Re: HP 11664A Detector - DIY equivalent?

Hi? ok? I made a mistake as quoted? the D when I should have quoted C

?

The 11664A is up to 18 Ghz? the? 11664C is the detector adapter this allows you to use any diode detector with the scaler analyser and I have personally used this up to 75 ghz

The 11664D is 26 to 40 Ghz? with? wave guide input? and I do not have any documentation on this part

?

So basically we now have ( as I have just uploaded them? ) the operator and service manuals including? the CCT for the 11664 A and the C? on this site

and that is all that is available at this time

?

Regards Paul

But that¡¯s info re the home built C version, NOT the D.? Where is the data/cctry for the D version? ?I¡¯d like to see the HP original schematic for the D version as well as? any available data re a home built version of it.

Can only see info re home built 11664C in photos section- perhaps I¡¯m blind¡­.?

Hi look in the ?photos on this site and you will have the 11664D admittedly not that good but also a new design based on modern components

11664D schematic somewhere? The manual in? files section of grps io is ops only, no ccts.

I have done as Jeff described a number of times to get someone a working scaler analyser I use the 11664 C detector adapter for frequencies above 18 Ghz?

so if you are making an adapter without using an old 11664 then the circuit used in the D version is actually better and easier to configure to different detectors ?

Also I have seen possibly on this site a modern board lay out using modern components

Yes, I have. Polarity of detector doesnt matter, as the signal is chopped at 27.8 KHz.

Best bet is get a blown detector then remove the detector bulkhead and fashion a small aluminum sheet metal plate to hold a BNC, replacing the bulkhead with this. It is the same as an HP11664C detector adapter. Easy-peasy. Works great.

Hi,

I've been looking for a couple of HP 11664 detectors for a network analyser but was put off by the sky high price - even for second hand items of dubious condition.

I've seen a web page showing a DIY equivalent using a?33330B?(positive)?detector and an amplifier replicated from the HP service manual.I was wondering if this is a sensible/realistic thing to attempt? Has anybody ever tried this?

thanks

Tony
