Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced new functional test features for its E6621A PXT wireless communications test set. Used in conjunction with Agilent's popular E5515C 8960 wireless communications test set, the PXT now supports handover between different radio access technologies (RAT).

The new R&S TS6710 test system from Rohde & Schwarz is a highly flexible, turnkey standard solution for manufacturers of AESA radar equipment. New system can characterize the 25,000 measurement results of a transmitter-receiver module (TRM) in less than four minutes. The frequency range extends from 1 Hz to 24 GHz.

Two new families InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-Series offer 26 models, including entry-level mixed-signal oscilloscope and integrated function generator.

New option for AWG7000C delivers industry’s only commercial solution for creating wide modulation bandwidth and improved rise/fall time bandwidth all at a lower price.

With the addition of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator to the field-proven R&S SMBV100A this flexible, multi-purpose vector signal generator can now generate customized scenarios for GPS and Galileo from up to 12 satellites in realtime. Users can quickly and easily define their own scenarios to test GNSS receivers under a variety of conditions.

Enhancements extend predictive diagnostic management to motor control centres, drives, and other high value assets through the DeltaV™ digital automation system.

The Agilent 81160A pulse function arbitrary noise generator provides innovative functionality and streamlined setup to help engineers complete a broader test set more quickly.

Engineers ñan program HMIs with NI LabVIEW for flexible, simplified application deployment. The NI TPC-2206 and TPC-2212 feature a -20 to 60° C operating temperature range for harsh industrial applications, 4 GB solid state drives for reliable operation in extended vibration environments and Windows Embedded OS for long-term deployment and support.

Keithley Instruments, Inc., a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, will broadcast a free webinar on "Hall Effect Measurement Fundamentals" on Thursday, February 17, 2011.

This award follows the announcement of 46 new PXI and AXIe modular products in September 2010 during Autotestcon in Florida, and the acceptance of Agilent onto the board of directors of the PXI Systems Alliance.
