Next Generation VSA software
Agilent's next generation of 89600 vector signal analysis is a window into what's happening inside complex wireless devices. The software features like 20:20 trace/marker capability providing 20 traces with 20 markers each, provide views of virtually every facet of a problem, helping R&D engineers see the "why?" New troubleshooting features to help engineers find the root cause of a problem, include VSA digital persistence trace for viewing bursts and transients that occur on a regular basis, and a cumulative history trace for evaluating spurs, transients and bursts that occur intermittently or at very long intervals. For LTE TDD a new antenna pattern trace evaluates the nulls and lobes of beam forming signals before they go to the transmitters. A new flexible OFDM option provides architects of custom OFDM signals a way to test the performance of their new signal with high performance OFDM evaluation tools.

Ultra-low Phase Noise for PSG Signal Generators
Agilent has developed a new Option UNY for enhanced ultra-low phase noise for the PSG high-performance signal generators. Compared to the existing low phase noise, Option UNX, Option UNY provides a 5 dB improvement at very close in (< 10 Hz) offsets and up to 12 dB improvement in the pedestal region (10 to 100 kHz offsets). Low phase noise sources are especially useful for a wide range of applications, including use as a reference source in phase noise test systems, LO substitution in advanced radar system development and demanding receiver measurements of adjacent channel performance and blocking tests. To further tailor the PSG's performance for different applications, Option UNY offers two optimization modes.

PLL Synthesizer
This new phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizer is designed for a variety of applications, including microwave point-to-point systems, private mobile radio (PMR), very small aperture terminals (VSAT), test and instrumentation equipment, and aerospace systems. The ADF4150HV 4.4 GHz fractional-N or integer-N PLL synthesizer features a 30 V charge pump. A charge pump capable of 30 V drive level represents the highest voltage IC PLL charge pump available on the market today. Because the device can be used to directly drive high tuning-voltage external voltage controlled oscillators (VCO), it removes the need for active loop filters, thereby simplifying system design, improving performance and reducing bill of materials cost.

RF Probe
With the new series HFS-865 from INGUN also signals in the microwave range can be detected or applied – due to the fact that this probe provides very good signal transfer characteristics at frequencies as high as 12 GHz. Excellent return loss and transmission characteristics guarantee reliable signal detection. In combination with the MMPX Cable Assembly you get a unique solution for the whole measurement path. Further advantages are very homogeneous impedance characteristics and the fact that the number of dielectric parts could be reduced dramatically. Long airline structures inside the Probe enhance the capability of transmitting highest frequency signals. Also the precision MMPX – input interface from INGUN's partner Huber+Suhner plays a vital role in achieving such good RF characteristics.

Non-reinforced Microwave Substrate
Taclamplus is a cost-effective, non-reinforced microwave substrate of typically 100 micron thickness that can be used to create very low-loss structures both with single dielectric layers and multiple layers. Exceptional copper-foil adhesion allows small-feature resolution. Its unique composition of the dielectric, basically the absence of any glass in the substrate material, facilitates clean laser ablation for micro-via and component-cavity formation. The use of metal-plate such as 1 mm copper helps maintain dimensional stability and provides a sound ground plane and heat-sink. Features include: > 40 GHz no packaged MMICs; designers need to use MMIC die and wirebonds; dies need to be placed in cavities to keep wires short as possible; and substrate losses need to be the lowest.
