Re: Intermittent noise on HP 8568B
I had something very similar on my 8568B. It turned out that one of the coax connectors on the A23 assembly was loose. The noise would come and go as I moved the coax cables inside the RF unit. The

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello, Some more findings... It seems like my Arduino can talk to the instrument after all. Pulling REN low (active) makes it listen to commands sent to its listen address. However, with the REN

Intermittent noise on HP 8568B
While I was working on my power sensor thing, I wanted to check the spectrum of some signal generator by using my 8568B spectrum analyzer. About one year ago, I had the problem that the analyzer had

Re: WANTED: HP 606B Sig Gen RF Output Attenuator Module A10
Graeme, at one time I had one of these attenuators (NOS, if I recall correctly).? It's been years since I've seen it, but it might still be squirreled away somewhere in the shack.? And I don't

Tobias, You will see, not easy task to linearze and to compensate this kind of detector if you need a accuracy. 1. I sugest you to use some of SPDT switches (well matched, small leakage and small

Hey Jeff, I didn't see your message, it was not in the other thread! But thanks anyway, I had the same idea as you suggested - I will soon receive some sensors with a blown thermocouple, and there I

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Hi all, I made some further progress. I discarded my previous prototype and made a new one using better JFETs, this time the 2N4856A. According to its datasheet it is especially designed for chopper

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Steffan... Maybe I missed you saying so, but with the Keysight IOLibraries installed the 82357A/B should be essentially transparent to you. Connection Expert will let you assign it a name such as

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Thermocouple detectors are definitely more linear, RMS, and have been around very long time. Some of the peak power meters use the diode versions. These typically have lower dynamic range. The HP8900D
