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

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
A long time ago, I remember an eBay seller offering NOS HP replacement thermocouples, with calibration labels, at incredibly low starting bid prices.? I really don't think he knew what he was

Re: 8642B displays A6A1 transient failure F3 when audio peaks at FM mod input
Update I figured out a way to make the 8642B stop reporting A6 counter fault in FM mode when I go from internal to external dc. I turn on AM modulation and set it to internal then turn on FM and

Re: WANTED: HP 606B Sig Gen RF Output Attenuator Module A10
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for your suggestions. I've searched without success so far. Can't find a non-working 606B at this time. I'll keep monitoring. Hi Kim, Thank you for the offer of the unit. I'd be most

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
A local friend and I have done a lot of work on exactly that. The idea has great potential, but there are some dragons hiding. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
I’ve long thought about using one of the Linear Tech or Analog Device RF sensor ICs as a front end to an HP power sensor head with blown thermistor/diode. They have a great frequency and

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello, Short update. Just recalling I had an Arduino setup for GPIB-USB (many thanks to Emanuele Girlando!). It works using that one to do a ++read and get a response, but then I don't seem to be

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
Mike almost all of the 848x series power sensor heads use a thermocouple and not a diode. The replacement thermocouples were at one time available? directly from HP/Agilent. They were crazy

Re: A homemade diode power sensor for HP meters
I've been following this discussion about diode power sensors. I assume the diode sensors fail because of blown diodes form overload. Has any repaired the faulty sensors by replacing diodes? Mike

Re: Readings from 436A power meter using 82357B USB-GPIB?
Hello, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to figure out how to do low-level communication, but don't seem to find any way.? I hope I'm just missing something trivial here. If anyone has an example

Hi Dave. The machine does actually have quite a bit of capability and I find it vastly superior to the older HP VNA's I have had in the past.? The problem is it is so poorly documented or not
