Agilent 3577B 2 port Network Analyzer

The Agilent 3577B Network Analyzer is a high-performance, yet economical, two-channel, (optional three-channel) network analyzer for use in both research and development and manufacturing. The Agilent 3577b is used to measure magnitude/phase, insertion loss, group delay, SWR, electrical length, and gain compression from 5 Hz to 200 MHz. When used with the 35676A/B reflection/transmission kit, it can also measure return loss, reflection coefficient, and impedance.

With the optional Instrument BASIC, the 3577B Network Analyzer can execute user-written programs designed to automate measurement systems, compute parameters (such as pass band ripple and 3 dB bandwidth) or customize the user-interface. This includes system control of other GPIB instruments and peripherals via the GPIB. A programmable I/O port, located on the rear panel, extends the Instrument BASIC control to non-GPIB devices, such as device handlers, environmental chambers, and even the device-under-test itself. Of course, the Agilent 3577B Network Analyzer is fully programmable, either internally with HP Instrument BASIC, or externally via GPIB.

Some features of the Agilent 3577B Network Analyzer are:

• 5 Hz to 200 MHz

• Built-in three-term error correction plus normalization
• Magnitude, phase, polar, real, imaginary, and group delay display modes
• Convenience features including direct plotter control and vector math functions
• GPIB
