Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT N9320A #9117697 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT N9320A is an electronic test equipment used to measure two-port S-parameters. This instrument provides reliable and convenient measurements of the response of a device under test (DUT) and can be used in laboratories and on production sites. The instrument features a frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz, providing the necessary coverage to properly characterize the performance of common components such as antennas, diodes, transistors, and amplifiers. It employs a set of mixers, low-noise preamplifiers, and converters in order to measure the amplitude and phase of the reflection and transmission coefficients of the DUT. These coefficients are combined to generate a two-port S-parameter matrix which can then be viewed in real-time and stored at intervals for post-processing. The instrument offers a wide range of measurement functions including return-loss, insertion-loss, VSWR, and transmission response. The measurement speeds can be adjusted from 10 ms to 2.5 s per point, allowing for accurate measurements of quickly varying components such as amplifiers and filters. In addition, the instrument is equipped with several additional features. The built-in DUT-dependent limiter allows the user to limit certain measurement results and set alarm thresholds, while the built-in screening test enables the easy identification of defective components. The built-in AM/FM modulation support provides measurements of parameters such as power supply rejection ratio and phase linearity, while the optional noise figure measurement package allows for the characterization of noise performance at various temperatures. The instrument has an Ethernet connection for remote operation. It also supports the use of programmable devices such as HP 8560E network analyzer or an ATE controller for automated operation. In addition, the instrument includes a set of software tools and drivers for complex post-processing of the acquired data. Overall, HP N9320A is an ideal tool for characterizing two-port S-parameters. Its wide range of measurement and feature functions, combined with fast measurement speeds, makes it perfect for a range of test and measurement applications.
