Agilent launches application-specific test solutions

14 May 2014 News Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies unveiled a new concept combining hardware, software and measurement expertise that delivers the essential components of electronic test systems. What the company is calling ‘Reference Solutions’ include utilities such as example program source code – highly optimised for specific applications – which show users how to get the most out of their test system.

Agilent believes that this platform not only enables quick evaluation of a test solution for specific applications but also dramatically reduces the time it takes to integrate a new test system into a test environment.

The first reference solution is an RF power amplifier (PA) manufacturing test solution with envelope tracking capability. It includes a graphical user interface program for easy solution evaluation, example source code optimised for speed, extremely fast modulation analysis, and excellent accuracy and measurement repeatability.

The RF PA reference solution is built around the M9391A PXIe VSA and the M9381A PXIe VSG. It uses measurement software that provides consistency with Agilent benchtop signal generation and analysis instruments. The solution supports the testing of devices that use envelope tracking for improved power efficiency by including the E33522B waveform generator, which is synchronised to the M9381A VSG.
