Measurement Expertise and
Leadership
The E5500 series provides the kind of
measurement integrity and leadership
that you have come to expect from
Agilent Technologies. The new software
design provides exceptional flexibility,
measurement integrity, and low over-
all cost-of-measurement. The new
dedicated hardware modules provide
improved measurement range, proven
reliability, and excellent repeatability.
A History of Leadership
In 1993 and early 1994, the National
Institute of Standards Technogy (NIST)
in Boulder, Colorado, developed two
calibration standards for use within
a new on-site phase noise (PM) and
amplitude (AM) noise calibration pro-
gram (NIST 813003). To demonstrate
how these standards can maximize
confidence in evaluating the accuracy
and noise floor of phase noise meas-
urement equipment, the standards
were measured at six international
standards laboratories. Of the six sys-
tems actually used, three were
Agilent 3048A phase noise systems.
With the help of a renowned Hewlett-
Packard phase noise design engineer,
they determined that the measurement
error of the calibration standard’s
100 MHz signal was 0.2 dB once they
had eliminated the effects of harmonic
distortion.
The Agilent E5500 series continues in
this leadership tradition by partici-
pating in the NIST 813003 on-site
noise calibration of PM and AM for
phase noise measuring systems.
Worldwide Application Services
and Hardware Support
Agilent has a complete, worldwide
support services structure in place,
providing local hardware calibration
and repair and local application
expertise.
On-site training for up to six operators
is provided by trained phase noise
application engineers. The training
explains all operating modes of the
E5500 series, when each measurement
technique is appropriate, and how to
analyze the measured data.
Additional application assistance
focused on measuring your specific
devices is also available.
