The HP 8566B
Microwave Spectrum Analyzer is a high-performance instrument, ideal
for bench or ATE applications.
The frequency range of 100 Hz to 22 GHz (internal mixer) can be extended to 110 GHz with HP 11970 or HP 11974 series external mixers, or to 325 GHz with mixers from other suppliers. A synthesized local oscillator produces counter-like accuracy at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. A 10-Hz resolution bandwidth and excellent frequency stability allow difficult measurements such as line-related sideband characterization at 22 GHz. The HP 8566 B offer 16 K bytes of RAM for user-defined routines, which can be developed for complex measurements that are made routinely. Using the downloadable programming capability of the HP 8566 B, measurement routines can be created on a computer and then downloaded into the non-volatile memory of the analyzer. Custom routines can also be defined and saved using the front-panel controls of the analyzer. You can control other HP-IB devices such as plotters, printers, signal generators, and power meters with user-defined softkeys on the HP 8566 B. Moreover CRT information can be plotted directly without the use of a controller. All HP 8566 B functions are remotely programmable via HP-IB. A unique, integrated preselector/mixer provides high sensitivity with preselection from 2 GHz to 22 GHz. Coupled functions insure that a calibrated display and a specific input-mixer-drive level are maintained. Functions can be uncoupled and set manually if you wish.
