The Agilent/Keysight 3400B is a true RMS analog voltmeter engineered for precision AC voltage and decibel measurements across audio and RF frequencies. It delivers accurate RMS readings on sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal waveforms, making it essential for broadband noise characterization, fast-rise pulse analysis, and high-frequency signal assessment. The instrument combines wide dynamic range with frequency-dependent accuracy specifications, enabling reliable measurements in demanding RF and audio test environments.
