The Keysight (formerly Agilent/HP) 8714ET is a 300 kHz to 3 GHz RF Economy Network Analyzer featuring a built-in transmission/reflection (T/R) test set. It provides fast, accurate vector-error-corrected measurements for characterizing linear and non-linear RF components. Designed as a cost-effective solution compared to full S-parameter models, the 8714ET measures forward transmission and reflection parameters (such as S11 and S21) and offers both frequency and power sweeps for comprehensive component testing.
