Agilent FieldFox analyser pulse measurement option

Agilent’s FieldFox analysers with the pulse-measurement option enable users to carry a single instrument into the field to verify and measure radar pulse characteristics, S-parameters, spectrum analysis and transmitter power.

The FieldFox pulse measurement option efficiently characterises radar signal quality by leveraging Agilent U202x peak-power sensors (available in 18 and 40 GHz models). Working together, the pulse measurement mode and U202x enable maintenance crews to check radar signal quality without having to carry a heavy benchtop instrument into the field. With a single push of a button, users can perform pulse characterisation in the field and obtain all key performance indicators.

The FieldFox calibration engine features ECal module support, reducing calibration time and the need to make multiple connections during testing. FieldFox analysers also boast a number of features that help simplify radar field testing, including: InstAlign, a built-in spectrum analyser with time gating (Option 238); burst trigger and pre-trigger; and verification of most RF pulse transmitters in the field.
