PNA Series Network Analyzer The microwave PNA Series instruments are integrated vector network analyzers equipped with a built-in S-parameter test set, synthesized source, a hard disk drive, USB interfaces, and an 8.4” LCD color touch screen display. The E8362C has 3.5 mm male 50-ohm test ports. The E8363C/64C have 2.4 mm male 50-ohm test ports. The E8361C has 1.85 mm male 50-ohm test ports. Included with each instrument is a mouse, keyboard (U.S.) and a 1-year return-to-Agilent service warranty.
PNA Series Network Analyzer □ 4-port measurement application (Option 550) Adds multiport analyzer mode to any PNA network analyzer with Option 014 configurable test set, which enables full 4-port error correction and measurement capabilities using an external test set. Only standard measurement class is available in the multiport analyzer mode.
