Agilent/Keysight P5022B

The Keysight P5022B Streamline is a PC-based vector network analyzer delivering 9 kHz to 9 GHz measurements across 4-port or 6-port configurations. Connected via Thunderbolt 3 interface, this lightweight instrument operates directly from a host PC and can be transported one-handed, making it ideal for field work and space-constrained environments. The P5022B combines 146 dB dynamic range with fast measurement speeds, low trace noise, and excellent temperature stability for characterizing RF and microwave components, passive devices, amplifiers, and frequency converters.
