Keysight Technologies has launched its next-generation network analyzers, available now in benchtop, USB and PXI form factors. This new generation delivers reliability and repeatability with best-in-class dynamic range, trace noise, temperature stability and a wide range of software applications enabling engineers to fully characterize devices.
The E5080B, P50xxA Series and M980xA series of network analyzers combine built-in pulse generators and modulators, spectrum analyzers and time domain analysis in a single instrument, enabling devices to be fully characterized without additional test hardware.
The new analyzers include the following measurement application software:
- Automatic fixture removal.
- Time domain analysis.
- Basic pulsed-RF measurements.
- Scalar mixer/converter measurements.
- Gain compression measurements.
- Spectrum analysis.
The capabilities of these new analyzers enable users to:
- Simplify test setups, which can be quickly reconfigured and calibrated.
- Accelerate test times and improve throughput with a simple, easily automated setup.
- Customize hardware for future test requirements.
- Enhance accuracy by eliminating loss from extra connections and external switches.
- Reduce the number of parts in a test setup, minimizing maintenance costs and downtime.
"Keysight understands the unique challenges engineers face when testing components that require a wide variety of measurements, such as multiple-input multiple-output antennas used in wireless or radio applications. Keysight's new network analyzers deliver the core functionality needed for engineers to perform the required variety of measurements via a single instrument." — Joe Rickert, vice president of high frequency measurement R&D at Keysight Technologies
