Advantest’s New Board Network Analyzer
|
|
|
|
|
Advantest Corporation (TSE:
6857, NYSE: ATE) today announced availability of its new PC-mounted board
network analyzer, the R3760, for evaluation of the frequency characteristics of
antennas and filters used in a broad range of portable wireless devices. The
R3760 is the first network analyzer in the industry to offer evaluation of
frequencies up to 6 GHz in a PC-mounted form factor that delivers convenience
and cost. |

PC-Mounted Network Analyzer Contributes to
Lower-Cost Wireless Device Production |
|
Wireless technology continues to progress in
evolutionary leaps, with interface standards such as WiMAX and LTE enabling a
new generation of portable wireless devices including smartphones, portable
navigation devices (PNDs), and netbooks. Going forward, robust growth in these
categories is expected to match solid demand for wireless-capable notebooks and
PDAs, driving prices down and leading manufacturers to seek cost advantages in
the manufacturing process. Network analyzers, used to evaluate the frequency
characteristics of antennas and filters, have an important role to play in
reducing manufacturing costs. Advantest’s new R3760 meets this need with its
highly compact body, designed to be mounted in a personal computer’s PCI slot,
which lowers setup costs to a third of the previous
model’s. |

Features and
Benefits |
|
Lower-cost
antenna frequency characteristic evaluation, compact body
The R3760
incorporates design technology developed by Advantest for its crystal oscillator
network analyzer, the R3755, in a network analyzer capable of measuring
frequencies up to 6GHz, with a form factor uniquely allowing it to be mounted in
the PCI slot of a personal computer (two half-size PCI slots necessary). This
compact body reduces setup costs to one third of the previous model’s, enabling
significantly lower-cost measurements. With no need to purchase bulky new
equipment, users can save space by using existing facilities to construct the
measurement environment. |
|
Easily
customizable measurement environment
The R3760 supports Microsoft®
Visual Basic®, allowing users to easily customize the measurement environment by
specifying their own display settings and conditions. Ready customizability
ensures improved efficiency by allowing specific antenna frequency
characteristics to be targeted for measurement. |
