Summary: Results of MMIC Integration

• FieldFox has the same measurement science as high end benchtops resulting in direct measurement correlation

• FieldFox rugged design meets MIL-PRF-28800F Class 2 and has been type tested to MIL-STD-810G Explosive Atmosphere test. Meets CISPR 11 Class B.

Agilent ConfidentialDecember 2012

• Agilent MMICs enable FieldFox analyzers to establish a new level of performance to 26.5 GHz in a 14 watt, no fans or vents, easy to use instrument

• Integration = higher reliability, enables standard 3 Year warranty

• FieldFox combination analyzers can be configured with up to ten instruments in one which is extremely useful for both field and R&D lab measurements
