The Keysight P9382B is a 4-port Vector Network Analyzer spanning 9 kHz to 9 GHz, designed for RF and microwave component characterization. It connects via Thunderbolt 3 to an external computer, enabling a compact, faceless form factor that fits in one hand. The instrument delivers 115 dB dynamic range, 8 dBm output power, and trace noise of 0.0015 dB rms at 10 kHz IFBW. Fast measurement speed—including best 201-point sweep times of 15 ms—combined with temperature stability ensures reliable, repeatable results across test sessions.
