E5052A signal source analyser
26 October, 2004Agilent has introduced a class of instrument that can evaluate the critical performance characteristics of nearly all types of RF and microwave signal sources. The E5052A signal source analyser (SSA) replaces a large, complex rack of test equipment with a single instrument that speeds measurement times by a factor of 10.
Identifying an interferer by the characteristics of its signal
11 October, 2004In the last of a three-part series on interference in wireless systems, we look at all the different types of potential interfering signals and how to identify them
Receiver for phase noise analyser
30 June, 2004Poseidon Scientific Instruments (PSI) has released the 5 MHz to 1 GHz receiver OR-102A for use with its ODIN-320A phase noise analyser. The receiver enables engineers to perform automated phase noise measurements at low frequencies on quartz crystal and surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillators. Moreover, the residual noise of amplifiers, or any two port device, can be automatically measured in combination with PSI's upcoming delay line device.
Continuous wave illuminator
30 June, 2004The CEA-MOUNT Illuminator is an active phased array Continuous Wave Illuminator (CWI) that integrates with ship combat systems to provide target illumination and missile uplink for semi-active homing missiles (SM-2/ESSM).
