The Keysight E5080B ENA is an advanced, high-performance vector network analyzer that combines the flexible capabilities of the ENA series with the software architecture of the PNA series. It supports a wide range of frequencies across multiple configurations, scaling from 9 kHz up to 53 GHz, making it an ideal single-instrument solution for comprehensive R&D and manufacturing tests. Beyond traditional S-parameter measurements, the E5080B offers broad application options including spectrum analysis, pulsed-RF, noise figure, and advanced time-domain analysis.
