Keysight (Agilent HP) E8362B Repair Service
Product model
E8362B Microwav Network Anlyzr 10MHz-20GhzServices
Need your Agilent E8362B Network Analyzer repaired or calibrated? Our veteran-owned lab handles both, with free estimates and quick turnaround.
Description
The Keysight E8362B vector network analyzer is a member of the PNA Series network analyzer platform and provides the combination of speed and precision for the demanding needs of today's high frequency, high-performance component test requirements. The PNA Series meets these testing challenges by providing the right combination of fast sweep speeds, wide dynamic range, low trace noise and flexible connectivity.
The E8363A provides TRL/LRM calibration (four-receiver enabled) for waveguide, on-wafer, and in-fixture devices. Source attenuators, bias-tees and direct receiver access are optionally available for active device and extended dynamic range measurements.
Repair prices
Any failures or unforeseen issues identified during the calibration phase will be detailed in an estimate submitted for your approval prior to any further action. Repair charges are determined by the actual time and materials required. Please be aware that customers are responsible for all associated shipping costs, to and from our location. This initial estimate is provided free of charge.

Agilent E8362B Error Messages
Error and fault messages for the Agilent E8362B network analyzer (20 GHz), with the assemblies the service manual points to.
E8362B on-screen error messages
| Message | Meaning and where to look |
|---|---|
| PHASE LOCK LOST | The A11 phase lock board sees too little reference-receiver signal to lock. Cause can be in the source, signal separation (couplers, switch) or receiver path. Check the A10 frequency reference output and the reference receiver first. |
| SOURCE UNLEVELED | On the E8362B the A12 Source 20 levels itself, so replacing A12 usually clears it. |
E8362B failed performance test – likely cause
| Failed test | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Source power accuracy / linearity | Run the source calibration adjustment; if it still fails, the source (A12 source) is suspect. |
| Source maximum power output | Follow the signal through the separation path (switch, couplers, attenuators) to find the loss. |
| Frequency accuracy | Measure the rear-panel 10 MHz REF OUT; more than about 10 Hz off calls for the 10 MHz reference adjustment. |
| Trace noise | Rarely fails alone; run the receiver calibration adjustment, then suspect the A6 SPAM board. |
| Receiver compression / noise floor / dynamic accuracy | Points to the A31–A34 receivers or the A6 SPAM board. Receivers are identical, so swapping two channels confirms a bad one. |
| Calibration coefficients | Tracking terms only: run the receiver calibration adjustment. Any other error term failing means a hardware fault. |
| System crosstalk | Loose RF cable, or isolation loss in the receivers or the receiver/test set motherboard. Tighten all cables and receiver screws first. |
SCPI error ranges
| Range | Class |
|---|---|
| −100 to −199 | Command errors |
| −200 to −299 | Execution errors |
| −300 to −399 | Device-specific errors |
