Agilent E5072A vector network analyser

The E5072A vector network analyser is available as either a two-port, 30 kHz to 4.5 or 8.5 GHz instrument. It has improved performance over current RF network analysers, enhanced functionality, a configurable test set and a wide output power level for full characterisation of devices.

These capabilities make it suitable for RF antenna test as well as high-power, power amplifier and high-rejection filter measurements.

The instrument is available with a sweep time of 4 ms with 401 points. Its enhanced functionality and additional capability are based on the ENA series platform. A configurable test set allows users access to the instrument’s internal source and receivers, which extends its dynamic range of forward measurements up to 151 dB.

It also allows users to add components in support of a wider range of applications. Additionally, the analyser features a wide output power level, up to +20 dBm, for measuring the compression characteristics of active devices without added amplifiers.

Characterisation of an active device’s linear and nonlinear region can be achieved with a single power sweep.

The analysers offer a wide range of LF to RF solutions, from low-cost basic S-parameter measurements to multiport and balanced measurements.
