The Keysight P5008A is a 2-port USB vector network analyzer from the Streamline Series covering 100 kHz to 53 GHz. It is the highest-frequency model in the P500xA series, featuring 1.85 mm (female) test port connectors and a compact chassis controlled by an external computer for portable, high-performance network analysis.
The P5008A covers 100 kHz to 53 GHz with 1 Hz frequency resolution. It achieves a specified system dynamic range of up to 140 dB from 50 MHz to 6.5 GHz, 137 dB from 9 to 16 GHz, and 122 dB from 30 to 45 GHz (at 10 Hz IF bandwidth). Typical dynamic range reaches 150 dB from 50 MHz to 8 GHz.
The P5008A provides a maximum specified output power of +10 dBm from 1 MHz to 17 GHz, +5 dBm from 20 to 30 GHz, +2 dBm from 30 to 45 GHz, and -5 dBm from 45 to 50 GHz. The nominal preset power level is -15 dBm. Above 50 GHz, the typical maximum power is -12 dBm.
The P5008A supports characterization of passive components, amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters up to 53 GHz. Available software includes automatic fixture removal, enhanced time domain analysis with TDR (S97011B providing 8.42 ps rise time), noise figure measurements, gain compression, differential/I/Q device measurements, spectrum analysis (with Option 090), and pulsed-RF measurements (with Option 021).
The P5008A supports calibration using the 85058B standard mechanical calibration kit and the N4694D electronic calibration (ECal) module. With the 85058B kit, corrected directivity reaches 41 dB from 2 to 10 GHz, 37 dB from 20 to 50 GHz, and 34 dB from 50 to 53 GHz. With the N4694D ECal module, directivity reaches 42 dB from 2 to 20 GHz and 38 dB from 40 to 50 GHz.
The P5008A connects to an external host PC via a USB 3.0 cable assembly included with the instrument, along with an external AC-DC power adapter and power cord. It uses the same common software platform as other Keysight VNAs (PNA, ENA, PXI), guaranteeing measurement consistency and a common remote-programming interface across multiple instruments.
The P5008A has a specified test port noise floor of -130 dBm from 50 MHz to 6.5 GHz, -127 dBm from 9 to 17 GHz, and -120 dBm from 30 to 45 GHz at 10 Hz IF bandwidth. Trace noise magnitude is specified at 0.0015 dB rms from 1 MHz to 4.5 GHz and 0.006 dB rms from 30 to 45 GHz, with typical values of 0.0005 dB rms and 0.0022 dB rms respectively.
Renting the P5008A provides access to the widest frequency coverage in the Streamline Series (100 kHz to 53 GHz) in a portable, USB-controlled form factor, ideal for 5G mmWave, satellite communications, and aerospace/defense testing up to the V-band. With 1.85 mm connectors, up to 150 dB typical dynamic range at lower frequencies, and compatibility with the full Keysight VNA software ecosystem, it delivers exceptional performance without the cost of purchasing a dedicated benchtop analyzer.
