Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the addition of “several key enhancements” to its high-performance MXG and cost-effective EXG X-Series vector signal generators designed to ”improve measurement accuracy, accelerate research and development, and provide in-depth signal simulation for even the most comprehensive receiver verification.”
According to the company, “the enhanced MXG and EXG X-Series RF vector signal generators allow users to apply channel corrections directly to their fixtures and devices under test. A proprietary ASIC, in concert with an Agilent USB power sensor, enables automatic amplitude and phase flatness corrections or equalization. This industry-first capability is ideal for engineers working on WLAN 802.11ac or LTE-Advanced transceivers and components.”
In addition, “two new X-Series connectivity options enable realistic complex-modulated direct digital stimulus (output mode) and digital upconversion (input mode) using an N5102A digital signal interface module” and “the new N7620B Signal Studio software features RADAR verification tests designed to minimize field testing and provide accurate characterization.”
