Re: 35677A service/ internal diagram.
I looked but couldnt find a source for download online, anyway its not really rocket science, the connector basically only controls a SPDT switch that switches the RF from the source to either the A

35677A service/ internal diagram.
Hello group: Does anybody have the service manual of the 35677A S parameter test set? All I need to know is what the pin out of the little connector on the back? I am trying to change the internal

Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
Agreed, assuming the caqpacitors around the YIG tuning circuits are all up to spec. I've seen one or two (non Ta) go low C. Best, -John Alexander Whiplash wrote:

Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
designing for low phasenoise never has been a trivial task, this especially goes for wideband oscilators such as YIGs, you also have to drive the shielding of the tuning lines almost to a excessive

Re: HP8565 hacking/mods
I think that Bob Pease wrote a good article or two about ripple rejection for power supplies. Google for "what's all this ripple rejection stuff anyway". He shows how to do it with high voltage

Re: HP 437B Repair / Service Sheets
First off , are you sure that your 8482A is ok ? have you verified operation with another powermeter ? one offender on the 437 as well as other meters is the input connector, if the contacts wear out

Re: HP 437B Repair / Service Sheets
Do you have the sensor connected to a 50 ohm source (turned off) or pad? Sometimes an open sensor input can make things jump around especially on low ranges. Best, -John Richard wrote:

I have a nice HP 437B Power Meter that is not working. It passes self test OK, But the output from the Sensor (Good 8482A) displayed varies all over the place. Even after zero preformed on Power

Spectrumanalyzer recomendations
Ok i know i sound like a broken record but i still consider the 70000 series the best choice if you need a good lab analyzer. First off its a synthesized unit and you can piece it together and expand

Re: RECOMDENTATIONS FOR E4401B SPECTRUM ANALYZER
just out of curiosity i would like to study the E4401 and see if it can be hacked to go to 3GHz, Agilent was good about putting features in their units and then limit them by Firmware corrections, i

Re: RECOMDENTATIONS FOR E4401B SPECTRUM ANALYZER
What's your budget like? What features do you actually need? If you are OK with your current model except for its upper tuning limit, have you thought about building a downconverter for it? There

RECOMDENTATIONS FOR E4401B SPECTRUM ANALYZER
Hi. A few years ago I had the opportunity to purchase a used E4401B Spectrum analyzer which has worked well for me. I am now interested in looking as signals between 1.5 and 2 GHz which this analyzer
