accurately characterise and verify USB 3.1 receiver ports in ASICs and chipsets.

Compliance test applications for 100 Gigabit Ethernet networking systems have been unveiled by Agilent Technologies. The Agilent N8830A 100GBASE-CR4, N8829A 100GBASE-KR4 and N8828A 40GBASE-CR4/100GBASE-CR10 test applications help network-design engineers accelerate turn-on and debugging of 100G Ethernet networking systems.

Agilent Technologies’ M9099 Waveform Creator 2.0 provides new capabilities for engineers working on the development of radars, satellite communications, military radios and the next generation of DOCSIS 3.1 cable modems. Release 2.0 of the software provides new waveform segment types that are easily combined into multiple tracks and can be aggregated into one composite waveform.

Agilent Technologies has developed a power device capacitance analyser that automatically characterises power device junction capacitances using real operating voltages. With the increasing use of power devices fabricated from emerging materials like SiC and GaN, switching power supplies are now operating at increasingly higher frequencies.

Semiconductor companies developing DDR controller IP, those developing DRAM chips and DIMMs, and OEMs integrating the controller and DIMM into a system using PCB technology can now use Agilent Technologies’ Advanced Systems DDR4 Compliance Test Bench for a complete workflow from simulation of a candidate to measurement of the finished prototype.

Designing and characterising components and RF subsystems for base stations, microcells, picocells, repeaters and mobile devices is becoming more complex as multi-antenna designs require increasingly complex multi-channel test configurations. 

Agilent Technologies has launched a family of basic AC power sources that deliver stable, reliable power for testing electronic devices during design and manufacturing. The new AC6800 series includes four models from 500 to 4000 VA output power, all with the quality and capability required for basic testing.

Agilent Technologies has unveiled a multi-channel antenna calibration Reference Solution for calibrating and characterizing large, multi-channel phased-array antennas during integration and manufacturing. This is the second in a series of modular-based Reference Solutions consisting of essential test system components, including hardware, software and measurement expertise.
