The Keysight E5061A ENA-L is a compact RF network analyzer engineered for rapid characterization of components and circuits from 300 kHz to 1.5 GHz. It delivers vector network analysis with 120 dB dynamic range and 0.005 dB rms trace noise, supporting both 50 Ω and 75 Ω impedance systems. The instrument integrates T/R and S-parameter test sets, enabling simultaneous measurement of all four S-parameters on two-port devices with full two-port calibration capability.
Technical Specifications
Frequency & Sweep: 300 kHz to 1.5 GHz with linear, logarithmic, and segment sweep modes (up to 201 segments). IF bandwidth extends to 30 kHz. Power sweep analysis is supported for active device characterization.
Measurement Performance: Dynamic range to 120 dB. Trace noise 0.005 dB rms. Configurable test port impedance at 50 Ω or 75 Ω. Maximum output power 10 dBm, with extended power range available.
Traceability & Calibration: Electronic calibration (ECal) module support. Two-port calibration optimizes S-parameter measurement accuracy. Internal reference signal: 10 MHz ± 10 ppm at 0 dBm ± 3 dB into 50 Ω. External reference input accepts 10 MHz ± 10 ppm at 0 dBm ± 3 dB.
Display & Analysis: Up to 16 traces simultaneously across four traces per channel. Independent measurement settings per channel. Time-domain analysis for impedance measurement. Optional fault location and Structural Return Loss analysis.
