The Keysight (Agilent) N5253E1 2-Port E-Band Streamline VNA System is a specialized vector network analyzer engineered for high-frequency S-parameter characterization in the E-band spectrum. This turnkey solution combines a 4-port P5024A Streamline VNA with a pair of N5252AW12 VDI frequency extenders to deliver 2-port measurements across 60 GHz to 90 GHz with 100 dB minimum dynamic range. It provides a cost-effective alternative to PNA-based E-band systems for RF and microwave component testing. The P5024A core unit operates independently for 4-port S-parameter measurements up to 20 GHz, offering measurement flexibility across multiple frequency regimes.
