Helps us ensure our materials' performance and DKDF measurements
I would definitely recommend trying this product. It's a really reliable and high-performance machine. In terms of a learning curve on the equipment, I had some training on the VNA before we purchased it, so for me training was done within a week or so. It was not really hard. But for colleagues, it took them some time to learn it. Upgrades are always welcome. Apart from VNA, we need to purchase all the fixtures, other equipment to connect to VNA. They are very expensive tools, and that's part of upgrading what we are doing in the lab. The solution, performance-wise is a ten out of ten. Price-wise, it's a six out of ten.

The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth
It is a general purpose scope with 4-channel 300 MHz.  The application space that this solution targets is the embedded system of my products. Typically, the signals that we are measuring are digital, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), wireless, and Zigbee The most valuable feature would be the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user interface is very user-friendly. You can use a lot of functions in their scope and will provide them for you. You can update the scope's software by asking Keysight to update the software when you want."
"It's a one-stop solution. It does everything we need. The combined functionality is the biggest benefit."
"It's easier to automate and connect with multiple devices, and at the same time with laptops."
"The user interface is nice. It describes the output well, so it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are its quality and reliability... The good thing about the GUI interface which is, of course, software-based, is that you can record and save your test setup."
"It does everything that I need it to with the PLTS software and the network analyzer software."
"Its versatility and accuracy are the most valuable features."
"The Keysight Ecal feature has made it very easy for me to do calibrations."
"The most valuable feature would be the bandwidth."
 

Cons

"The user interface is not that good. It's not very intuitive. It's functional, but it's not designed for ease of operation. It's designed for functionality."
"They can improve, but I don't know how."
"I would like more accuracy, particularly for multiport measurements."
"I would like more customized functions, so we can do the programming and definitions ourselves. There is an automation flow to capture this signal, and we would like to do this ourselves."
"Their GUI is not the best. They need to improve on that. I think their software team needs to put in a little bit more work on how they are presenting the application on the scope."
"If the simulation runs for a long time, it will suddenly crash. If they can debug that, the product would be better."
"Some of the models have only two ports. It takes much longer to use a two-port. If they had a four-port, it would be much better."
"In terms of additional capabilities, I would like to see more touchscreen and a larger screen. That would help."
"The memory needs improvement."
"I had to change the probes to higher frequency probes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be improved a bit. They try to make the pricing competitive but I think there are times that the competitors have good pricing."
"The pricing is always high."
"Keysight is on the high side. If they could make the price lower without sacrificing the quality that would be great."
"The major factor influencing the decision-makers is the price."
"The cost is always a struggle. We always wish that we could do more for less."
"The pricing is good for what they offer."
"It's very expensive."
"They're not cheap."
"The pricing was good."
"For the 4-channel big display, you have to upgrade to 500 MHz."
