The award is based on a recent analysis of the oscilloscope market conducted by Frost & Sullivan. Frost & Sullivan ranked Agilent second in its 2009 rankings, but its rapid revenue growth since then has propelled it to the top spot in market penetration.    

“The introduction of highly innovative products, the provision of application-specific solutions thanks to its extensive catalog, and the shift to indirect distribution channels for its standard oscilloscopes are some of the main reasons for Agilent’s success,” says Jessy Cavazos, Industry Director at Frost & Sullivan.    

In 2011, Agilent launched the InfiniiVision 90000 X Series oscilloscopes for the high-end market segment and the InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X Series for the standard segment. Agilent also provides application-specific, proprietary solutions through a wide range of hardware and software systems, which have helped the company make significant strides in both segments.

According to Frost & Sullivan, the adoption of indirect distribution channels for its standard oscilloscope line and application-specific high-performance integrated circuits has helped to increase Agilent's market share in high-end and standard oscilloscopes.

Agilent has invested in integrated circuits manufactured with indium phosphide, using a patented process, and has succeeded in increasing transistor speeds to over 200 GHz. This has allowed the company to give its oscilloscopes high-frequency capability (up to 33 GHz) while maintaining the lowest noise and baseline jitter levels on the market. Furthermore, integrating functions such as data acquisition, visualization, and analysis processing into a single CMOS circuit has enabled Agilent to significantly reduce the cost of its InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000X Series oscilloscopes.
