Agilent Technologies Vector Signal Analyzer's New Capabilities Uncover System Problems Early, Shortening the 3G Design Cycle.Business Editors and High Tech Writers Wireless Symposium SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2001 Virtual Hardware Enables Designers to Easily Identify Problems Via Simulation, Using the Advanced Design System Responding to customer requests for tools that shorten Third Generation (3G) communications device Typically refers to a terminal used to send voice, video or text. Mobile phones, wireless PDAs and personal computers equipped with microphones, speakers and cameras are all considered communications devices. See modem. and infrastructure design cycles and accelerate time to market, Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : A), a leading provider of innovative technologies for communications and life sciences, today introduced the Agilent 89600 Vector Signal Analyzer's (VSA VSA (in New Zealand) Voluntary Service Abroad ) 3G communications capabilities, with tighter integration between the VSA and the Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS). Designers of 3G and other digitally modulated radios can now perform virtual system evaluation, using dynamic links from the 89600 VSA to the ADS and new links from the ADS to the ESG ESG Enterprise Strategy Group (Veritas) ESG Emergency Shelter Grant (Florida, USA) ESG Expeditionary Strike Group ESG Electronic Service Guide (used in DVB) series Signal Generator. The VSA can measure either actual hardware or simulated output from the ADS when the system's hardware blocks are incomplete. The ADS link to the ESG signal generator, with its dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator An arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is a piece of electronic test equipment used to generate electrical waveforms. These waveforms can be either repetitive or single-shot (once only) in which case some kind of triggering source is required (internal or external). , can take the simulated output of one hardware block's circuit simulation, and download it to the signal generator to simulate the next stage's actual hardware. As a result of the two new capabilities, design engineers no longer need to wait for all of the hardware stages in a block diagram to come together in order to begin looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. system level problems. Now, the VSA can uncover RF and DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive problems throughout the radio block diagram, even before hardware exists. Also, since the same tool can be used for simulation and measurement, designers require a much shorter learning curve, which further accelerates the 3G product-design process. U.S. Pricing and Availability The Agilent 89600 and the Agilent ADS each start at $35,000. Both products are expected to be available April 1, 2001.
