Re: RF Voltmeter?
The big limitation in using probe type RF voltmeters, is the probe. It becomes very difficult to establish a good low impedance ground above perhaps 700 MHz, making measurements questionable. This

Re: Why Under FILa file for the 3586 with 419MB, but nothing there?
The folder is empty so the upload failed or something. Maybe they were deleted.
The 419MB is the total space used of the 2GB allocation. Try another file.

Under FILES> 3586> 419MB---- file empty.
Anyone known why I can't see the files?
Thank, Lamont.

Just purchased HP 3586B--EBAY
I waiting to get it, I 'm pretty excited, but also concerned it will need repair.
In the listing I note is the display has error code of CE-1. The manual says,

Re: Frequency calibration?
You need to investigate, and measure Allen Variance, a better
indication of the quality of an oscillator. What you will most
likely find is the GPS disciplined oscillator, though very good

Re: Frequency calibration?
I liked the story about the man with 3 watches. This is what measurement is
all about, making a conclusion of the data that you have. The measurements
give you an indication of the precision you have

Re: Some HP 8341A questions
Hi,
I was able to remove theYTO from the instrument and test it with the aid of a spectrum analyzer and a few power supplies. Mine needs +20V, -10V, and

Re: Frequency calibration?
We need extreme freq stability for our master freq reference for a particle accelerator that is 770 meters long. The original 46 year old oscillator was first a HP107BR special that was at 6.289xxxx

Re: Frequency calibration?
Thanks to all that responded. I am playing with a receiver for Navtex. Problem there is that the nearest station only transmits for 10 minutes (max) every four hours so that makes tuning the receiver

Re: RF Voltmeter?
It's similar to the HP 3400A and the Ballantine 323. The HP 3403C is
a true thermal RMS meter, with 100MHz bandwidth.

Re: RF Voltmeter?
The Boonton cables start to have high resistance in the shields, allowing signal ingress ion. The Boonton 91 is a tube model (The only schematic I have is for the 91CA). It has a 50K balance pot

Re: RF Voltmeter?
I have wanted an rf millivoltmeter for some time.? I was using my HP410B which is fine except it won't measure down to the millivolts.
Then I realized that my HP54542A oscilloscope has great

Not quite, the 410C has 15mV scale, same probe diode as 410B.

I think you are right. From the spec, the Boonton 92 seems has better sensitivity than HP410C, I don't have neither Boonton 92 nor HP410C so I can't comment on which one is actually
