微波射頻網消息：安捷倫科技公司（NYSE：A）日前宣布，作為其測試設備現代化（TEMOD）項目的一部分，已獲得了美國陸軍一份3500萬美元的合同。根據合同條款，安捷倫將7年內向美國陸軍提供1600套MXG微波模擬信號發生器。

　　TEMOD項目旨在用國家最先進的測試設備更換過時產品。該項目將提高當前和未來陸軍系統的備戰能力，同時降低運營和支持成本。

　　2008年，TEMOD項目辦公室開始為過時庫存微波信號發生器設備的更換事宜選擇了多個供應商。經過長達10個月深入的技術評估，美軍選中安捷倫MXG微波信號發生器作為最佳的替代品。

　　安捷倫公司將提供一個適合美軍要求的特殊版MXG微波信號發生器。該N5183M MXG微波模擬信號發生器采用相同的低功耗設計，提高了測量精度，改進測試時間和最長正常運行時間。

    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.
