Agilent high frequency VSG VSA modules | Test and Measurement News

Sep.4,2013
Agilent Technologies introduces new high frequency modules in collboration with Virginia Diodes Inc. to extend the frequency range of its VSG(Vector Signal Generator) and VSA(Vector Signal Analyzer).This helps in testing millimeter frequencies upto 1.1 THz, which is useful for 5G and IEEE 802.11ad based devices.

At high frequencies it is required to support higher modulation BW and measurement will become more complex. Agilent's VSG/VSA along with VDI modules from Virginia Diodes Inc.address this need.

Silent features of VDI modules:
•  High performance and extended dynamic range
•  Higher output power using signal generator
•  Signal Analyzer Reduction in conversion loss & increase in sensitivity.
