The Keysight (Agilent/HP) E5100A is a high-speed network analyzer operating from 10 kHz to 180 MHz or 300 MHz. It is specifically designed for high-throughput production lines of electronic component manufacturers, particularly those producing resonators and filters. With a remarkably fast measurement speed of 0.04 ms/point and a high-speed processor, it significantly improves production efficiency. The instrument features a fine selection IF bandwidth for fast, low-noise measurements and supports IBASIC for easy automation.
