Re: 693B sweep oscillator restoration
1. I had a manual problem with my 651B, Found several manuals which had portions with teh same circuit boards as my unit and that was good enough to get by. 2. Barring blowing any of it in sensitive

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
Jinxie, Ideally, you would use a 85044a transmission / reflection test set. Those things cost quite bit, so you could use some kind of a bridge or coupler instead. A bridge out of a 8505 VNA would

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
I came in to the middle of this. But I sense mumbo-jumbo. After 40 years as a professional microwave engineer working with (and owning many) VNA's,I can say definitively that 1 port networks exist, as

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
As Dave said, you need a coupler...probably something like this (although you probably don't need all this frequency range: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264629907766. The basic setup is: * Connect RF out

Re: Testing dummy loads with a VNA
If its a parallel connection, yes. Why not a series connection? VNAs are intended to do "thru' measurments on systems of a characteristic impedaance (probably 50 ohms) Some are able to do "single

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.

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

Re: Q: Future Plus PCI-X probeable adapter for HP/Agilent 16700/16900 logic analyzers
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

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.
