Agilent MXE X-Series EMI receiver enhanced options

Agilent Technologies has announced two options for its MXE X-Series electromagnetic interference receiver: 44 GHz frequency range and time-domain scans. With these capabilities, the MXE continues to address current and emerging customer needs in electromagnetic compliance (EMC) testing.

When configured with 44 GHz frequency coverage, the MXE is a single instrument that meets the requirements for compliance testing according to standards such as MIL-STD-461F and FCC Part 15. The extended frequency range also applies to the MXE family’s powerful diagnostic capabilities, which can be used to identify the sources of unwanted emissions.

Time-domain scans significantly reduce the time needed to produce a list of suspect emissions prior to final measurements. This capability is becoming widely used in the automotive industry.

Agilent also announced three capabilities that are now included with every MXE: live-spectrum and meter displays; amplitude probability distribution; and control for external line impedance stabilisation networks.
