Agilent / Keysight E8364A 50 GHz PNA Series Network Analyzer

The Keysight E8364A PNA Series Network Analyzer is a instrument for precise RF and microwave device characterization across 45 MHz to 50 GHz. Built for demanding R&D and manufacturing environments, it delivers fast sweep speeds, exceptional dynamic range, and low trace noise for comprehensive S-parameter, impedance, and time-domain measurements. The analyzer supports sixteen independent measurement channels with sweep rates below 26 µs/point and offers TRL/LRM calibration for waveguide, on-wafer, and in-fixture devices.
