A wide variety of Keysight B2961A/
B2962A applications
To reduce power consumption battery-powered devices
continue to reduce their supply voltage levels, which
requires ever more precise power sources to accurately
characterize device behavior. Noise performance
requirements also continue to become more stringent
in application areas such as mobile communications
due to higher data rates and faster clock frequencies.
These technology trends make the testing of advanced
products increasingly difficult due to their extreme
sensitivity to noise and other external disturbances.
As a result, power supplies/sources with more precision,
better noise performance and more versatile sourcing
functions are now required. The Keysight B2961A/
B2962A meet these requirements, and they can be used
for a wide variety of applications that permit you to
perform critical tests and evaluations that have not been
previously possible.
In addition, the Keysight B2961A/B2962A’s superior
performance and innovative functions make these
instruments ideal companion power supplies/sources
for use with other instruments such as network an-
alyzers, spectrum analyzers, digital multimeters and
nano-voltmeters.
