Agilent Series Part 3 of 3
Cellular and Wireless LAN designs are becoming more extreme due to increasing bands, radio formats, antenna ports, and frequency range. All of these conspire to make system Integration and validation a train wreck in the design flow. What can be done to mitigate the volume of work and relieve this critical choke point? Potential solutions include moving test upstream so only added value in each stage is tested, providing more system context earlier in the design flow and finding less expensive ways to do “just enough” validation. The panel will explore how industry is solving the tough integration/validation challenges.

The Agilent U1242B 4-digit handheld digital multimeter (DMM) is designed for quick checks and fixes in the installation and maintenance of machinery, facility and electrical systems. Key capabilities include the switch counter for the detection of glitches on facility switch and relay systems. The harmonic ratio function helps detect the presence of harmonics in AC supplies that can lead to overheating of motors, generators and transformers. The U1242B also enables dual and differential temperature measurements for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Monitoring differential temperature in real-time is especially useful in making sure that HVAC components in the system are cooling or heating the way they should with respect to time. With the U1242B, you can perform inspections quickly and conveniently with the same troubleshooting tool that you carry on your daily rounds.Check more, fix more
