HP / Agilent 8720ES

The Agilent 8720ES vector network analyzer allows complete characterization of RF and microwave components. The 8720ES includes an integrated synthesized source, test set and tuned receiver. The built-in S-parameter test set provides a full range of magnitude and phase measurements in both the forward and reverse directions. Built-in vector accuracy enhancement techniques include full two-port, adapter-removal, and optional TRL calibration.

Features:

• 50 MHz to 20 GHz
• 100 dB of dynamic range
• Excellent measurement accuracy
• Two measurement channels
• Four display channels
• Frequency and power sweeps
• Fast sweep and data transfer speed
• Pass/Fail testing, powerful marker functions
• Electronic calibration (ECal)

Opt 007:  Mechanical transfer switch: replaces the solid state transfer switch with a mechanical transfer switch. Increases test port power and dynamic range by 5 dB. Continuous switching is not available in this configuration.

Opt 010: Time-domain capability: allows time-domain measurements.
