The Keysight (Agilent HP) 85044A is a 50-ohm transmission/reflection test set designed to measure the reflection and transmission characteristics of 50-ohm devices. Operating over a frequency range of 300 kHz to 3 GHz, it features a precision 7 mm test port and Type-N female connectors for all other interfaces. It is designed specifically for compatibility with the Agilent 8753A, 8753B, and 8753C vector network analyzers, as well as the 8753D Option 011.
