It depends ,? the 46GHz option changed the input connector , the regular 5352 just as the 5351 used a 3.5mm male connector which will work to 40GHz with degraded specs which doesn¡¯t matter for a counter ,? the 46GHz option used a 2.4mm male NMD connector which is good to 50GHz , I reckon the also changed the cable assy as the 0.141 cable used already has a bunch of loss at 40GHz so using a 0.085 cable would have been a sensible choice .

I also know that initially HP used factory selected samplers for the 52 and 52 with 46GHz option so the 52 samplers had a different part#? , later on they scrapped the concept of having different part numbers and then just sold one part !

BTW the A12 board and sampler also was used in the 83711/12 series synthesizers

Hi Lothar,

?

I was refereeing to Dave's question of upgrading a 40GHz 5352B to a 46GHz 5352B option 5.

And this is according to the posts I linked only connector and cable change.

?

But as also described in those posts, upgrading a 5350/1 to 5352, a resistor needs to be changed.?

?

Askild

Actually not , there were also some component changes on the A12 board between the 51 and 52 Counters , you can look at the schematics of the board to figure it out

Hi Dave,

?

There is some info in these posts:

?

Seems as the only difference is the connector and cable.

?

I have not yet tried to do the change to convert my 5351B to a 52. I don't have anything this high in frequency to test with.

Yes the 5352 was 40GHz however HP used the back panel for different models not just the 52 , the 5361B pulse counter for example had options for 26 and 40GHz and the 5352 had options for 46GHz

Thank you. Do you know if it¡¯s possible to extend the frequency range to 46 GHz? Not that I can think of a use between 40 & 47 GHz, nut if an upgrade is possible, I might be interested.?
