Re: HP 5385A Advice
Hi,
One way to do this is to use a PLL chip, like the ADF41020, as the microwave divider. That chip has around -20dBm sensitivity at 10GHz, so you may not need an amplifier ahead of it.
However,

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
Another problem with random sampling as applied to a sampling
oscilloscope and not a storage oscilloscope is that the sampling
strobe kickout can corrupt the trigger pickoff causing the display

Re: 3457a on the way
Steve, Jeff, and all,
According to the manual, the 'New Main Controller' was installed starting at
SN 2538A02954 and later. The Assembly Number, 03457-665xx, etc., is under

Re: HP-8657A question
I suspect it could be either. My 8657A is silent but my 8657B 'clicks'
every 5 dB and has a mechanical attenuator.
Do you have a picture of the attenuator?

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
Actually, sequential sampling presents a faster and fuller display, but needs a vertical delay line to be able to see the front edge of fast steps that are widely spaced (low rep-rate). Random

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
David,
Thanks for the clarification -- that makes more sense than what I "remembered". And 2230 sounds right.
Happy New Year!

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
Ed,
That's probably right: 2230 sounds right. I had been thinking it was the 2430, but I think Victor is right, the 2430 doesn't have analog mod.
We picked it over HP (harder to use, jaggy display)

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
Hi,
the 3T77(A) uses two ramps to sample, the slow one gives the screen
position, and the fast one gives the time increment AFTER the trigger event.
Random sampling uses a constant internal sampling

HP-8657A question
Hi all,
I wish you have a nice 2013!
Well, I am working on an 8657A which has no output. So far, following Service Manual (SM) troubleshooting guidance, I have found that there is signal output from

This is one of the best demos of the use of a scope (a Tek 2232, btw) to use all the functions of the scope to examine different waveforms:

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
Chuck,
The random sampling is intentional and is done to reduce the artifacts of
precisely spaced samples.
I think the 3T77A was the first of Tek's attempts. I clearly remember that

Re: Oscilloscopes - analog but with digital capability?
Modern DSO has much higher sampling rate, called over sampling. I remember I read this in the 90s oversampling can greatly eliminate the phase distortion caused by a stiff anti-aliasing filter,
