Description
Overview
The Keysight P5005B is a compact, 2-port vector network analyzer part of the Streamline Series, offering high-performance RF characterization up to 26.5 GHz. Designed for portability with fast Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, the P5005B delivers reliable, repeatable measurements in a lightweight form factor that can be carried with one hand, making it ideal for field testing and space-constrained laboratory environments.
The instrument provides the same measurement capability and software compatibility as benchtop VNAs while dramatically reducing the size of your test setup. It supports a wide range of software applications for RF characterization and is well-suited for classified environments due to its lack of onboard data storage.
Key Features
