Telecom Lead America: Agilent Technologies has
launched five new mid-range N523xA PNA-L vector network
analyzer models.
These new analyzers offer highest performance up to 50
GHz in a mid-range VNA to design and manufacturing engineers.
The models feature both increased measurement range and
speed for faster frequency switching. Additionally, the models offer an
improved user interface with a 24 percent bigger display.
Replacing existing N5230C models, Agilent’s new N523xA
PNA-L vector network analyzers are available in five frequency models, starting
at 300 kHz, with two or four ports available for the 13.5- and 20-GHz models,
and two ports available for the 8.5-, 43.5- and 50-GHz products.
The PNA family includes the PNA-L, PNA and
PNA-X Series, covering frequencies from 300 kHz to 1.05 THz. The new models use
the Agilent PNA-X’s components, including the CPU and display.
Sharing a common hardware platform allows the PNA-L to
realize continuous performance improvements as the PNA-X hardware improves.
These PNA-L models are capable to run applications on the
PNA-X platform on gain compression and fast continuous wave mode.
The company claims that the PNA is the world’s highest
performing vector network analyzer and is designed for general-purpose network
analysis.
On the other hand, the PNA-X provides complete linear and
nonlinear component characterization in a single instrument with a single
connection.
The new PNA-L models are well suited for a range of
applications, including S-parameters of passive components and simple active
device measurements of amplifier and frequency converters.
These PNA-L vector network analyzers (N523XA) are
available now, starting at $48,000.
Agilent Technologies launches dual-channel PXI vector signal
analyzer
Recently, Agilent launched dual-channel PXI vector signal
analyzer, which is available in a single-channel configuration for $66,235 and
a dual-channel configuration for $132,470.
