Signal Generator
Agilent Technologies Inc. announces the availability of the Agilent
MXG signal generators, which offer adjacent channel power ratio performance and
switching speeds, coupled with simplified self-maintenance to maximize uptime.
These new analog and vector signal generators are appropriate for manufacturing
teams producing components and receivers for communications systems. The MXG signal
generators feature the adjacent channel leakage ration performance at -65 dBc
(-69 dBc measured) for a 4-carrier 3GPP W-CDMA signal and -71 dBC (-76 dBC measured)
for a single-carrier signal. This performance allows for greater test margins,
ensuring more accurate measurements and improved yield, and also makes the MXG
signal generators suited for characterizing high dynamic-range components such
as multi-carrier power amplifiers (MCPAs). The MXG signal generators also provides
fast switching speeds, enabling a increase in throughput. With SCPI programming,
the generators can make arbitrary switches in frequency and amplitude at ≤
1.2 ms -- at least two times faster than the nearest competitor. In list mode,
simultaneous switching of frequency, amplitude and waveforms takes place at ≤
900 µs.
