Agilent Technologies has introduced two active differential probes for RF and Microwave instruments -- the U1818A/B -- that feature high differential input impedance from 100 kHz to 7 or 12 GHz. The new probes are designed to be directly compatible with Agilent's network, spectrum and signal source analyzers. The U1818A/B probes provide a high-frequency probing solution for R&D and quality assurance engineers performing RF/Microwave and high-spee...

Agilent Technologies has announced the introduction of the N9030A PXA signal analyzer, the highest-performance member of the Agilent X-Series signal analyzers. The PXA provides frequency coverage up to 26.5 GHz and ensures present and future flexibility through optional measurement capabilities and hardware expandability. The analyzer also includes extensive code-compatibility features that make existing Agilent or HP high-performance signal anal...

Agilent Technologies has introduced its N9000A CXA signal analyzers, a pair of low-cost models that offer frequency coverage up to 7.5 GHz. These new analyzers provide outstanding flexibility through a variety of built-in and optional measurement capabilities that can be easily configured and reconfigured to meet present and future requirements. Target applications include general purpose electronics manufacturing, low-cost R&D, and RF education....

Ophir-Spiricon, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced the 10KW Power/Energy Sensor, the first detector to directly measure very high powers and power densities. Designed for material processing applications, such as welding and metal cutting, the 10KW measures YAG and fiber lasers in the 1040-1100 nm range, and CO2 lasers at 10.6 microns. A wide aperture of 45 mm allows for measurement of broad beams. The max...

FDB Electrical – specialists in earth monitoring equipment are increasing their support to defence contractors, design/specification engineers and electrical project engineers for their PCLM modular range by provision of a downloadable PDF datasheet available from www.fdb.uk.com. The PCLM has been designed especially for application in modular electrical systems as used by military or quasi-military organisations for temporary bases, field ...

JTAG Technologies, a leading provider of IEEE Std. 1149.1 solutions for testing and programming high-density PCBs, has announced a further extension to its line of high-performance boundary-scan IEEE Std. 1149.1 controllers. Known as the DataBlaster JT 37x7/PCIe, the new unit offers support for the popular PCI-express slot format found extensively in today’s PCs. The PCIe bus is a high-speed serial replacement of the older parallel PCI bus.

At the Defence Systems and Equipment International (DSEI) GOEPEL electronic, worldwide leading vendor of JTAG/Boundary Scan solutions compliant with IEEE1149.x, announced the launch of PXI 5396/FXT-x, a further series of JTAG/Boundary Scan digital I/O modules on the basis of the PXI bus. The PXI5396-FXT was developed in cooperation with SELEX Galileo and supports both the structural JTAG/Boundary Scan Test and dynamic I/O operations up to 100MHz...

Aeroflex today announced it has added new LTE measurement capabilities to its flexible, modular PXI 3000 platform. This latest addition enables production test engineers to achieve faster time to volume for RF components and LTE user equipment. The new solution leverages itself on Aeroflex’s track record in LTE testing for R&D and the proven yield and throughput benefits of the PXI 3000 Series platform in mobile handset manufacturing.

The new MCL MT4100 broadband power amplifier is the latest design from the field-proven MT4000 TWT family. This high power amplifier is ideal for use in radar, EMC, and EW testing, and wherever wideband applications are required. Advanced Test Equipment Rentals offers a model covering 2.5-7.5 GHz with an output power range up to 500W typical.

Anritsu Corporation meets the demands of testing the technology for next generation communications networks as it introduces the new 56Gbit/s MUX/DEMUX modules to its MP1800 Signal Quality Analyzer.
