The next generation of the FieldFox B-series handheld analyzer delivers measurement precision and bandwidth up to 100 MHz for wide-band, real-time spectrum analysis to enable 5G testing in the field. Accurate microwave measurements are becoming increasingly necessary in harsh and hard-to-reach environments spanning a wide range of conditions: day or night, rain or shine, hot […]
New phase-noise test system works up to 40 GHz with offsets from 0.01 Hz to 160 MHz internally
A new phase-noise measurement system for “power users” helps optimize and prove the performance of new designs, meet operational requirements, as well as remain on schedule and on budget. Phase noise is an unwanted phase modulation noise that emerges in nearly all radio frequency and microwave devices including oscillators, mixers, dividers, multipliers and amplifiers. Power […]
Economical digital microscope includes built-in LCD for standalone PCB inspection
The Saelig SAE106S Digital Microscope is a versatile tool designed specifically for PCB inspection, but can also prove to be useful in many other fields such as coin or mechanical part examination. The SAE106S may be used as a standalone inspection device for circuit board examination using its built-in 4.3-in LCD screen or it may […]

Economical vector signal generator features 40 MHz bandwidth
The VSG60A vector signal generator offers the performance and agility of a serious vector signal generator at a fraction of the cost. A low phase noise, agile local oscillator with a 200 μsec switch time enables frequency hopping spread spectrum testing, and a dual 14-bit DAC runs at 2x or 3x the I/Q symbol rate […]
Spectrum analyzer features 20 GHz bandwidth, 160 MHz IBW of calibrated I/Q capture
The new SM200B spectrum analyzer offers 160 MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) calibrated I/Q capture, available through block transfer of a two-second I/Q buffer over USB 3.0 to the PC. This added 2-seconds of segmented I/Q capture memory, with advanced triggering options such as frequency mask triggering (FMT) plus user-specified pre- and post-trigger, satisfies the ever-increasing […]
Non-contact handheld scanner inspects wire
The Aeroel HWS.2 Handy Wire Scanner is the world’s first non-contact handheld optical micrometer for measurement of wires, cables and other similar products. The scanner features an embedded display which provides a 3D visualization for placing the wire within the measurement area and to display the measurement result. The measurement cycle is initiated by the […]
5G technology said to usher in new generation of robots
The 5G technology that is on the horizon is being described as a once-in-a-generation technological advent. The massive capacity, ultra-low latency, and high reliability of 5G communications will enable entire new ecosystems of connected technologies to flourish. In the field of robotics, this will mean everything from highly precise industrial robots that can be controlled […]
