# Agilent N3383A 300 kHz to 9 GHz 3-Port PNA Series Network Analyzer (Pre-Owned) # Agilent N3383A 300 kHz to 9 GHz 3-Port PNA Series Network Analyzer (Pre-Owned) ## Key Features At A Glance - Three-port network analyzer family spanning 300 kHz to 9 GHz across the N3381A, N3382A, and N3383A models - GPIB (IEEE-488), 10/100BaseT LAN, USB, and RS-232 interfaces standard for automated test system integration - Type-N (female) 50 Ω test ports; Type-N, 3.5 mm, and 7-16 calibration kits and ECal modules supported - 8.4-inch (21.3 cm) color active-matrix LCD at 640 x 480 resolution, with VGA video output for an external monitor - Selectable IF bandwidth from 1 Hz to 40 kHz to trade sweep speed against noise floor - Corrected system dynamic range up to 128 dB at the test port (25 MHz to 3 GHz) - Optional step attenuator (Opt 1E1) extends source power down to -85 dBm; optional high-stability timebase (Opt 1E5) The PNA Series Network Analyzers comprise three models — the N3381A, N3382A, and N3383A — covering 300 kHz to 3.0 GHz, 300 kHz to 6.0 GHz, and 300 kHz to 9.0 GHz respectively. Each is a three-port S-parameter measurement system that characterizes the reflection and transmission behavior of RF components through full two-port calibrated measurements. A vector network analyzer stimulates a device under test with a swept RF source and measures the magnitude and phase of the signals reflected from and transmitted through that device, yielding the S-parameters that describe its linear behavior. Across the series these measurements are made over selectable IF bandwidths, with error correction applied through a calibration of the test setup using known standards. ValueTronics stocks and holds its own inventory in a 20,000 sq ft 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 ship factory-sealed exactly as received, giving buyers a verified, accountable source for both new and pre-owned test and measurement equipment. ## Brand Heritage Agilent Technologies originated as the test-and-measurement business of Hewlett-Packard, which spun it out as a separate company in 1999. In 2014, Agilent's electronic measurement business was established as Keysight Technologies, which carries the product line forward today. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The PNA Series Network Analyzers are offered as three models that share a common architecture and differ in their upper frequency limit: the N3381A reaches 3.0 GHz, the N3382A reaches 6.0 GHz, and the N3383A reaches 9.0 GHz, each starting at 300 kHz. All three are three-port S-parameter systems built on the same source, receiver, and display platform. Because the models share the same calibration-kit support, connectivity, IF-bandwidth range, and front- and rear-panel layout, the choice between them is driven primarily by the frequency coverage a given device under test requires. Each pre-owned model below links to its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing. Select the model whose frequency coverage fits your application, then review the pre-owned listing for that specific unit. The N3381A covers 300 kHz to 3.0 GHz, the lowest of the three upper-frequency limits in the series, while sharing the three-port test set, source power range, and IF-bandwidth settings common to the family. The primary difference across the family is maximum frequency — 3.0 GHz, 6.0 GHz, and 9.0 GHz for the N3381A, N3382A, and N3383A respectively — as shown in the comparison table below. Source power range reflects this as well: all models provide -15 to +10 dBm up to 6 GHz, with the 6 to 9 GHz band (applicable to the N3383A) specified at -15 to +7 dBm. Options apply across the family, including the 1E1 step attenuator that extends the source power range down to -85 dBm, the 1E5 high-stability timebase, and Option 014 for receiver access. Refer to the comparison table for model-by-model frequency coverage.
