HP 4396B RF Network/Spectrum/Impedance Analyzer, 100 kHz to 1.8 GHz/2 Hz to 1.8 GHz

The HP 4396B provides excellent RF vector network,spectrum, and optional impedance measurements for lab and production applications. Gain, phase, group delay, distortion, spurious, CN, and noise measurements often required for evaluating components and circuits can be measured using one instrument.

When combined with a test set, the HP 4396B provides reflection measurements, such as return loss, and SWR, and S parameters. As a vector network analyzer, the HP 4396B operates from 100kHz to 1.8GHz with 1 mHz resolution and its integrated synthesized source provides -60 to + 20dBm of output power with 0.1 dB resolution. The dynamic magnitude and phase accuracy are +-0.05dB and +- 0.3deg. so that it can accurately measure gain and group delay flatness, which are becoming more important in modern electronics systems.

As a spectrum analyzer, the HP 4396B operates from 2Hz to 1.8GHz with resolution bandwidths(RBWs) spanning 1Hz to 3MHz in a 1-3-10 sequence. A fully synthesized local oscillator allows stable and accurate frequency analysis. As a impedance analyzer by the addition of Option 010 and tet kit, the HP 4396B operates from 100kHz to 1.8GHz with Z basic accuracy: 3%(typical). In addition, with two independent display channels available, you can simultaneously view network and soectrum (or spectrum and impedance, or transmission and reflection) characteristics of the device under test in split-screen format. For example, an amplifier's frequency response (network measurement) and distorition (spectrum measurement) can be shown at the same time.
