Test & Measurement<br />
Agilent Technologies Announced Industry‘s Highest-<br />
Performance Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers<br />
In addition to its high sensitivity<br />
of -157 dBm at 10 GHz (no<br />
preamp), the PXA also provides<br />
the ability to vary the resolution<br />
bandwidth within a measurement<br />
span. With this combination of<br />
capabilities, users are better able<br />
to resolve closely spaced signals,<br />
identify intermittent low-level<br />
signals and further improve POI.<br />
Agilent Technologies Inc.<br />
announced the availability of<br />
real-time spectrum analysis<br />
(RTSA) for its PXA X-Series<br />
signal analyzers. Agilent‘s RTSA<br />
delivers unmatched probability<br />
of intercept (POI), analysis bandwidth,<br />
sensitivity, and frequency<br />
range-capabilities that make it<br />
the best way for system developers<br />
and signal analysts to see,<br />
capture and understand highly<br />
elusive signals. In applications<br />
such as radar, electronic warfare<br />
and military communications,<br />
POI is the key benchmark<br />
for RTSA. When configured for<br />
real-time spectrum analysis, the<br />
PXA can detect intermittent<br />
signals with durations as short<br />
as 3.57 µs, which is the best<br />
POI currently available. To help<br />
detect more signals in less time,<br />
Agilent‘s real-time PXA provides<br />
an industry-leading 75-dB<br />
spurious-free dynamic range<br />
across analysis bandwidths of<br />
up to 160 MHz.<br />
This enables users to place deep<br />
and wide measurements anywhere<br />
within a measurement<br />
range of 50 GHz.<br />
For deeper analysis and thorough<br />
characterization of complex<br />
signals, a real-time PXA<br />
seamlessly integrates with Agilent<br />
89600 VSA software. This<br />
combination of capabilities enables<br />
users to find the root cause<br />
of signal problems with advanced<br />
troubleshooting tools that<br />
support measurements in the<br />
time, frequency and modulation<br />
domains. The software also<br />
provides connections to Agilent<br />
instruments such as vector signal<br />
generators and arbitrary waveform<br />
generators to play back<br />
captured signals as inputs to a<br />
device under test.<br />
