Disturbance analysis now standard on MXE EMI receiver
Agilent Technologies has added disturbance analyser capabilities as a standard feature of its N9038A MXE EMI receiver. For those who need to make discontinuous-disturbance, or click, measurements, the MXE simplifies and automates data collection, analysis and report generation in accordance with CISPR standards 14-1 (emissions) and 16-1-1 (measurement apparatus and methods).
PCB test and debug event slated for June 18 in Cambridge
The ‘ElectroTestExpo’ consortium has revealed the dates for its regional PCB test and debug exhibitions to be held during 2014. Now enjoying its fifth consecutive year of free-to-attend events, ElectroTestExpo will commence its combination of drop-in tabletop exhibition and seminar on June 18th at one of the UK’s main electronics and research hubs – the Cambridge Science Park (the Trinity Centre).
Network analyser family bolstered by 8.5GHz model
Agilent Technologies has expanded its PNA-X family of network analysers with an 8.5 GHz model that more economically supports lower-frequency devices used in wireless communication applications (e.g., handsets, base stations, WLAN and other mobile communication devices). The new network analyser offers lower cost and frequency to bring advanced measurement capabilities to the cost-sensitive wireless communication device market.
