Agilent Technologies' Series of High-Bandwidth Oscilloscopes Named Test & Measurement World's "Test Product of the Year"

SANTA CLARA, CA (March 5, 2007) - Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced that its 80000B Series oscilloscopes were
voted "Test Product of the Year" by readers of Test & Measurement World magazine. The scopes also were awarded a "Best in Test"
award in the oscilloscope category by the magazine's editors.
The high-bandwidth Agilent 80000B Series
real-time oscilloscopes provide industry-leading signal integrity and probing for
high-speed electronics applications, which are key to making the most accurate measurements on today's low-level, high-speed
digital signals. The 80000B Series is the industry's lowest-noise oscilloscope and the industry's only scope family that lets
users upgrade the bandwidth later when they need to test faster signals. Eight Agilent 80000B models cover the range of 2 GHz
to 13 GHz bandwidth.
The "Best in Test" awards are presented annually by the editors of Test & Measurement World to honor important and innovative
new products and services in the electronics test and measurement industry.
"We are honored to receive these prestigious awards from the readers and editors of Test & Measurement World," said Jay
Alexander, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Design Validation Division. "The awards reinforce that making the
most accurate measurements is what drives our customers today, especially when they are working with high-speed serial buses
using low-voltage differential signaling."
The Agilent E2960B Series protocol analyzer/exerciser for PCI Express II, N9020A, the Agilent MXA signal analyzer and
Agilent Medalist iVTEP vectorless test software received "Best in Test Honorable Mention" awards.
About the 80000B Series
The 80000B Series' superior signal integrity means it has the lowest measurement uncertainty on low-level, differential signals.
The signal integrity performance is enabled by Agilent's RF design expertise, proprietary packaging technologies and unique CMOS
DC architecture. Each model of the Infiniium 80000B series offers the industry's lowest noise floor at its particular bandwidth.
Additional signal integrity advantages of the series include the industry's lowest jitter measurement floor, lowest trigger jitter
and flattest frequency response.
The Agilent 80000B Series also offers a unique bandwidth reduction option that allows users to reduce the measurement bandwidth
and lower the noise floor. Users get the versatility of a wide-bandwidth oscilloscope that can perform like a narrower-bandwidth
model.
Using the Infiniium 80000B with the Agilent InfiniiMax probing system, electronic designers can configure a probing system
that gives unmatched performance with unrivaled usability.
Infiniium application software is available for the Infiniium 80000B Series. There are 23 application packages vital to
engineers designing, debugging and verifying compliance of high-speed serial buses, RF and wireless products, and other
ultra-high-speed electronics.
Agilent 80000B Infiniium Oscilloscopes available for purchase or rental through MetricTest, an authorized Agilent distributor.
