I'm having difficulty determining the difference between these two models; the 'M version evidently for the military specifically, while the 'B is the...
... Hi Don, AFAIK it's the same machine. The A/B docs applies to the M. A good signal generator, phase noise inferior only to the 8662A series. Bad points:...
Looking for a manual-original or copy- for the above. The only vendor I can find that has one (Manuals plus) has a DY-2650A manual. Anyone know what the DY...
As I recall that unit was made by Dymec. That is where the DY prefix comes from. - Kerry N6IZW - ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
John Yes. I remember when I first spotted it myself looking at Dymec products in the HP catalog-looked like the same little logo-they literally just turned it...
Hello David, Thanks for the tip. I`ve been thinking about why the use of PIN diodes, and not just a fast silicon, or Schottky? I would have thought that a...
I had no answers, so I try again... it's very important. I'm looking for the schematic of HP 8592B analogic interface board A7, p/n 08592-60077. I have...
I am working a project where we need to measure out of band noise and intermod products, close in to a high power channel 69 television transmitter. The...
I would like to build an external RF Limiter for a 8555A, and wonder if anyone in the group has been down this road before. The maximum output from the limiter...
The problem is, "best possible dynamic range" is a vague spec. Do you mean lowest NF? Strongest mixer? Biggest display? You need to cite specific numbers,...
I recently acquired an HP 8116a pulse generator for my home lab which displays error 21 on start up and has no output. I have only the info available off the...
Sorry, I forgot the link. Kerry, this site has an official HP manual for the 8116A. http://tinyurl.com/uv3ks Operating, programming and servicing. No...
Kerry, this site has an official HP manual for the 8116A. Operating, programming and servicing. No schematics I'm afraid. But if you don't have it, it is at...
The Agilent ESA-E analyzer should meet your needs. According to Agilent: "ESA's overall dynamic range sets the standard for the medium class analyzer" As a...
Hi Joe, You are probably looking at spurious signals -60dB or more below Vision Carrier, or thereabouts. Most Spectrum Analysers will have a dynamic range far...
Is this inquiry related to an 800 MHz rebanding project? The low end of the 800 band, the frequencies starting at 806.0125, is the destination for the public...
To put in your terms, the "strongest mixer" would be what I am looking for. Of course, there could be other non-linearities that I am concerned about. I need...
Often a notch filter tuned to carrier frequency [Vision carrier?] is used to increase the effective dynamic range of the S/A, but usually you need to...
Hi all I have acquired a bag of useful looking bits which are believed to come from a gutted HP sig-gen. Like most HP units these are numbered with a pair of...
The four-digit prefix doesn't always (or even usually) refer to an instrument model number. Mainly that seems to be true for PC board part numbers and...
Hi All I am going to make some programs to control my hp 8591 spectrum analyzer via gpib,but unfortunately I cant find my copy of HP Basic- havent used it for...
The HP-BASIC is also called Rocky Mountain Basic or RMB. What do you intend on doing with the software? Contact me offliline as I may have software of...
Has anybody make a 8510B/C work with and Rf source other than HP?? I am asking because I have two Gigatronics generator from 20MHz to 18.5GHz and the second to...
Hi Alan. In reference to the YIG, I have done extensive research into several mfg. If you will give me your personal e-mail address, I will send you the tech...
