Agilent / Keysight E8362A 20 GHz PNA Series Network Analyzer

The Keysight E8362A is a 20 GHz PNA Series Network Analyzer engineered for high-precision characterization of RF and microwave devices across 45 MHz to 20 GHz. This four-receiver instrument delivers dynamic range up to 138 dB with direct receiver access and supports 16 independent measurement channels, enabling rapid S-parameter acquisition at sweep speeds below 26 µs/point. Advanced calibration techniques including TRL/LRM are supported for waveguide, on-wafer, and in-fixture measurements.
