安捷伦入选TEMOD为美国陆军提供微波信号发生器

      微波射频网消息：安捷伦科技公司（NYSE：A）日前宣布，作为其测试设备现代化（TEMOD）项目的一部分，已获得了美国陆军一份3500万美元的合同。根据合同条款，安捷伦将7年内向美国陆军提供1600套MXG微波模拟信号发生器。

　　TEMOD项目旨在用国家最先进的测试设备更换过时产品。该项目将提高当前和未来陆军系统的备战能力，同时降低运营和支持成本。

　　2008年，TEMOD项目办公室开始为过时库存微波信号发生器设备的更换事宜选择了多个供应商。经过长达10个月深入的技术评估，美军选中安捷伦MXG微波信号发生器作为最佳的替代品。

　　安捷伦公司将提供一个适合美军要求的特殊版MXG微波信号发生器。该N5183M MXG微波模拟信号发生器采用相同的低功耗设计，提高了测量精度，改进测试时间和最长正常运行时间。

    Agilent Technologies Awarded ＄35 Million Contract by U.S. Army for Microwave Signal Generators

　　08:55 GMT, October 20, 2010 SANTA CLARA, Calif. | Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that it has been awarded a ＄35 million contract by the U.S. Army. Under the terms of the contract, Agilent will deliver up to 1,600 MXG microwave analog signal generators over seven years, to the Army as part of its Test Equipment Modernization (TEMOD) program.

　　The TEMOD program was created to replace obsolete general-purpose test equipment with state-of-the-art alternatives. Its mission is to improve the readiness of current and future Army systems, while reducing operating and support costs.

　　In 2008, the TEMOD program office began investigating options for replacing its inventory of old, obsolete microwave signal generators from several vendors -- some of whom are no longer in business -- with a single modern, supportable unit. Following a thorough, 10-month technical evaluation, the Army selected Agilent’s MXG microwave signal generator as the ideal replacement.

　　Agilent will provide the Army with a special version of the MXG tailored to its requirements. The N5183M MXG microwave analog signal generator offers the same low-cost design, increased measurement accuracy, improved test times and maximized uptimes, that are common across the entire MXG family of analog and vector signal generators.
