Agilent Technologies enhances MXE Receiver with New Features

Agilent Technologies has announced two new options for its MXE X-Series electromagnetic interference receiver: 44-GHz frequency range and time-domain scans. With the addition of these capabilities, the MXE will continue to address current and emerging customer needs in electromagnetic compliance (EMC) testing.
 
When configured with 44-GHz frequency coverage, the MXE is a single instrument that meets the requirements for compliance testing according to standards such as MIL-STD-461F and FCC Part 15. The extended frequency range also applies to the MXE family’s powerful diagnostic capabilities, which can be used to identify the sources of unwanted emissions.
 
The upgradeable MXE provides the functionality and reliability needed to keep EMC test queues flowing in military and commercial applications. With the options announced today, the MXE gives compliance engineers a cost-effective alternative for compliance testing and diagnostic measurements in the lab and on the bench, said Andy Botka, Vice-President & GM, Agilent’s Microwave Communications Division.
 
Agilent has also announced three capabilities that are now included with every MX, including Monitor spectrum, Amplitude probability distribution and Control for external line impedance stabilization networks.
