Test & Measurement Basic

Test & Measurement Basic Spectrum Analyzer for Budget-Driven Applications Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a new basic spectrum analyzer for budget-constrained applications in R&D, manufacturing, maintenance, education labs, spectrum management, bench repair and other general-purpose analyzer applications. „To protect profitability, increasing productivity on a smaller budget is a growing imperative. In response to this market need, our new basic spectrum analyzer is rich in features and value- priced,“ said Brian LeMay, general manager of Agilent‘s Chengdu Instruments Division. „Plus, value-added options like channel scanner, tracking generator and time-gated spectrum analysis allow the unit‘s capabilities to change to keep pace with industry dynamics.“ The Agilent N9322C basic spectrum analyzer for the 9-kHz to 7-GHz frequency includes: • Typical -152 dBm DANL for viewing low-level signals easily and clearly. • ±0.1ppm annual aging rate, which reduces frequency drift for more accurate measurements. • One-button PowerSuite (CHP, OBW, ACPR, SEM and spectrogram), which makes power measurements and signal monitoring simple and intuitive. • Optional 7-GHz tracking generator with built-in VSWR bridge, which supports transmission and reflection measurements. • Demodulation mode to easily and cost-effectively gain more insight into AM, FM, ASK and FSK signal analysis. • Seven user-definable soft keys, which provide quick access to seven of the most frequently used measurement setups, making it easy to switch from one task to another. ■ Agilent Technologies Inc. www.agilent.com 50 hf-praxis 2/2013

Software Galileo Testing with GNSS Signal Creation Software Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that its Signal Studio for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) software has been enhanced with realtime and basic mode capabilities designed to allow engineers to simulate Galileo signals for receiver testing and to address the needs of the manufacturing test market. Signal Studio's new capability, comprising the Advanced Galileo real-time mode and the Scenario Generator for Advanced Galileo, allows users to perform real-time, multi-satellite simulation for the European Galileo system. Galileo is a satellite-based navigation system similar to the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS system. While the full system (including 27 opera- tional satellites and three active spares) is not expected to be completed until 2019, Galileoready chipsets and receivers are available today. Creating custom scenarios Agilent's Advanced Galileo software supports these development efforts by allowing engineers to generate signals that simulate Galileo satellites or a combination of Galileo, GPS and/or Additional Information Agilent‘s new Signal Studio for GNSS real-time capabilities for Galileo (Opt. N7609B- UFP and Opt. N7609B-VFP) and basic waveform generation capability (Opt. N7609B- EFP) are now available. The real-time capability includes a connectivity option (connection to Agilent‘s EXG or MXG signal generator) and any one of the real-time options for GPS (QFP), GLO- NASS (SFP) or Galileo (UFP). The basic waveform capability includes a connectivity option (e.g., connection to Agilent‘s EXG or MXG signal generator) and the basic single satellite waveform option (EFP). The basic waveform capability can also be used with Agilent‘s ESG or PSG signal generators, EXT wireless communications test set, or PXB baseband generator and channel emulator. GLONASS satellites. With the Scenario Generator for Advanced Galileo, users can create custom scenarios (simulating stationary or moving receivers) for specific locations, dates and times that contain Galileo satellites. Such capabilities are targeted at engineers designing or testing GNSS chipsets, modules, components or receivers, as well as mobile devices providing navigation or location-based services. Simple receiver testing Signal Studio's new basicmode capability is available via the Basic Single Satellite Waveform option. It provides engineers with single satellite waveform files that can be used for simple receiver testing in manufacturing and other applications. In addition to GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, waveform files are also available for the Chinese Compass/Beidou2 system, satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS), and the Japanese Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). The availability of waveform files for these newer systems speeds time-tomarket by enabling basic testing for satellite acquisition/tracking and receiver sensitivity in R&D and design verification. "By incorporating GNSS receivers that take advantage of satellites from multiple constellations into smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, engineers now have the ability to not only differentiate their products, but also improve their location-based capabilities," said Jim Curran, marketing manager of Agilent's Microwave and Communications Division."Agilent's new Signal Studio for GNSS capabilities simplify these tasks by allowing simulation of signals from multiple satellite systems, along with modeling of impairments to enable thorough testing of GNSS receivers under different situations. Such capabilities are critical to effectively addressing the needs of the rapidly growing global GNSS market." ■ Agilent Technologies www.agilent.com hf-praxis 2/2013 51
