Keysight Streamline Series USB instruments

The Keysight Streamline Series comprises compact USB instruments — including vector network analysers (VNAs), oscilloscopes and an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) — that leverage Keysight technologies, measurement algorithms and application software. The platform is available in three models.

The P937xA models are compact two-port VNAs with frequency coverage up to 26.5 GHz. All are designed to test passive devices such as antennas, filters and duplexers. Running on a host PC, the context-sensitive user interface is identical to that of Keysight’s latest benchtop VNAs.

The P924xA high-performance oscilloscopes provide full measurement functionality along with advanced triggering, rapid waveform updates and popular features such as zone triggering. With the Keysight InfiniiVision interface running on the user’s PC, the look and feel is consistent with familiar benchtop oscilloscopes.

The P9336A three-channel AWG provides 16-bit resolution with maximum analysis bandwidth of 540 MHz and maximum onboard memory of 4 GB. Applications range from general-purpose testing to complex I/Q signal generation for characterisation of transceivers and modulators.

Controlled via PC through a USB connection, the instruments help users save space on the test bench and are easily shared among members of a development team. The small rack size makes them suitable for manual or semiautomated testing in design-validation and light-manufacturing applications.
