The Keysight P5001B is a 2-port vector network analyzer spanning 9 kHz to 6.5 GHz, designed for RF and microwave component characterization. This PC-based instrument connects via Thunderbolt 3 to a host computer, delivering fast data transfer without onboard storage—ideal for secure test environments. The faceless, portable design combines measurement science proven in higher-performance VNAs with a compact form factor suitable for lab and field deployment.

– Compatibility & Integration
Requires a Thunderbolt 3–equipped host PC; USB 2.0 is not supported. Software implements the same GUI, SCPI command set, and measurement algorithms as Keysight’s established high-performance VNA platform. Optional measurement modules extend capability across noise, pulse, multiport, and spectral domains.
