Re: 3575A - useful ?


Dave Brown
 

Just to clarify-
The 3575 is broadband and requires no special source -or any other LOs - just a test frequency source that covers the range of interest-obviously a swept source would be more useful but not essential.


The 3570, OTOH, does require a particular combination of sources and LOs- it is a heterodyne instrument-as opposed to the broadband 3575 - and while it shares the same basic input frequency range (0 - 13MHz) it requires a fixed LO at 20 MHz (from memory) and a swept LO source that covers 20-33 MHz.
These LO frequencies, as well as the test frequency source, (0-13MHz) are all produced from the 3330B, which is a magnificent instrument, very underrated these days but still very competitive for what it does.

The 3570 is a dual channel instrument that can measure relative amplitude and phase between its channels with remarkable resolution-it is available in 50 and 75 ohm versions but I believe the impedance conversion is fairly straight forward (75 to 50 for example)
Be aware there is a 3571 out there which is a later 'version' of the 3570 and looks to a first glance to be identical, but it does NOT allow phase measurements, only relative amplitude.

The 3570A in its time was a wonder. We used to measure filters,
including crystal filters with them way back. The cables are not too
difficult to make and David the manual guy (what's his web-site
again?) will have manuals soon because I am about to send him some
fiche that I have here.

You will need the 3330B (or one of that family) as they had a
secondary output that was necessary for things like the 3570A and the
3571A. Although a 3336 might work.

And, once here... what about the HP-3570A ???

I have one in close to perfect condition but have never used it... I have also
an HP-3330B which seems to be the perfect match but I wonder if it
could be used
'stand-alone', as I don't have the needed interconnecting cables.
