AGILENT Technologies has released a new wireless connectivity test set and multiport adapter to help wireless device makers quickly and accurately test a spectrum of wireless technologies.
The integrated one-box solution allows tests of 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN, Bluetooth 1.0 to 4.0, and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) technologies.
The instrument is based off PXI-based hardware architecture and Agilent’s own measurement software architecture. The company has also leveraged its multiport adapter design to deliver unique and flexible manufacturing test-port density for maximum throughput.
Key features of Agilent's new E6630A wireless connectivity test set include:
- Supports multiple wireless connectivity formats: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN, Bluetooth 1.0 to 4.0, and GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, etc.)
- Streamlines the transition from product introduction to mass production with standards-based wireless connectivity calibration and verification testing based on proven Agilent X-Series applications measurement science.
- Delivers fast and accurate measurements with the latest PXI hardware architecture, featuring up to two sets of source and analyzer pairs.
- Keeps pace with the latest WLAN chipsets via Agilent's Manufacturing Test Integration program to facilitate integration into chipset vendors' manufacturing test tools.
Key features of the E6618A multiport adapter include:
- Seamlessly extends the test plane to as many as eight RFIOs and four GNSS outputs.
- Supports real-time port balancing for metric-grade power accuracy.
- Enables parallel test flows to increase throughput.
