Agilent Technologies Announces Industry’s First 160-MHz Signal Analyzer for Wide Bandwidth Signal Analysis
Communiqué de presse de AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES 
Signal Generation Software for 802.11ac WLAN Signals Completes Solution Set Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:
A) today introduced two solutions for analysis and generation of wide
bandwidth signals. The solutions include the industry’s first 160-MHz
analysis bandwidth option for the high-performance PXA signal analyzer and Signal Studio software for 802.11ac signal creation. “The
PXA’s 160-MHz bandwidth enables the wider bandwidth signal analysis
that today’s engineers demand,” said Guy Séné, vice president and
general manager of Agilent’s Microwave and Communications Division.
“Technologies such as the emerging 802.11ac WLAN standard present new
design and test challenges for both device developers and manufacturers.
We address those challenges with our new solutions for signal analysis
using the PXA and signal generation software for 802.11ac. They provide
industry-leading performance and features that enable engineers to
quickly verify and troubleshoot their next-generation WLAN devices and
improve their time-to-market.” Enabling Wide Bandwidth Signal Analysis Wider
bandwidth signal analysis, up to 160 MHz, is necessary to cover all of
the bandwidths supported by 802.11ac. Agilent’s PXA signal analyzer with
160-MHz bandwidth addresses this need, as well as any other application
that requires engineers to analyze wider bandwidth signals. Its
advanced performance provides valuable insight that helps speed the
design, verification and troubleshooting of current and future 802.11ac
devices. Moreover, when combined with the 89600 VSA software’s 802.11ac modulation analysis, the PXA enables high-performance, comprehensive analysis of 802.11ac signals. Enabling 802.11ac Signal Generation A
critical step in testing any 802.11 device is to generate
standard-compliant 802.11ac test signals. Agilent’s Signal Studio for
WLAN software aids this task by enabling the creation of 802.11ac
waveforms with BCC or LDPC channel coding, all MCS codes, and single- or
multi-user MIMO up to four streams. Generation of up to 80-MHz
bandwidth signals are supported with Agilent’s ESG, MXG or PSG vector
signal generators and the PXB baseband generator and channel emulator;
160-MHz bandwidth signal generation is possible with support from two
Agilent vector signal generators. Agilent
will demonstrate the PXA’s new wider bandwidth and Signal Studio, along
with other products and services for wireless communication, at European Microwave Week (Stand G301), Oct. 11-13 at Manchester Central in Manchester, England.
