Upgrade considerations
There are numerous reasons for upgrading the Agilent 8510 system. The 8510
network analyzer maintains excellent performance while adapting to different
measurement requirements such as basic component testing, on-wafer probing,
pulsed device characterization, antenna and RCS (Radar Cross Section) meas-
urements. Depending on the application, the 8510 network analyzer system
can be reconfigured to meet other system measurement needs.
