The Agilent/Keysight 8714ES is a compact RF network analyzer that measures S-parameters, transmission, reflection, and related device characteristics across 300 kHz to 3 GHz. It integrates a synthesized source, dual-channel S-parameter test set with full two-port vector-error correction, three independent receivers, and an internal display—all optimized for production test environments.
