Keysight E5063A Vector Network Analyzer

Overview

The Keysight E5063A is a cost-effective benchtop vector network analyzer (VNA) designed for testing basic passive components like antennas, filters, cables, and connectors. The E5063A ENA series offers an optimal balance of price and performance, with the ability to measure across multiple frequency ranges up to 18 GHz. This particular model covers 100 kHz to 500 MHz, making it suitable for lower-frequency RF applications and PCB impedance testing.
