Agilent/Keysight E5070B

The Agilent/Keysight E5070B is a vector network analyzer engineered for RF and microwave component characterization across 300 kHz to 3 GHz. It delivers S-parameter measurements with 125 dB dynamic range and 9.6 µs/point sweep speed, enabling high-throughput testing in production and laboratory environments. The instrument supports 2-, 3-, and 4-port configurations with balanced and mixed-mode S-parameter analysis, fixture de-embedding, and time-domain capability via optional modules.
