Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced on December 13, 2006, that it has completed the acquisition of certain assets of PXIT Inc., a privately held company that provides signal integrity testing systems for broadband optical transceiver manufacturers. For more information, see the press releasee.

The N2100A-H10 is primarily targeted at production ATE applications. The Wideband Optical Input is ideally suited to electro-optical transceivers, VSR parallel optics modules and TOSAs. The electrical input is suited to high-speed serial data interconnects and ROSAs. Typical applications include:

- Transceiver Test

- Telecomms Equipment Test

- Multi-Port System Testing

- Hi Port Count Burn-in Test

• Eye diagram, mask and jitter testing in a single instrument
• Cost-effective architecture
• High throughput measurement engine
• Small form-factor 3 slot PXI card allowing multiple instruments to be deployed in a single chassis
• Ideal for manufacturing entironments
• Wide optical bandwidth coverage from 780nm to 1620nm
• Single-ended electrical input
• Bessel-Thomson filters (in software and/or hardware)
• Integral clock recovery for coherent measurements up to 3.0Gb/s
• External reference clock input (SMA)
•
