Keysight P5022B/402 Vector Network Analyzer

Overview

The Keysight P5022B/402 is a portable 4-port vector network analyzer with a built-in second source, delivering high-performance RF characterization in a compact form factor. Operating from 9 kHz to 9 GHz, it connects via Thunderbolt 3 to a host PC, enabling fast and repeatable measurements with a hand-portable design ideal for space-constrained and mobile applications.

The integrated second source enables intermodulation distortion (IMD) measurements where each source generates a distinct tone, allowing simultaneous multi-tone testing without external signal combiners.

Key Features
