The Agilent/Keysight N9330A is a portable handheld cable and antenna tester engineered for field verification of RF systems from 25 MHz to 4 GHz. It delivers fast, accurate impedance measurements using Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) to detect and locate cable faults, return loss, and VSWR anomalies across frequency and distance domains. Built for wireless service, aerospace and defense, and broadcast applications, the N9330A combines rugged field durability with intuitive operation and comprehensive data management.
