The Keysight (formerly Agilent) N5222A is a high-performance microwave vector network analyzer (VNA) belonging to the industry-leading PNA Series. It operates from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz and is configurable with 2-port or 4-port options. Built for both passive and active device testing, it features up to 127 dB system dynamic range, high output power, and a remarkably low noise floor, making it an ideal instrument for demanding RF and microwave applications, including signal integrity and materials measurement.
