Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
I hope so.? ;-) In this setup (Q12 / CR13 out of circuit), the gates of Q15 are offset just a bit - A: -5.0V B: -5.8V? The drains are of course then far apart - A: 2.8V B: 8.46V? and the sources

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
The problem is obviously revolving around the op-amp which is made up of Q15 and U2. The two gates of Q15 should be balanced at all times, otherwise the output of U2 would be stuck at the +12 or the

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues
With the protection circuitry disabled, the 1K resistor reads 1.87K. U3's inputs are both at -6.4V.? Its output is at -7.4V. Q15 seems to depend on what I'm measuring; for this test, its inputs are

Re: VNA advice wanted
Yes, my error. I got the 85046A and 85046B transposed! The A is the 50 ohm version with APC7 connectors. I doubt the RF source, A, B or R receiver N connectors would get damaged as they are rarely

Re: HP34702A Ohms converter issues

Re: VNA advice wanted
Just to be certain things don't get crossed up, the 85046A is a 50 ohm, 300 kHz to 3 GHz test set, and uses APC 7 connectors to interface with the DUT.? The 85047A is similar, but goes up to 6 GHz.
