This unit
The Agilent/Keysight E8356A is a 2-port vector network analyzer operating from 300 kHz to 3 GHz, engineered for precise RF and microwave component characterization in R&D and manufacturing environments. It delivers 128 dBm dynamic range, 10 dBm output power, and low trace noise across fast sweep speeds. The instrument supports S-parameter and impedance measurements, time domain analysis, and advanced calibration methods including TRL/LRM calibration for in-fixture and on-wafer devices.
Standard bias-tees enable active device testing, while direct receiver access extends measurement dynamic range. Mixer and converter measurements benefit from frequency-offset mode and advanced mixer calibrations (VMC, SMC). Optional electronic calibration (ECal) provides precision, single-connection, multi-port calibration.
The analyzer runs embedded Windows, supports SCPI commands and COM programming, and includes automation and self-help tools. Standard 3.5mm or 2.4mm connectors accommodate various test configurations.
