50 GHz handheld combination analysers

25 November 2015 Test & Measurement

Keysight Technologies added six millimetre-wave models to its family of FieldFox handheld analysers, with the flagship model being the industry’s first handheld combination analyser to provide coverage to 50 GHz. With extensive built-in capabilities, FieldFox can replace three or four single-function instruments – benchtop or handheld – that are typically used for maintenance and troubleshooting of systems that operate at or above Ka-band frequencies.

The lightweight instruments deliver laboratory-grade measurements that enable field personnel to fully characterise today’s most demanding radar and satellite systems. Three combination-analyser models cover 32, 44 or 50 GHz and provide spectrum analysis, vector network analysis and cable and antenna testing in a rugged, portable unit. The three spectrum analyser models cover the same frequency range.

The FieldFox family is optimised for field testing. The fully sealed enclosure with no fans or vents is compliant with US MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 standards and is also type tested to meet MIL-STD-810G requirements for operation in explosive environments. They are also type tested to meet IEC/EN 60529 IP53 requirements for protection from dust and water.

The analysers offer a broad array of functionality that is software upgradeable, enabling users to choose the capabilities they need initially and add others later. Examples include vector voltmeter, TDR cable measurements, built-in power meter, pulse measurements, spectrum analyser time gating, interference analyser (with spectrogram) and GPS receiver.
