2021 Holiday Gift Guide

As we enter the 2021 holiday season, the Keysight Product Marketing team put together a gift guide just for you! Each team member handpicked a special Keysight product for you to add to your holiday shopping list. We hope you find something perfect for you, your family, and your great uncle.

Andrew's pick:

Do you feel like your family is not understanding the signals you are sending them about the gifts you want? Get them the PathWave Vector Signal Analysis software for Keysight's Analyzers or Oscilloscopes to help them pinpoint their signal problems. This will ensure they get your hints correctly so you can get the gifts you want!

Linas' pick:

Want to spice up your cooking? Are you tired of cooking a dry turkey year after year? Keysight has the perfect solution for smoking juicy and tasty Turkey or veggies.
The EDU36311A Triple Output Programmable DC Power Supply should be on any Pit Master/BBQ expert's gift list. With three channels of 30V output, get that Smoker/BBQ going quickly under controlled circumstances. Programming features allow just the right level of control throughout the process.

Disclosure: While the smoke did not leave the power supply, some probes may have been harmed in the making of the photographs. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

Eric's pick:

Considering buying your pre-school children and grandchildren four colorful Teletubbies dolls with uniquely-shaped antennas protruding from their heads? Then, we have the perfect addition to complete your gift bundle. You need the next-generation multichannel signal generator to characterize your multiple antennas systems.

Bernard's pick:

Wow! Look at Santa's new test tools on his workbench. If he has it, then you know you want it. Perhaps, this complete set of Smart Bench Essentials instruments may end up under someone's Christmas tree this year

Gabi's pick:

Worried about securing the most desirable gifts this Christmas? Perhaps you noticed presents were a bit sparse over the last few holiday seasons? You didn't even get coal?! Make sure your signal is getting through to Santa with Keysight's PNA Network Analyzer. Check the S-parameters of your Christmas list to make sure your message is transmitting clearly, so he doesn't have to check his list twice.

Michelle's pick:

Are the holiday gift-giving jitters setting in? This is the perfect gift to help…

(to the tune of Wham! Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go)

Da da da Jitter(de)bug…
Da da da Jitter(de)bug…

You take the jitter out of my life
You make my problems go away on my holiday
You take the jitter out of my design
Clock goes a tick-tick-tock 'til my signals realign

Hook me up before you go-go
Eye gotta find the signal's high or low
Hook me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Hook me up before you go-go
Eye gotta find the signal's high or low
Hook me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You make me think that I can
You help everything go according to plan
Life has never been the same
Keysight technology has changed the game

Jitter(de)bug with Keysight's Oscilloscopes!

Sarah's pick:

Have you been searching for a glorified AM/FM radio? Look no further! Keysight's FieldFox handheld analyzer demodulates AM/FM radio signals so that you can listen to your favorite radio station. No headphones? No problem! FieldFox has a built-in speaker and a rechargeable battery that lasts four hours, so you can bring the tunes with you and get the party started no matter where you go. Oh no! Someone spilled their hot cocoa on it and your cousin's kid threw it down the stairs?! Don't worry! FieldFox is also waterproof and shockproof.

Be the life of the party at your next holiday shindig with the FieldFox handheld analyzer!

Albert's pick:

Do you have friends who are always fumbling with an oscilloscope probe because they are left-handed? Finally, Keysight provides a solution to this pestering problem with the release of the new LH series of probes. The picture below shows the first of this series, N2142A-LH, which provides all the ergonomic benefits that right-handed people have enjoyed. Left-handed people can now probe confidently and with agility like never before using the LH series by Keysight.

We hope this gift guide gave you some good laughs not-so-useful ideas this holiday season. Some (or all) of these products may not exist or are not intended to be used in the proposed manner.

Happy Holidays from Keysight!
