Industry’s first 50GHz handheld combination analyser

Keysight Technologies has added six millimeter-wave models to its range of FieldFox handheld analysers. The flagship model is said to be the industry’s first handheld combination analyser to provide coverage to 50GHz.

Three combination-analyser models cover 32, 44 or 50GHz and provide spectrum analysis, vector network analysis and cable and antenna testing in a rugged, portable unit. The three spectrum analyser models cover the same frequency range.

The fully sealed enclosure is compliant with US MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 standards and is also type tested to meet MIL-STD-810G requirements for operation in explosive environments. FieldFox analysers are also type tested to meet IEC/EN 60529 IP53 requirements for protection from dust and water.

The analysers also offer upgradeable software, enabling users to choose the capabilities they need initially and add others later. Examples include vector voltmeter, TDR cable measurements, built-in power meter, pulse measurements, spectrum analyser time gating, interference analyser (with spectrogram), and GPS receiver.
