RF Network Analyzers

The vector-network analyzers provide fast, accurate characterization of RF components, and are designed to help manufacturers of filters, amplifiers, mixers, and other devices increase throughput of test.

The HP 8712ES and 8714ES network analyzers measure the S-parameter of linear devices over the frequency ranges of 300 kHz to 1.3 GHz and 300 kHz to 3 GHz. The HP 8712ET and 8714ET have slightly lower RF performance than the ES versions, but nearly identical features.

All four models offer both frequency and power sweeps for characterizing the linear and non-linear performance of components. They offer a complete range of measurements for device characterization, including gain, insertion loss, isolation, insertion phase, return loss, standing wave ratio (SWR), impedance, linear group delay, and gain compression.
