Agilent / Keysight N5222A 26.5 GHz PNA Microwave Network Analyzer

The Keysight N5222A is a 26.5 GHz PNA microwave network analyzer built for precision characterization of components and systems across R&D and manufacturing environments. Operating from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz, this benchtop instrument delivers 127 dB dynamic range at the test port and achieves trace noise of 0.002 dBrms for reliable measurement accuracy. The analyzer supports 2 or 4-port configurations with dual-source capability, 32 measurement channels, and up to 32,001 data points per sweep.

It executes 201-point sweeps in 6.3 ms, making it suitable for high-throughput testing. The 10.4 inch color touchscreen provides intuitive control and real-time waveform display.
