Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies and Mu Dynamics today announced a collaboration to tightly integrate Agilent's industry-leading N2X multiservices test solution with Mu's award-winning Test Suite family. The integration, already in use at leading network operators and their vendor suppliers, accelerates the design and automation of tests to evaluate the impact of unexpected device/systems scenarios on network performance and reliability. The testing emulates...

Agilent Technologies has introduced an interference analyzer option for its popular FieldFox RF Analyzer, the world's most integrated RF handheld for wireless installation and maintenance (I&M). The company also introduced new, industry-first spectrum analyzer features.

Verigy has introduced the V101, a low-cost, zero-footprint, 100 MHz tester-on-board system for wafer sort and final test of today’s most cost-sensitive ICs and microcontrollers. The V101 addresses the extreme low cost requirements of these devices and intense time-to-market pressures.

The new counter has a frequency range from 0.001 Hz to over 3000 MHz with high sensitivity across the range. The high-quality TCXO timebase is stable to within ±1 part in 106 over the full temperature range, and provides a low aging rate. Its short warm-up time allows accurate measurements to be made even under portable battery-powered conditions.

Agilent Technologies has introduced four new oscilloscope probe positioners. The N278xA Series probe positioners provide quick and stable probe positioning for making measurements on PC boards and other devices that require hands-free probing.

Keithley Instruments has announced an expansion of its Series 3700 System Switch/Multimeter and plug-in card family with the addition of a new plug-in switching card, the Model 3731 6´16 High Speed, Reed Relay, Matrix Card. Its voltage and current characteristics (200V, 1A switched or 2A carry signal capacity) make it ideal for use in multi-channel I-V testing in conjunction with Keithley’s Series 2600A System SourceMeter instruments.

Agilent has introduced a single-unit solution - the U8903A audio analyzer -- that helps users quantify characteristics that affect sound quality in audio devices. The Agilent U8903A is also the next-generation replacement for the widely used legacy 8903B audio analyzer.

Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced the most flexible and integrated measurement automation software for Agilent Infiniium real-time oscilloscopes. N5467A user-defined application software gives engineers the ability to rapidly automate measurements on Infiniium oscilloscopes, which helps them save time and money.

Aeroflex claims another world first for its market-leading TM500 test mobile with the launch of support for the new 3GPP W-CDMA Release 8 Dual Cell HSDPA (DC-HSDPA) feature. Building on the Aeroflex TM500’s existing Release 7 HSPA+ solution, the launch of DC-HSDPA support provides network infrastructure equipment manufacturers with the early access to the test capabilities they need to speed its development and deployment.

Livingston has announced a rental agreement with Agilent, which came into effect this spring. The agreement is seen as an opportunity to increase Livingston’s footprint globally, and further their continued expansion into the RF, microwave, aerospace and defence markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
