# Agilent E5100A Network Analyzer (Pre-Owned) # Agilent E5100A Network Analyzer (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Source and receiver covering 10 kHz to 300 MHz in a single network analyzer - GPIB (ANSI/IEEE 488.2), parallel I/O, and EXT TRIGGER with built-in Instrument BASIC for automated systems - 1 to 4 measurement channels (depends on option) with 2 to 1,601 measurement points per sweep - Frequency accuracy ±20 ppm at 23 ±5 °C; optional ovenized reference (Option 1D5) for ±1 ppm - Phase noise < -90 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from a 0 dBm fundamental - 6.5 inch color LCD (640 x 480), built-in flexible disk drive, and VGA monitor output - Frequency resolution 1 mHz; output power resolution 0.1 dB - Measurement calibration: response, response and isolation, and 1-port 3-term The Agilent E5100A is a network analyzer covering 10 kHz to 300 MHz, integrating a signal source and a receiver in a single instrument. It supports one to four measurement channels and performs both magnitude and phase measurements, with measurement calibration types including response, response and isolation, and 1-port 3-term. A network analyzer characterizes how a device behaves across frequency by comparing a stimulus signal against the device's response. The E5100A offers ratio measurement modes such as A/R, R/A, and, with the appropriate input configuration, B/R, B/A, A/B, and additional pairings, alongside absolute A, B, and R measurements. Both frequency and power sweep parameters are available, using linear (step, ramp) or list sweep types over a Cartesian display format. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 square foot secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive in Elgin, Illinois. Every used unit is inspected and functionally verified in-house before it ships, while new units leave the warehouse factory-sealed exactly as received. Holding inventory directly means the instrument you order is one we physically have on hand and have prepared to the standard appropriate for its condition. ## Brand Heritage The test and measurement line carrying the Agilent name originated with Hewlett-Packard, whose test and measurement business was spun out as Agilent Technologies in 1999. That business was subsequently transferred to Keysight Technologies in 2014. ## Accessories Supplied - Power cable (Qty 1) - Sample program disk (Qty 1, E5100-180X01) - CD-ROM (manuals) (Qty 1, E5100-905XX) - Function Reference (Qty 1, E5100-900X02) - Programming Manual (Qty 1, E5100-900X72) - User's Guide (Qty 1, E5100-900X12) - Instrument BASIC Users Handbook (Qty 1, 04155-90150) - Instrument BASIC Users Handbook Supplement (Qty 1, E5100-900X52) ## Product Core & Specifications Specification Value Source — Frequency Characteristics Range 10 kHz to 300 MHz Accuracy (at 23 ±5 °C) ±20 ppm Accuracy with Option E5100A-1D5 (at 0 to 55 °C, 20 minutes after power on) ±1 ppm Stability (at 23 ±5 °C) ±5 x 10–6/day (SPC) Stability with Option E5100A-1D5 (48 hours after power on) ±2.5 x 10–9/8 hours (SPC) Resolution 1 mHz Source — Output Power Characteristics (measured at RF OUT 1, RF OUT 2 terminated with 50 Ω) Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-001 –9 dBm to +11 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-002 –15 dBm to +5 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-003 –12 dBm to +8 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-801 –48 dBm to +22 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-802 –54 dBm to +16 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-803 –51 dBm to +19 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-600 (at RF OUT 1) –52 dBm to +18 dBm Range (nominal) with Option E5100A-600 (at RF OUT 2) –65 dBm to +5 dBm Resolution 0.1 dB Level accuracy (at 23 ±5 °C, 0 dBm output level, 50 MHz) ±1 dB Flatness (at 23 ±5 °C, relative to 0 dBm output level at 50 MHz) +2 dB, –4 dB Flatness with Option E5100A-803 +2.5 dB, –4.5 dB Linearity (at 23 ±5 °C, relative to 0 dBm output level at 50 MHz) ±1 dB Source — Spectral Purity Characteristics Non–harmonic spurious signals (at < 300 MHz) < –45 dBc Phase noise (at 10 kHz offset from 0 dBm fundamental) < –90 dBc/Hz Other Source Information Reverse power protection 20 dBm, 25 Vdc (SPC) Output connector BNC female Output impedance 50 Ω (nominal) Receiver — Input Characteristics Frequency range 10 kHz to 300 MHz 1 MΩ input for Options E5100A-703/704/707/708 10 kHz to 5 MHz IF bandwidth (IF BW) 10 Hz to 30 kHz, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 step (nominal) Impedance 50 Ω (nominal) 1 MΩ input for Option E5100A-703/704/707/708 1 MΩ // 30 pF (nominal) Return loss (at 50 Ω input, 10 kHz ≤ frequency < 100 MHz) 20 dB (SPC) Return loss (at 50 Ω input, 100 MHz ≤ frequency ≤ 300 MHz) 15 dB (SPC) Damage level DC 25 Vdc Damage level AC 20 dBm Receiver — Averaging Noise Level (magnitude, 23 ±5 °C, RF attenuator: 0 dB, 50 Ω input) IF BW 30 kHz (at > 1 MHz) –100 dBm IF BW 10 kHz (at > 300 kHz) –105 dBm IF BW 3 kHz (at > 100 kHz) –110 dBm IF BW 1 kHz (30 kHz ≤ frequency < 100 kHz) –95 dBm IF BW 1 kHz (100 kHz ≤ frequency ≤ 300 MHz) –115 dBm IF BW 300 Hz (10 kHz ≤ frequency < 100 kHz) –100 dBm IF BW 300 Hz (100 kHz ≤ frequency ≤ 300 MHz) –120 dBm IF BW 100 Hz (10 kHz ≤ frequency < 100 kHz) –105 dBm IF BW 100 Hz (100 kHz ≤ frequency ≤ 300 MHz) –125 dBm Receiver — Magnitude Characteristics Absolute amplitude accuracy (at 23 ±5 °C, –30 dBm input for RF attenuator: 0 dB or –5 dBm input for RF attenuator: 25 dB, 50 Ω input) ±1 dB Frequency response (50 Ω input, 10 kHz ≤ frequency < 100 kHz) ±1 dB Frequency response (50 Ω input, 100 kHz ≤ frequency ≤ 100 MHz) ±0.5 dB Frequency response (50 Ω input, 100 MHz < frequency ≤ 300 MHz) ±1 dB Frequency response (1 MΩ input for Option E5100A-703/704/707/708, using 50 Ω feedthrough) ±3 dB Trace noise (at 1 kHz IF BW, frequency > 305 kHz) < 10 dBm rms Stability 0.02 dB/°C (SPC) Receiver — Phase Characteristics Measurement mode Normal/Expanded Frequency response (10 kHz ≤ frequency < 100 kHz) ±5° Frequency response (100 kHz ≤ frequency ≤ 100 MHz) +2.5° Frequency response (100 MHz < frequency ≤ 300 MHz) ±5° Trace noise (at 1 kHz IF BW, frequency > 305 kHz) < 50 mdeg rms Stability 0.15 deg/°C (SPC) General Characteristics Operating temperature (disk drive in operation) 10 to 40 °C Operating humidity (disk drive in operation, wet bulb ≤ 29 °C, without condensation) 15% ≤ RH ≤ 80% Operating temperature (disk drive not in operation) 5 to 40 °C Operating humidity (disk drive not in operation, wet bulb ≤ 29 °C, without condensation) 15% ≤ RH ≤ 80% Operating altitude 0 to 2,000 meters Warm-up time 30 minutes Non-operating temperature –20 to 60 °C Non-operating humidity (wet bulb ≤ 40 °C, without condensation) 15% ≤ RH ≤ 90% Non-operating altitude 0 to 4,572 meters Safety Certified by CSA-C22.2 No.1010.1-92, Based on IEC 1010-1 (1990) including Amendment 1 (1992) EMC Complies with CISPR 11(1990)/EN 55011(1991): Group 1, Class A;
