Keysight (Agilent) P9384B Streamline Vector Network Analyzer

The Keysight P9384B Streamline Vector Network Analyzer is a compact, PC-based 4-port instrument designed for RF and microwave component and system characterization from 9 kHz to 20 GHz. Connected via Thunderbolt 3 to an external host PC, it delivers fast measurement speeds with 115 dB dynamic range and 0.0015 dB rms trace noise at 10 kHz IFBW. The P9384B operates with 3.5 mm female test port connectors and 50 Ω input impedance, supporting general-purpose network analysis of passive components alongside optional time domain analysis and automatic fixture removal capabilities.

The instrument runs under Windows 10 (64-bit) Version 1909 or later and shares measurement science, GUI, and SCPI command compatibility with Keysight's higher-performance VNA platforms. This alignment ensures consistent workflows and straightforward integration into existing test environments across aerospace, defense, and communications sectors.
