The Keysight P5000A is a 2-port USB Vector Network Analyzer designed for RF and microwave component characterization from 9 kHz to 4.5 GHz. This compact instrument delivers 140 dB dynamic range with a noise floor of -136 dBm, supporting fast measurement speeds and low trace noise across passive components, amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters. Direct PC control via intuitive GUI leverages the same measurement science as Keysight’s higher-performance PNA platforms, while universal connectivity—USB 3.0, Ethernet, RS-232, and GPIB—integrates into diverse lab environments.
