The Agilent/Keysight 8753D is a vector network analyzer for measuring network parameters across laboratory and production environments. It integrates a synthesized RF source, dual-channel receiver, and S-parameter test set to measure magnitude, phase, and group delay of active and passive RF networks. The instrument delivers dynamic range to 110 dB at 3 GHz with 1 Hz frequency resolution, independent display channels, color display, and built-in disk drive storage.
