Along with configurable measurements for rise time, fall time, and pulse period, series provides automatic pulse period, PRI, and PRF measurements. Respectively, N1911A and N1912A are single- and dual-channel power meters, while N1921A and N1922A are 18 and 40 GHz wideband power sensors.
Original Press Release:
Agilent Technologies Adds CCDF Statistical Analysis, User-Configurable Measurements to P-Series Power Meter
Product Offers Widest Bandwidth, Shortest Measurement Time, Fastest CCDF Measurement Speed in Price Range
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 2, 2006 -- Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced its improved P-Series power meter, adding new capabilities while retaining its original low cost. The Agilent N1911/12A P-Series power meter provides the widest bandwidth (40 MHz), shortest measurement time and fastest CCDF measurement speed in its price range.
The P-series power meter now offers Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) statistical analysis, sensor backward-compatibility and user-configurable measurements, with added automatic PRI and PRF measurements. The Agilent P-Series power meters and sensors provide accurate and repeatable wide-bandwidth peak power measurements for the aerospace and defense, wireless, and communications markets at an affordable price.
"Feedback from our customers shows that they have been pleased with the original P-series power meter and its wide bandwidth," said Ee Huei Sin, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Basic Instruments Division. "Our improved version makes us well placed to accommodate wide-bandwidth power measurement requirements crucial to the R&D and manufacturing sectors."
The Agilent N1911/12A P-series power meter's new features include:
o CCDF statistical analysis in tabular format -- a high-speed, low-cost CCDF measurement solution.
o Sensor backward compatibility -- compatible with the Agilent 8480, E441xA and E9300 series, providing more choices in switching between sensors, protecting customer investment.
o User-configurable rise time, fall time and pulse period measurements, providing measurement flexibility for all kinds of measurement signals and applications.
o Automatic pulse period, PRI and PRF measurements provide the key measurement parameters customers need.
The P-series power meter is part of the Agilent Open program, which ensures industry-standards-based open connectivity in hardware and software.
