Agilent launches products for Indian A&D market

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Agilent Technologies, a manufacturer of electronic and bio-analytical measurement instruments and equipment, on Saturday said it has launched seven new products and solutions for the Indian Aerospace and Defense segment.

The solutions were launched at their global annual trade mark event ‘Aerospace and Defense Symposium 2011’, which targets the fast growing Aerospace & Defense Market in India, said a press release.

“The symposium has great significance in today’s times as India is putting substantial investments in advancing their indigenous capabilities in the strategic areas of Aerospace & Defense, the sector which now has the attention of the large US & European Aerospace Giants and large Indian Corporate alike’, said Arun Dogra, country manager and VP- Sales, Marketing & Support, EMG- Agilent.

Aerospace & Defense Symposium, 2011, is attended by the elite engineering corporations and the scientist fraternity working on the cutting-edge technology space of Electronic Warfare, Radars and Satellites & Surveillance.

The event is being supported by IEEE Aerospace & Electronics System Society - the world’s largest professional association for advancement of technology.

The newly launched products and solutions from Agilent are:

1. Arbitrary Waveform Generator (M8190A): The M8190A arbitrary waveform generator can deliver simultaneous high resolution and wide bandwidth along with spurious-free dynamic range and very low harmonic distortion. This functionality allows radar, satellite and electronic warfare device designers to make reliable, repeatable measurements and create highly realistic signal scenarios to test their products.

2. Peak Power Analyzer (8990B): The new 8990B, a peak power analyzer, offers faster measurement speed and greater measurement accuracy in peak power-pulse analysis for the aerospace, defense and wireless markets. It is equipped with fast sampling rate which enables the R&D engineers to get the high resolution they need to detect abnormalities in a signal trace for design improvement.

3. Vector Signal Analysis Software (89600B): The new 89600B software provides R&D engineers performing signal and modulation analysis with a window into what’s happening inside their complex wireless devices. With views of virtually every facet of a signal, the VSA tool lets designers see the 'why' behind signal interactions, making it is easier and faster to find and fix their toughest signal problems.

4. LTE-Advanced Signal Generation, Analysis Solutions: LTE-Advanced is initially being specified as part of Release 10 of the 3GPP specification. A number of new technologies are being introduced into LTE-Advanced to enable peak data rates of up to 1 Gbps in the downlink and 500 Mbps in the uplink. To achieve such as high peak data rate, LTE-Advanced supports a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz via aggregating up to five component carriers, each up to 20 MHz wide. The product provides good capability for engineers in Aerospace & Defense R&D and Military Communications.

5. EMI Receiver: The N9038A MXE EMI receiver is designed for laboratories that perform compliance testing of electrical and electronic products. The MXE enhances electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurement accuracy and repeatability with a displayed average noise level (DANL) of -163 dBm at 1 GHz. This represents excellent input sensitivity, an essential receiver, attribute that reduces the effects of electrical noise. The product is a great new introduction for engineers developing products that require EMI/EMC Compliance to CISPR and Military standards.

6. Microwave Handheld Spectrum Analyzers: The N9344C and N9343C hand-held spectrum analyzers (HSA), two field-ready instruments designed for technicians and engineers who install, maintain and troubleshoot RF/microwave systems, monitor the spectrum or manage interference in the field. The new analyzers make field testing easier by providing the performance of a benchtop instrument in a handheld device, along with a range of functionality for ensuring field-ready operation and automating routine tasks. The product finds good use with the field units of the Defense Services.

7. Millimeter-Wave Signal Analyzer: The PXA signal analyzer is a millimeter-wave signal analyzer, covering frequencies up to 50 GHz. With external mixing, it can cover 325 GHz and beyond.
