Re: N9020A
Yeah, the PXAs we have at work take a long time to come up, and they always seem to be doing realignments right when you want to make a measurement! Another irritating thing is that if I don't power

Re: N9020A
The phase noise of the E4406A is quite good but there's a lot of high performance options for measuring phase noise these days...? it's hard to keep up with it all. For many years I've wanted an

Re: Seeking HP 80000 Data Generator (aka 2900A) system software
HI Brian, I found this zip file in my stash. To generate the diskettes you'll need a PC that can run LIFUTIL.exe. I hope this is what you need! Regards, Stan

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
According to the HEWLETT PACKARD TRANSISTORS & DIODES. COMMERCIAL CROSS-REFERENCE , an 1854-0071 crosses to a 2N3704 or a 2N3391. Both of those are ECB (apologies to David if those were ones you'd

Re: Agilent E4404B Spectrum Analyzer With Dead PSU Repair
I'm sorry Jim, I didn't mean to sound disagreeable. I typed and sent that too fast. Rifa problems are caused by moisture absorption, not line voltage or lightning. This is a very well-known

Re: N9020A
Yes, I will keep it on the wishlist! Thanks for sharing the plots. I've heard with it's relatively low phase noise it can be used to measure PN as well. Jim

Re: N9020A
When used within its limits, the 14 bit E4406A is a really nice analyser. I typically use mine to measure the accuracy of various attenuators and it can also be used to test the accuracy of the 1dB

Re: Agilent E4404B Spectrum Analyzer With Dead PSU Repair
Pittsburgh, not much lightning here. Nearly every Rifa capacitor I see is swollen and crazed, and when you see that, detonation isn't far behind. -Dave

Re: N9020A
It isn¡¯t too much to ask for that you be able to replace commodity components that fail with identical replacements. It¡¯s also not unreasonable to want to replace a board with a functional

I suspect you live in lightning country, Dave. Southern California where I live is just about the least likely place on the planet for lightning strikes. After damaging at least 2 instruments in the

Re: N9020A
Ah, the E4406A is the one with the hole around 321.4 MHz, isn't it? That could be really annoying if you were working with say, 225-450 MHz, as I was a few years back. I do have it on my wishlist,

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
I've been cross-checking the board against the schematic. I thought I had the dot convention correct (emitter) but then the differences between a few of the transistors on the board made me realize

Re: N9020A
If it helps promote how good these MXA analysers are, there is a nice hardware feature in the IF section of the PSA and the PXA and MXA analysers that helps when making critical dynamic range

I¡¯d hate to get by without the E4406A, that¡¯s for sure. It sees a lot of use these days looking at L-band signals. But speaking of image rejection¡­ LOL! You get 60-80 dB with the MXA,

Re: HP 140B LVPS -12.6V Not Working
I would've guessed that the dot marks the collector. At least that was the convention used on all the parts I encountered as a kid. The literature of the day often referred to "the collector dot". But
