Keysight Introduces Pulse Generator Option for Handheld Analyzers

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has expanded the software applications for its FieldFox portfolio of handheld radio frequency (RF) analyzers to include a pulse generator. Available for B- and C-Series FieldFox handheld analyzers, the downloadable Option 357 pulse generator offers field engineers a diverse array of pulse types at frequencies up to 54 GHz.

Field engineers conduct routine maintenance on and troubleshoot RF, microwave, and millimeter wave (mmWave) systems. During their work, they need to test a variety of devices and systems to ensure they are working as intended by using the data signals created by a pulse generator. To generate the diverse types of pulses needed for field testing, engineers need multiple expensive pulse generators that may not be specifically designed for field use.

The Keysight FieldFox Option 357 signal generator software addresses this challenge by enabling engineers to quickly upgrade existing B- and C-Series FieldFox handheld analyzers to meet their specific testing needs on the fly. All that is needed for field engineers to take advantage of the only handheld analyzer in the industry with an embedded pulse generator is a software license key and a firmware upgrade (more info).
