Agilent becomes member of DVB Consortium
and WorldDMB Forum
Agilent has announced membership in DVB Consortium and
WorldDMB Forum. Membership in these organizations allows
Agilent to provide test and measurement solutions for digital
video and audio that are more closely aligned with broadcasting
industry needs.
"Agilent is fully committed to meeting the needs of
customers who design and manufacture digital video and broadcast
audio transmitters, components and receivers," said
Hai-tao Zhang, Agilent's China Video Operation manager.
"Our membership in the DVB Consortium and WorldDMB
Forum reconfirms this commitment and grants us valuable
insight into the evolving needs of the broadcast industry.
This insight, coupled with customer collaborations, will
enable us to deliver the leading-edge digital broadcast
test solutions that today's engineers demand."
Agilent's membership in the DVB Consortium and WorldDMB
Forum provides it with direct access to members' test requirements.
Agilent plans to use these requirements to create customized
broadcast test solutions that are compliant with latest
industry specifications and conform to recommended test
profiles or test vectors. By tailoring these solutions to
different test scenarios (e.g., product certification and
large-scale manufacturing), Agilent will deliver flexible
product features, high-performance specifications and increased
cost savings.
Agilent currently offers digital broadcast solutions for
both transmitter and receiver test. For transmitter test,
Agilent provides several X-Series advanced measurement applications
that offer one-button, standard-based power and modulation
measurements for X-Series signal analyzers (high-end PXA,
mid-range MXA, economy-class EXA and low-cost CXA). For
receiver test, Agilent provides Signal Studio software to
create standards-compliant test signals.
The software works with the ESG or MXG signal generator
as a low-cost solution for R&D and manufacturing customers.
The solution is ideal for high-end R&D and lab customers
when used in conjunction with the PXB baseband generator
and channel emulator for full-conformance testing. Both
the transmitter and receiver test solutions are based on
Agilent's general purpose platforms that not only support
most digital video and audio formats available today, but
numerous wireless communications standards as well, making
them well suited for testing multi-format devices.
