New Network Analyzers Enable Affordable Testing of Passive Components

E5063AKeysight Technologies announced five new frequency options for its E5063A ENA Series network analyzer and set the E5063A’s new starting price at $10,000. Testing is a critical step in the manufacture of passive components like antennas, cables, filters and PCBs. Performing the necessary testing cost-effectively is just as critical. With the new analyzer’s frequency range options, manufacturers now have the ability to perform the required testing using a network analyzer with industry standard performance and enough frequency range, all at a low price point.

With these new options and price, the E5063A now offers the best balance between price and performance. This allows passive component manufacturers to satisfy business and technical requirements. The new frequency options cover the 100 kHz to 500 MHz (Opt. 205), 1.5 GHz (Opt. 215), 3 GHz (Opt. 235), 6.5 GHz (Opt. 265) and 14 GHz (Opt. 2D5) frequency ranges. The options complement the E5063A’s existing 4.5-, 8.5- and 18-GHz measurement capabilities. Flexible frequency upgrades are also available to meet future needs and protect equipment investment.

The E5063A is a low cost network analyzer providing optimized performance and functionality for testing simple passive components, such as antennas, cables, filters, and PCBs. The analyzer uses the consistent measurement framework of the industry standard ENA Series to boost efficiency and productivity, and is future proof and ready to evolve as the technologies change.

U.S. Pricing and Availability

Keysight’s new frequency options (Option 205, 215, 235, 265, and 2D5) for the E5063A ENA Series network analyzer are available now. Pricing is dependent on the configuration starting at $10,000 for the 500 MHz and going up to $27,000 for the 14 GHz model. The other models 1.5 GHz, 3 GHz, 6.5 GHz are priced in between.
