Re: HP 8566A large amplitude error in 2-22GHz range
OK - there is one way leaving it on longer might help. If the reference is unlocked because of xtal standard drift, leaving it on longer ( a day or so) might help - doubtful, but possible. Run ALL the

Nope, keeps trying to say there¡¯s no issue. I¡¯ve never had to escalate an issue with EBay about a purchase before but it looks like it¡¯s coming to that. I¡¯d actually like to keep the device

Yes, but if he's to be believed, that has been the case for a very long time. You have to understand the history here. This issue on the mailing lists didn't just come up; it has been going on for

Re: HP 8566A large amplitude error in 2-22GHz range
Bruce, terrific thanks I will do that. Separately, the ebay seller keeps insisting that all I need to do is leave the device on for longer. I'm not convinced. Moreover, I'm worried that if there is a

Re: HP 8566A large amplitude error in 2-22GHz range
I would take a look at the YTO loop first. Try to do the YTO adjustment. It involves checking and setting the YTO input from the M/N loop, and then adjusting the band pass. Read the manual, here are a

Peter, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I don't have a counter. But I can look into getting one. Bruce, I've already done this for a number of values (you can see earlier in the chain). Or, do you

Re: HP 8566A large amplitude error in 2-22GHz range
Hello I would think your LO problem is more due to needed YIG Calibration. That is in the manual and quite easy you need a counter that will do the full LO range. YIGs in the 8566 series does not go

Amirb, again, thanks for so much useful information! Unfortunately, the only other SA I have is a cheap one from RF-explorer. It goes up to 6GHz but isn't all that precise. But I'll see what I can

Szia Mihaly, Systron Donner 6153 or Systron Donner 615x. I bought one on Ebay, imported it to Slovakia and then - foolishly without making a copy - sent it to Artek. Thanks in advance if you have it.

Re: HP 8566A large amplitude error in 2-22GHz range
What you are seeing is normal. As you sweep the whole range, the RBW increases to allow the new band to fit into the same linear width as the previous band. If each range is twice the previous, the

Re: Weather resistant, covered Litz wire wanted.
Hi, Lize wire is to compensate for skin effect, and the higher the frequency the shallower the "skin" so more wires equals more skin serface and less losses. Regarding a loop aerial/antenna for
