Keysight E5071A Vector Network Analyzer

Overview

The Keysight E5071A vector network analyzer provides comprehensive measurement capability for testing both multiport and balanced devices. The ENA Series offers 2-, 3-, or 4-test ports for simultaneous measurement of all signal paths in multiport devices, making it ideal for complex RF component characterization.

The E5071A delivers extensive analysis capabilities including time domain transform with gating and mixed-mode S-parameter measurements with matching circuit embedding/de-embedding and impedance conversion. The analyzer features a Windows-based user interface with a large 10.4-inch LCD display and built-in interfaces including GPIB, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, USB, VGA, and parallel connections. It can be programmed via COM or SCPI interface, with built-in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) support.
