The Wiltron 360B is a precision vector network analyzer for S-parameter, gain, phase, and group delay measurements across microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. It delivers up to 100 dB dynamic range with four independent display channels and supports both laboratory and production measurement workflows. The system accommodates a broad ecosystem of interchangeable test sets, calibration standards, and external signal sources, enabling detailed characterization of two-port RF and microwave devices from 40 MHz to 110 GHz depending on configuration.
