Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced the 81180A arbitrary waveform generator, a new generation of instrument that bridges the trade-off between bandwidth and bits. The 81180A is a new class of instrument, an arbitrary waveform generator that provides greater bandwidth and higher resolution.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced Genesys 2010, a new release of its industry leading, low cost, high-performance RF/microwave design software. The software, used by circuit board and subsystem designers, now includes breakthrough nonlinear X-parameter simulation and modeling technology. This enables the most accurate and convenient RF nonlinear circuit and system designs.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) introduced the Infiniium 90000 X-Series oscilloscope family with industry-leading, real-time bandwidth of 32 GHz. Ten new models range from 16 GHz to 32 GHz and are bandwidth upgradable. These new scopes deliver the lowest noise and have the lowest jitter measurement floor in the industry, ensuring superior measurement accuracy.

New Power Meter provides high-quality portable power measurements for quality-conscious, cost-sensitive customers. The palm-sized V3500A is the first handheld power meter from Agilent and is specially designed to simplify field tasks and provide all typical power measurements while ensuring lower startup costs.

The staff of Test & Measurement World announced the winners of annual Test of Time award, which honors a product that continues to provide state-of-the-art service five or more years after its introduction, were named seven finalists. Test & Measurement World readers voted Agilent Technologies’ 89600 Vector Signal Analysis Software as the recipient of the 2010 award.

Agilent Technologies Inc. added 14 new models to its InfiniiVision 7000 Series mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio. These new scopes offer bandwidths from 100 MHz up to 1 GHz. In addition to traditional analog signal representation, the scopes provide digital signal capture and serial bus triggering and decode. Custom integrated circuits deliver hardware-accelerated operation and put up to 100,000 waveforms on screen each second to help designers capture rich signal detail and intermittent events.

Agilent Technologies introduced the Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) application software option for the Agilent E5071C ENA network analyzer. The combined E5071C and TDR application software make the ideal one-box solution for high-speed serial interconnect analysis. The one-box solution is used by signal integrity engineers who require efficient design and verification in R&D, quality assurance and manufacturing.

Agilent Technologies introduced the N9923A FieldFox RF Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) -- the world's most accurate handheld VNA. The FieldFox RF VNA provides the best measurement stability in the industry, 0.01 dB/degree Celsius, and offers the world's first integrated QuickCal calibration capability available in a handheld VNA. QuickCal enables consistent measurement results and confidence in the data while eliminating the need to carry a calibration kit into the field.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced breakthrough functionality in next-generation, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes with the successful turn-on of a front-end chipset that uses indium phosphide (InP) technology. The new chipset will enable the company to deliver oscilloscopes in the first half of 2010 that offer true analog bandwidths greater than 16 GHz.

Agilent Technologies Inc. and Nexus Technology Inc. today made available DDR3-1867 DIMM and DDR3-1600 SODIMM slot interposer test solutions. These test solutions are the ideal tools for designers performing DDR3 DIMM or SODIMM validation, failure analysis, and bus functional-parametric validation in servers, supercomputing, desktops, laptops and computing applications.
