8722C

Keysight Technologies (Agilent HP)Vector

The Keysight (Agilent HP) 8722C is a high-performance microwave vector network analyzer designed to characterize RF and microwave components from 50 MHz up to 40 GHz. It integrates a fast-sweeping synthesized source, an S-parameter test set, and a tuned receiver into a single compact system. Featuring a large color display and advanced marker and calibration capabilities, the 8722C is highly suited for R&D, manufacturing, and quality assurance applications requiring precise and comprehensive S-parameter measurements.
