How To Debug Dead Boards In Production
ASSET InterTech have today announced the introduction of a new eBook that will help circuit board manufacturers who want to recover their investment in assembled boards that won’t boot – so called dead boards – and still maintain the tight production deadlines that constantly reduce the time they can spend on board debug.
300MHz HDMI Module Enhances Video Tester Performance
Manufacturers and test houses can now use the R&S VTC and R&S VTE video testers from Rohde & Schwarz to test next-generation HDMI sink devices with ultra-HD or 4k screen resolution. This is possible thanks to the new R&S VT-B360 HDMI TX 300 MHz HDMI module, which is equipped with four parallel HDMI channels with ultra-HD resolution.
MACOM’s RoadScape Technology Allows Vehicles to Predict the Future
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc today introduced RoadScape at the Telematics Detroit Show in Novi, Michigan. RoadScape, MACOM’s innovative technology, provides highly accurate position, direction, and time information, enabling a new era of location and situational awareness for the automotive and transportation industry – allowing industrial and commercial vehicles to “predict the future.”
Agilent Technologies' FieldFox Analyzers Can Now Be Remotely Controlled via Apple iOS Devices
Agilent Technologies today announced that its FieldFox handheld analyzers can now be remotely controlled via an iOS device such as an iPad or iPhone. Also new are a spectrum analysis time-gating option and support for Agilent's USB peak-power sensors.
Signal Analyser Upgrade Lifts Analysis Bandwidth to 160MHz
Agilent Technologies has enhanced its midrange N9020A MXA X-Series signal analyser. New options for 160MHz analysis bandwidth and real-time spectrum analyser (RTSA) capability address the challenges of measuring interference in the next generation of heterogeneous wireless networks. The options can be included in new MXAs or added to existing units.
Mid-Range Vector Network Analysers Cover 100KHz to 40GHz
Rhode & Schwarz has launched the mid-range R&S ZNB20 and R&S ZNB40 vector network analysers for frequency ranges from 100 kHz to 20 GHz and from 1 MHz to 40GHz. The analysers are equipped with two test ports and offer measurement characteristics that are on a similar level as high-end instruments.
Semiconductor Device Analyser Enhancements Speed Pulse Measurement
Agilent Technologies has unveiled source/monitor unit (SMU) and software enhancements to its B1500A semiconductor device analyser. The B1514A 50µs pulse medium-current SMU gives a faster pulse at 30V/1A range plus oscilloscope-like viewing. The B1511B medium-power SMU delivers 0.1fA low-current measurement capability at a lower price with an optional atto-sense switch unit.
Rohde & Schwarz adds models up to 20 GHz and 40 GHz to its R&S ZNB network analyzer family
More dynamic range and measurement speed in the microwave range: The new R&S ZNB20 and R&S ZNB40 network analyzers now offer these features in the midrange price segment as well. Like all models in the R&S ZNB family, their compact hardware platform requires less space than similar instruments.
Measurement Option Upgrades Spectrum Analyser to Real-Time Operation
A new measurement option from Rohde & Schwarz for the R&S FSW high-end signal and spectrum analyser supports real-time signal analysis for frequencies up to 50 GHz with an analysis bandwidth of 160 MHz. It enables the detection of interfering signals to the exact level and without gaps, using a single, fast measuring instrument.
