The Keysight P5007B is a two-port vector network analyzer delivering RF and microwave component characterization across 100 kHz to 44 GHz. This compact, PC-based instrument connects via Thunderbolt 3 for high-speed measurement throughput and operates with the same GUI, SCPI command set, and measurement algorithms as Keysight’s higher-performance VNAs. The faceless design enables portable operation in space-constrained or field environments.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: 100 kHz to 44 GHz
• Ports: 2 (2.4 mm female connectors)
• Dynamic Range: 132 dB
• Input Impedance: 50 Ω
• Interface: Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C)
• Sweep Modes: Linear, Log, Segment, CW, Power, DC source
– Key Features
• Wide dynamic range and low trace noise ensure signal integrity across the full measurement band. Temperature stability maintains measurement accuracy in varying environments. Fast sweep speeds maximize test throughput for high-volume characterization. Lightweight, one-handed portability suits technicians working in confined spaces or remote sites. No on-board data storage memory accommodates classified or secure facility requirements.
– Typical Applications
• Component characterization (filters, amplifiers, attenuators)
• Pulsed-RF measurements
• Time-domain reflectometry (TDR) and transmission-line analysis
• Noise figure measurement with vector correction
• Gain compression and P1dB analysis
• Spectrum analysis
• Fixture removal and de-embedding
– Compatibility & Integration
• Compatible with Keysight Electronic Calibration (ECal) modules for fast, repeatable calibration. Extend port count by cascading two units. Optional modules support embedded local oscillator, internal pulse generators, modulators, frequency offset mode, and full N-port calibration. A 4-port test set option and built-in second source option available. Comprehensive measurement software transforms the analyzer into a complete RF test platform. Host PC connection via Thunderbolt 3 requires compatible driver support from Keysight Technologies.
