Measurement apps for Agilent's X-Series

2 March 2011 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies recently introduced nine measurement applications for the CXA, the lowest-cost X-Series signal analyser. The applications address cellular communications, wireless networking and digital video standards. The new applications include:

* Cellular communications: GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA/HSPA and TD-SCDMA.

* Wireless networking: 802.16 OFDMA and Bluetooth – the W9081A Bluetooth measurement application is compliant with Bluetooth core specifications version 2.1+ EDR and Low Energy (LE).

* Digital video: DVB-T/H, ISDB-T, DTMB and CMMB.

All of the applications provide one-button RF transmitter measurements, including quality and RF power measurements. The user has the choice of using either a hardkey/softkey manual user interface or an SCPI remote interface, which is particularly beneficial in automated testing such as in manufacturing.

The new measurement applications for the CXA signal analyser are part of a common library of more than 22 advanced measurement applications within the Agilent X-Series family. The X-Series analysers use an evolutionary approach to signal analysis that spans instrumentation, measurements and software. The analysers, with an upgradeable CPU, memory, disk drives and I/O ports; enable engineers to keep their test assets current and extend instrument longevity. Proven algorithms, 100% code-compatibility and a common user interface across the X-Series create a consistent measurement framework for signal analysis. This ensures repeatable results and measurement integrity, making it possible for engineers to leverage their test system software through all phases of product development.
