The Agilent/Keysight E8362C is a 20 GHz PNA Microwave Network Analyzer delivering high-accuracy S-parameter and advanced RF measurements from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. Built for R&D and manufacturing environments, it characterizes passive and active devices with 123 dB dynamic range, sub-0.006 dB trace noise, and measurement speeds under 26 µsec/point. The instrument supports 32 channels with up to 20,001 points per channel and provides two 3.5 mm 50-ohm test ports rated for +10 dBm output.
