Basic Spectrum Analyzer

The N9322C Basic Spectrum Analyzer operates from 9 kHz to 7 GHz. Features include a typical -152-dBm DANL; ±0.1 ppm annual aging rate, which reduces frequency drift; one-button PowerSuite operation (CHP, OBW, ACPR, SEM, and spectrogram), which makes power measurements and signal monitoring simple and intuitive; an optional 7-GHz tracking generator with a built-in VSWR bridge, which supports transmission and reflection measurements; a demodulation mode to easily and cost-effectively gain more insight into AM, FM, ASK, and FSK signal analysis; and user-definable soft keys, which provide access to seven of the most frequently used measurement setups. From $11,413; Tracking Generator Option (TG7) from $2,484. Agilent Technologies

Inline Tester and Programmer

The RAPIDO Series Inline Production Systems handle high-speed programming as well as board test by making use of the company’s newest Embedded System Access (ESA) technologies. The new models, named RPS3000-(x), support double-sided probing for up to 3,000 nails. Nonvolatile flash, microcontrollers (MCU), and programmable logic devices (PLD) can be onboard programmed quickly and reliably. Based on an enhanced SCANFLEX architecture with short-wire interfacing for up to 32 sites, the systems provide combining programming tasks with test strategies such as boundary scan, processor emulation, or functional test.

Entry-Level Oscilloscopes

The TBS1000 Series of entry-level oscilloscopes gives electrical engineers, educators, and hobbyists an affordable tool for a variety of general-purpose electronics test applications. The TBS1000 Series (TBS stand for Tektronix Basic Scope) makes it easy for educators to put an oscilloscope on every desktop, for hobbyists and tinkerers to obtain a full-featured oscilloscope, or for companies to outfit their entire engineering and technical support teams with the diagnostic tools they need. Designed and manufactured by Tektronix, and backed by a five-year warranty, the new oscilloscopes deliver 1-GS/s or 500-MS/s sample rates and 3% DC gain accuracy down to 2 mV. From $520. Tektronix
