Agilent/Keysight 87512A

The Agilent/Keysight 87512A is a transmission/reflection test set engineered for direct integration with Agilent and Keysight network analyzers. It delivers precise S-parameter and impedance measurements of 50 Ω passive and active components across DC to 2 GHz. The instrument characterizes reflection and transmission behavior with Type N female connectors, making it ideal for RF device validation where measurement accuracy is non-negotiable.
