Analyser exercises PCI Express protocols
Agilent Technologies has introduced the industry's first complete and integrated x1 to x16 protocol analyser and exerciser solution for PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0.
The Agilent N5183A MXG is an economy-class continuous-wave (CW) signal generator specifically designed to maximise uptime and reduce cost of ownership.
Its 900us (maximum) switching speed enables a dramatic increase in throughput.
A simple design delivers easy self-maintenance that reduces downtime to one working day, making it possible for users to maintain or repair the instrument in-house.
Not only does this capability maximise uptime, it also drives a lower cost of ownership.
With +18dBm to 20GHz output power, the Agilent N5183A MXG is able to overcome losses and drive high-power devices.
Additionally, it features a level accuracy, with optional step attenuator, of +/-0.6 to 0.8dB.
Other options to the Agilent N5183A MXG include analogue modulation and pulse modulation - all housed in a compact 2U package.
"Fast switching speed and lower cost of ownership are key requirements for today's broadband component manufacturing and R and D engineers", says Andy Botka, Vice President of Agilent's Signal Sources Division.
"With its available options and price/performance flexibility, the new Agilent N5183A MXG provides users with the capabilities they need to address these issues, while staying ahead of their competition".
Agilent's N5183A MXG offers a viable replacement to legacy HP/Agilent signal generators.
It is programming compatible with the 8340, 8360 and 8370 Series signal generators as well as the ESG, PSG and 8662A/8663A solutions.
Pricing begins at US $18,000.
