Telecom test and measurement (T&M) vendor Agilent Technologies today introduced its Infiniium Z-Series oscilloscopes, which can be synchronized to measure up to 40 channels simultaneously with a maximum 63-GHz real-time oscilloscope bandwidth.
The new oscilloscopes enable engineers to test devices that incorporate the newest technologies and achieve new performance milestones.
Agilent Technologies said the Z-Series includes 10 models ranging from 20 to 63 GHz, all of which are bandwidth-upgradable to 63 GHz. The Z-Series also features faster processing and better user interface. The company does not share specific details on processing speed and benefits to users.
Jay Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent’s Oscilloscope and Protocol Division, said: “With its processing power and new user interface, the new series helps engineers bring products using emerging technologies to market significantly faster.”
The Z-Series leverages key technologies used in the 90000 Q-Series oscilloscopes. They include RealEdge technology, which comprises microcircuits/thin-film components, and application of Agilent’s indium phosphide semiconductor process. RealEdge enables high-frequency capability while maintaining low noise and jitter measurement floors (75 fs).
These new oscilloscopes allow engineers to benefit from Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes’ hardware and software advancements.
Customers who have previously purchased the 90000 Q-Series can upgrade their units to Z-Series performance by ordering the N2105A and N2109A upgrade kits.
