HP 8720D Microwave Vector Network Analyzer Family

New enhancements now provide up to 7 times faster measurement speed!

Solve tough measurement problems with easy-to-use integrated microwave vector network analyzers. The HP 8720D vector network analyzer family combines a fast synthesized source, tuned receiver, and S-parameter testset in a single instrument. These instruments quickly and accurately measure magnitude, phase, and group delay of all four S-parameters, plus the absolute output power of microwave components.

The HP 8720D analyzers have the performance and flexibility to solve difficult measurement problems and cut test times, all at an attractive cost.

Electronic calibration (ECal) provides fast and simple calibration with a single connection, using the HP 85097A ECal PC Interface Kit and appropriate HP 85060 series calibration modules.

This product family includes

HP 8719D Microwave Vector Network Analyzer, 50 MHz to 13.5 GHz

HP 8720D Microwave Vector Network Analyzer, 50 MHz to 20 GHz

HP 8722D Microwave Vector Network Analyzer, 50 MHz to 40 GHz
