Global electronic test and measurements leader, Agilent Technologies, recently hosted its annual Aerospace and Defence Symposium in Delhi -- and unveiled a slew of products for the strategic electronics segment. “As India is putting substantial investments into building its indigenous capabilities in the strategic areas of Aerospace & Defence, the sector now has the attention of the large US & European Aerospace Giants and large Indian Corporate alike’, said Arun Dogra, Country Manager and Vice President, Sales, Marketing & Support, EMG, Agilent Technologies . The event was supported by IEEE Aerospace & Electronics System Society , the world’s largest professional association for the advancement of technology.
Among the new products & solutions launched were:
Arbitrary Waveform Generator (M8190A), which can deliver simultaneous high resolution and wide bandwidth along with spurious-free dynamic range and very low harmonic distortion. This allows radar, satellite and electronic warfare device designers to make reliable, repeatable measurements and create highly realistic signal scenarios to test their products.
Peak Power Analyzer (8990B) which offers faster measurement speed and greater measurement accuracy in peak power-pulse analysis for the aerospace, defence and wireless markets. The 8990B boasts a fast sampling rate which enables the R&D engineers to get the high resolution they need to detect abnormalities in a signal trace for design improvement.
Vector Signal Analysis Software (89600B) for R&D engineers performing signal and modulation analysis with a window into what’s happening inside their complex wireless devices. The VSA tool lets designers see the “why” behind signal interactions, making it easier and faster to find and fix their toughest signal problems.
LTE-Advanced Signal Generation, Analysis Solutions, specified as part of Release 10 of the 3GPP specification. A number of new technologies are being introduced into LTE-Advanced to enable peak data rates of up to 1 GBPS in the downlink and500 Mbps in the uplink. The LTE-Advanced signal generator, supports a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz via aggregating up to five component carriers, each up to 20 MHz wide.
N9038A MXE EMI Receiver designed for laboratories that perform compliance testing of electrical and electronic products. The MXE enhances electro-magnetic interference (EMI) measurement accuracy and repeatability with a displayed average noise level (DANL) of -163 dBM at 1 GHz.
N9344C and N9343C handheld Microwave spectrum analyzers (HSA), two field-ready instruments designed for technicians and engineers who install, maintain and troubleshoot RF/microwave systems, monitor the spectrum or manage interference in the field.
PXA Millimetre-Wave signal analyzer is now the industry’s highest performance millimetre-wave signal analyzer, covering frequencies up to 50 GHz. With external mixing, it can cover 325 GHz and beyond.
In India, Agilent has recently been selected as "TopTest & Measurement Company of the Year 2011" by Voice &Data. Magazine . July 5 2011
