Re: HP 8662A A2 Slots
Is there a definitive document that details about the mods to the A2 boards and which ones should be present Also is the 8662a serial number in software available on the device

Re: HP 8565A Spectrum Analyzer Noisy
Video filter has some effect but not big. Furthermore, both the noisy and the clean traces have the video filters set at the OFF position.

Re: Advice on how to use an SA for test point troubleshooting
Chuck - Gotta agree with the mind reading comment. Thanks! What I suspect is the "test point" is probably a connection between circuit elements (amp, splitter, modulator,etc.) and they specified the

Re: Advice on how to use an SA for test point troubleshooting
Hi Bruce, I agree, but the person specifying that you look at that point needs to define how. And, I am pretty sure they did... if one looks. Reading minds is a perilous task when you are up to your

Re: Does an HP Transformer Specification Document exist ?
I have wondered the same thing about HP transformers over the years.? HP In Loveland, Colorado for years had a separate facility we referred to as the Components Building.? They wound transformers

Er, not EEPROMs, but EPROMs, probably 2732s or 2764s. -- john, KE5FX Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2023 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment]

Re: HP 8662A A2 Slots
Yeah, that's an updated CPU board with a lithium battery. Not super common, but a good upgrade from the original design that put NiCds next to the most expensive/delicate RF hardware. The older 8662As

It has been doing it for like 2 months or so. No abuse or measurement that triggered it (at least not something I recall, it has not been used much lately) Wilko

Re: Hot air soldering tool
Another vote for the Quick 861DW - I've had one for a few years, it's always performs very well, no matter if you're trying to reflow a couple surface mount resistors with the air turned way down, or

Re: Advice on how to use an SA for test point troubleshooting
You may also use a differential probe, it is important to pay attention to the probe's input impedance and the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of the probe and oscilloscope. The input impedance of

Re: Advice on how to use an SA for test point troubleshooting
One type of probe that could be used for this purpose is a passive probe with a bandwidth of at least 500 MHz and a maximum input voltage that exceeds +2 dBm. A passive probe is typically less

Yup, you got point :) I¡¯ll search a resistor to apply that method, ohm law at it¡¯s best. Regards, Ruben

Re: Advice on how to use an SA for test point troubleshooting
Both SAs and Scopes measure voltage. If a signal level is CORRECTLY specified in dBm, the impedance must be 50 ohms unless otherwise stated. All that is necessary to do is the mathematical conversion

Re: Advice on how to use an SA for test point troubleshooting
If the OP's description of the set point being 2-3 dBm, is accurate, you can do nothing else but use a 50 ohm probe to make the connection. dBm is totally undefined at the arbitrary high impedances of
