693B sweep oscillator restoration
Hi all, I came across a 693B sweep oscillator that's in pretty nice shape considering it's age. It seems to be fully functional, tunes accurately, etc. Front panel mechanicals seem to be in good

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
S-parameter test sets don't have anything to do with active vs. passive. First thing's first, please read up on S ("scattering") parameters a bit, as I'm typing on my phone and explaining it would be

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
It's an HP 8754A. And I have a suitable phase-matched splitter (one in, three out). I was under the impression S parameter test sets were only needed for testing active devices under power. This is

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
Ack, sorry a directional coupler. But best to find an appropriate S-parameter test set for your VNA. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
Is this an 8505A? 8753? You need either a good splitter or (better) an S-parameter test set. THEN connect to port one. :) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
I don't have a "port one". I've got one RF out and 3 inputs, R, A & B. That's all.

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
It's simplicity in itself: just connect it to port one, and measure S11. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Testing dummy loads with a VNA
Hi all, I can't find any info on how to connect a VNA for testing dummy loads. All the set-ups I'm seeing are for thru-line measurements for DUTs like filters which of course have input and output

An alternative these days is to run the debugged OS in a virtual machine, and sniff the transactions as they pass between the guest system and the emulated hardware, or even between the guest system

Hello together, Thanks for the Information, but I guess I was a little to late for that: And bought another one. unfortunately that one arrived like that: I guess the metal shielding was the problem

I used a FuturePlus FS2000 PCI Analysis Probe with a 16500C and 16700A many years ago for debugging USB host controller driver issues and needed to see what transactions were occurring on the bus.

Re: Advice on Accessories for HP Equipment
An ovenized XTAL based or PLL unit at 10Mc should be easy to find. Just Google it. I dont know if any of the new AWGs can hold 1ppm or not. As to testing, my first suggestion that a proper room is the
