Keysight Technologies’ E5080A ENA vector network analyser (VNA) offers a combination of RF measurement performance and speed, enabling a claimed tenfold improvement in test time. The new VNA uses the Keysight PNA- and PXI-Series software architecture, making it easier for engineers to take measurements across multiple Keysight VNAs.

The ENA also offers a large colour touchscreen display with fast access to basic measurements.

Comprehensive functionalities for measuring active and passive component such as amplifiers, mixers, antennas and cables, including balanced DUTs are included in the VNA.

Compared to the popular E5071C ENA, the E5080A offers performance advantages including more than 10 dB wider dynamic range (typically 147 dB) and up to 10 times faster measurement speed in real-world test scenarios. These enhancements improve precision and throughput in the testing of RF components such as filters with deep rejection bands.

Keysight says it is the first VNA vendor to provide a software platform that spans benchtop and PXI-based VNAs. This universal platform uses the best attributes and capabilities of the ENA and PNA families and delivers familiar functionality across all Keysight VNAs.

With the new touch-based GUI capabilities, including tabbed softkeys and drag-and-drop operations, the E5080A streamlines measurement flow and helps engineers get better results in less time.
