The Keysight 85630A Scalar Transmission/Reflection Test Set extends the measurement capabilities of compatible spectrum analyzers from 300 kHz to 2.9 GHz. This portable, rugged instrument enables simultaneous acquisition and display of transmission and reflection data, eliminating the need for reconfiguration between measurement modes. It delivers calibrated S-parameter characterization of RF components including filters, cables, and passive networks through a single test setup.
