How do you make your exhibit stand out in a crowded trade show like Productronica 2009? Leave your products home. At this year's trade show in Munich, Agilent's EMEA Field Marketing team pioneered a new trade show approach by demonstrating all of its test and measurement instruments remotely.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) expanded its mixed-signal and digital-storage oscilloscope portfolio with two lower-cost 600-MHz Infiniium 9000 Series models, three new application packages and GPIB compatibility. The 9000 Series is the industry's first oscilloscope family to offer bandwidths from 600 MHz to 4 GHz, and it includes the industry's first mixed signal oscilloscope to support MIPI and SATA industry standards.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) expanded its digital-storage oscilloscope (DSO) portfolio with six new models that comprise its next-generation 1000 Series. These new scopes offer bandwidths between 60 MHz and 200 MHz and deliver features normally found on more expensive scopes. The oscilloscopes are available with two or four channels, and each comes in a package that is just 5 inches deep and weighs less than 7 pounds.

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) announced the U2741A USB modular digital multimeter (DMM). Roughly the size of a paperback book, the 5.5-digit U2741A DMM is the latest member of Agilent's USB modular instruments family. These compact instruments make it possible to carry two or three pieces of powerful test equipment in a briefcase alongside a laptop PC.

Agilent Technologies Inc. and Aeroflex Microelectronic Solutions today announced a strategic alliance to deliver industry-leading RF and microwave components and Multi-Chip Module solutions for aerospace, satellite and military applications using Agilent's MMICs (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit).

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the first set of digital-video measurement applications for its X-Series signal analyzers. The Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial/Handheld (DVB-T/H) and Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) measurement applications provide one-button, standard-based power and modulation analysis capabilities to help broadcasting and digital video customers design, evaluate and manufacture DVB-T/H and DTMB modulators, transmitters, amplifiers, tuners and gap fillers/repeaters.

Agilent Technologies Inc. released a display tester designed for easy, customizable setup for visual testing of up to five major display formats. It is suitable for testing FPD and CRT displays as well as LCD panels in PC and TV manufacturing.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced enhancements to its X-Series signal analyzers, which deliver even faster speed and unmatched scalability. The Agilent X-Series has the industry's widest range of application-specific measurement solutions, now including EDGE Evolution and LTE MIMO.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the release of five new, higher-power members of the Agilent U2000 Series of USB-based power sensors. With the addition of these devices, the U2000 Series now covers a power range of -60 dBm to +44 dBm and a frequency range of 9 kHz to 24 GHz. Because these affordable sensors operate without power meters or external power adapters, they save bench space and simplify field work.
