Peak-power analyzer boasts accuracy, fast rise and fall times

摘要

Agilent has announced the 8990B peak-power analyzer, which, according to the company, offers the highest measurement speed and greatest measurement accuracy in pulse-peak-power analysis for aerospace, defense, and wireless applications. The N1923A and N1924A wideband power sensors complement the 8990B. The N1923A and N1924A cover frequency ranges of 50 MHz to 18 GHz and 50 MHz to 40 GHz, respectively. With either sensor, the 8990B achieves 5-nsec rise/fall times-according to Agilent, the shortest overall rise/ fall times among all such instruments—for measuring and analyzing RF pulses. Offering ease of use and high performance, the 8990B comes with a 15-in.-diagonal, 1024x768-pixel XGA (extended-graphics array) color touchscreen that simultaneously displays four-channel results for maximum image detail.
