Software-defined handheld analyser portolio expanded

Keysight Technologies is extending its FieldFox portfolio with the new N9912C FieldFox Handheld Analyser, a software-defined RF testing platform providing field engineers with over 20 VNA, CAT, and SA options for upgrade and download.

Field engineers conduct routine maintenance on and troubleshoot RF, microwave, and mmWave systems. The analyser enables engineers to mix and match software applications for their specific analysis needs on a single, handheld device. As a software-defined instrument, the device is fully upgradable with license-key activated maximum frequencies, analyser types, bandwidths, and software applications.

Vince Nguyen, vice president and general manager, Aerospace, Defence, and Government Solution Group at Keysight, said: “When engineers are in the field, they need flexible test solutions that can address challenges on the fly. With the truly software-defined FieldFox-C, engineers can quickly respond to new needs with a single, handheld analyser that can be easily configured through software license keys covering frequency ranges, multiple analyser types, and other software applications. With low entry pricing points that protect initial investments, the FieldFox-C is the all-in-one solution for multipurpose field testing.”
