Agilent/Keysight 87510A

The Agilent/Keysight 87510A is a benchtop gain-phase analyzer that measures gain and phase characteristics across the 100 kHz to 300 MHz frequency range. Engineered for research, development, and manufacturing environments, this instrument delivers high measurement accuracy and resolution for RF and microwave component and system characterization. An intuitive user interface enables rapid setup and operation, while HP-IB (IEEE-488) control provides automation and remote command capability.
