Agilent/Keysight P5003B

The Keysight P5003B is a PC-based, two-port Vector Network Analyzer from the Streamline Series, designed for precision S-parameter and component measurements from 9 kHz to 14 GHz. Its compact, faceless form factor and single-hand portability make it ideal for field deployment and space-constrained test environments. The instrument connects to a host PC via Thunderbolt 3 interface, leveraging the PC's processing power for real-time analysis and measurement computation.
