Keysight Technologies FieldFox 50 GHz handheld analysers

Keysight Technologies has added six millimetre-wave models to its family of FieldFox handheld analysers, which have been optimised for field testing.

The handheld analysers provide coverage to 50 GHz and have built-in capabilities which can replace three or four single-function instruments (benchtop or handheld) typically used for maintenance and troubleshooting of systems that operate at or above Ka-band frequencies. The lightweight analysers weigh just over 3 kg and deliver laboratory-grade measurements that enable field personnel to fully characterise demanding radar and satellite systems.

Three combination-analyser models cover 32, 44 or 50 GHz and provide spectrum analysis, vector network analysis and cable and antenna testing in a rugged, portable unit, while the three spectrum analyser models cover the same frequency range. The fully sealed enclosure (no fans or vents) is compliant with US MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 standards and is also type tested to meet MIL-STD-810G requirements for operation in explosive environments (Method 511.5, Procedure 1).
