The Keysight Agilent 8714ES is an RF S-parameter Vector Network Analyzer operating from 300 kHz to 3 GHz. It features a built-in S-parameter test set with full two-port vector-error correction, a synthesized source, narrowband and broadband receivers, and a standard 60-dB source attenuator, making it a high-performance, cost-effective solution for active and passive RF component characterization.
