The Keysight (Agilent) P5023B is a PC-based vector network analyzer delivering RF and microwave component characterization across 9 kHz to 14 GHz. Part of Keysight’s Streamline Series, this portable instrument connects via Thunderbolt 3 to a host PC for operations and user interface control. Available in 4-port (P5023B-400) or 6-port (P5023B-600) configurations, the P5023B achieves 142 dB dynamic range and maintains 50 Ω input impedance throughout its operating band.
– Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: 9 kHz to 14 GHz
• Port Configurations: 4-port or 6-port
• System Dynamic Range: 142 dB (typical, 10 Hz IF bandwidth, no averaging)
• Input Impedance: 50 Ω
• Interface: Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C connectors)
• Sweep Types: Linear, Log, Segment, CW, Power, DC Source
• Calibration: Electronic Calibration (ECal) module support
– Key Features
• Compact, portable design—no onboard data storage for classified environments
• Faceless architecture controlled entirely through host PC
• Port cascading capability for multiport calibrated measurements
• Optional second source (Option 402) for 4-port models enabling intermodulation distortion (IMD) measurements
• High-speed Thunderbolt 3 data transfer and instrument control
• Identical GUI, SCPI command set, and measurement science as Keysight’s benchtop VNAs
– Measurement Capabilities
Optional software applications include basic pulsed-RF measurements, automatic fixture removal (AFR), time-domain analysis (TDR), noise figure measurement with vector correction, embedded LO capability, gain compression measurements, and spectrum analysis. Frequency offset mode is available via Option S97082B. Internal pulse generators and modulators are supported through Options S970250B and S9701251B.
– Typical Applications
R&D component and system characterization, manufacturing test, and quality control in RF and microwave environments requiring high-precision measurements and portable deployment.
