As I remember, the last converter only affects Band 0. Cheers! Bruce Quoting Matt Huszagh <huszaghmatt@...>:

Re: HP 8566A/B Noise Floor
Matt, here is what a typical 8566B does. This unit is average, i.e. not particularly "hot", nor has it been calibrated recently. Vladan

Re: HP 8566A/B Noise Floor
higher conversion loss of the mixer translates into a increase in system noise figure , since there is no gain prior to the mixer the IF gain will also play into it , you can go online and find a

a spectrum analyzer in essence a receiver therefore the noise floor is determined by several factors , system Noise figure , System bandwidth and noise contribution ( phase noise ) from local

Re: HP 8566A/B Noise Floor
These analyzers use several bands to cover their operating frequency range. The stepped noise floor is due to the increased mixer conversion loss in the higher bands. The higher the band, the greater

Re: HP 8566A/B Noise Floor
Interesting. I saw the stepped noise floor also on the recently acquired 8566b I setup recently, and would like to know mire what you find out. It does look strange.

85662A CRT raster shifting position
Has anyone noticed this before? I did not make any adjustments, the display raster seems to have moved further to the top the CRT all by itself. It doesn't appear to? wonder around that I can see.

Re: HP 8566A/B Noise Floor
Performance test 14 is the "Average Noise Level Test", which looks applicable and mentions the "Last Converter Adjustments". I'll give those a shot, but still curious to hear thoughts on this. Matt

HP 8566A/B Noise Floor
I have 2 HP 8566's: an A and B unit. The noise floor on the A unit is noticeably better than the noise on the B unit. I've attached 2 images of my B unit corresponding to the 0-2.5 GHz and 2-22 GHz

Re: HP 8566B YTO Main Coil Driver Adjustments Difficulty
Think you may be a bit too critical. IMO, they are talking about rapid drift - it generally is not stable equivalent to lock. The 6.15 end is always a bit more difficult. Generally, I switch back and

Re: HP 8566B YTO Main Coil Driver Adjustments Difficulty
To add a bit more detail: The drift is on the order of 100 kHz or so every few minutes and in one direction. That's a rough estimate; I haven't actually measured it. I should also mention that I'm

Hello Hardy, Thank you for? the information.? I have a 53181A, which is the 1.5GHz counter.? There is another digit in the counter that never lights up.? That was probably used in the 12GHz model.
