• New LC/MS system features high sensitivity, quick data acquisition • New 3GPP measurement tool supports latest TS 36 standards High-deﬁnition time-of-ﬂight (TOF) technology anchors the new Agilent 6530 accurate-mass quadrupole TOF LC/MS system, providing users with high sensitivity and data quality. Ideal for proteomics, metabolomics, impurity proﬁling, and environmental screening, the 6530 incorporates new Agilent Jet Stream thermal-gradient focusing technology. Further, the system offers exceptional mass accuracy across a wide range of concentrations and at high data-acquisition rates of up to 40 spectra/second. Other unique speciﬁcations include better than 1-ppm MS mass accuracy, better than 3-ppm MS/MS mass accuracy, and a 10x improvement in in-spectrum dynamic range without loss of sensitivity. A new 3GPP LTE measurement solution for Agilent X-Series signal analyzers highlights signal problems for improved troubleshooting. The Agilent N9080A embedded LTE measurement application enables physical-layer testing of uplink and downlink LTE signals, including single-channel MIMO analysis, at the test rack. The system supports all LTE bandwidths and modulation formats outlined in the latest 3GPP TS 36 standards. Speciﬁc measurements include EVM per OFDM carrier, EVM per OFDM symbol, EVM per slot, and Agilent’s proprietary EVM per resource block. • A step up in machine tool calibration accuracy • Ruggedized, streamlined military radio tester Testing military radios just got easier with Agilent’s new, one-button portable radio tester for FM and SINCGARS (SINgle Channel Ground Air Radio System) equipment. The L4600A radio test set is designed for quicker troubleshooting while in the ﬁeld and includes a built-in spectrum analyzer, network analyzer, signal generator, or signal analyzer per testing requirements. Its rugged, weather-proof construction seals out moisture and dust, ensuring continual uptime even in adverse conditions. Operating in a wide frequency range — between 2 MHz and 2.5 GHz — the test set is also upgradeable to ensure it will accommodate the latest technologies, including JTRS radios up to 2.5 GHz. Machine tool manufacturers, operators and calibration service providers have a new device for measuring machinetool and coordinate-measuring-machine (CMM) accuracy. The Agilent 5530 dynamic calibrator is a laser-based calibration system featuring accuracy to 0.4 ppm, a 20 percent improvement over other systems on the market. The system works with Agilent 5519A and 5519B lasers and features basic components such as laser source, optics, PC-based electronics, and Microsoft ® Windows ®-based software. • Increased bandwidth for PSA spectrum analyzer Agilent’s PSA high-performance spectrum analyzer and mid-range MXA signal analyzer boast advanced functionality that will allow engineers to tackle the most difﬁcult application challenges. The E4446A and E4448A PSAs now feature up to 80-MHz analysis bandwidth, enabling analysis of complex signals with higher symbol rates in millimeter-wave digital communications. The addition of two-channel analog baseband analysis to the N9020A MXA signal analyzer permits R&D engineers to use one instrument for both baseband and RF analysis.
