Re: hp8350b/hp83595a front panel mod
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Paul,I¡¯ve only encountered it in the 3.5mm connectors on both the 83595 and on the 8340B. I don¡¯t have the service manuals to hand right now but I¡¯d guess it¡¯s not so much to protect the attenuator as it is to protect what¡¯s upstream from it if the attenuator is set to 0.

In the EU-UK area, probably WIHA brand is best.? They make a set with interchangeable tips that is nice. -J-

Windows Virtual PC was not on my Windows 7 computer. So I
went through all the wickets to download it and install it.
When I tried to open it, it spit back that my computer was not
of high enough pedigree to use this program.
That really got me ticked off ... I go through all this effort only
to be told I can't use it !!! What sick mind wrote this program.
I expected that Windows 7 would provide enough backward
compatibility to run this program (SSS). Maybe not or maybe the
SW package I downloaded from the HP site had a Name & PW
already imbedded. In which case it's useless.
In any case, I guess I will never know.

Re: Application Note 122: EMI Measurement Procedure

Re: 5343A troubles
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýThat's interesting, the 5343A service manual specifies a test at 50MHz and -10dBm on the high frequency input (and the counter actually passes that without issue), but I also can pretty clearly tell that it's not working reliably above that range since the signal generator I have where I'm currently cooped up tops out at a bit over 1GHz (8640B with option 002). ? It did just dawn on me that it's conceivable that it's lost a leaf on the range switch and the sig gen readout is wrong, but since it didn't seem clearly related by a power of 2 to what the 5343A read that seems unlikely. ?I'm about to check that though ? From: <[email protected]> on behalf of Jim Ford <james.ford@...> ? Um, Daniel, the high frequency input says 500 MHz to 26.5 GHz, so expecting it to work much below 500 MHz is a bit much.? I checked my 5343A with an 8350B sweeper with 83592B plug-in (10 MHz to 20 GHz), and got it down to 200 MHz at 0 dBm working just fine.? Got dicey at 100 MHz and 0 dBm, though.? I've not checked at lower input levels but could do so if you think it would help you. ? I haven't tried the lower frequency range lately.? Just back a few years ago when I got it to make sure it worked.? AFAIK, mine works fine.? I can't go beyond 20 GHz (not yet!). ? Jim ? ------ Original Message ------

Re: hp8350b/hp83595a front panel mod
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Steve ? You say the front panel connector is not just a feed through, it has a DC block built into it ? This is new to me is this only for the 3.5 mm or for all including the N types Alternatively is it to protect the attenuator ? Paul ? From:
[email protected]
[mailto:[email protected]]
On Behalf Of Steve - Home ? Hi Jan, The semi-rigid is standard .141 with precision stainless steel SMA connectors. It is L-shaped with a bit of an offset in the leg that goes to the front panel connector: Please note that the front panel connector is not just a feedthrough, it has a DC block built into it. If you substitute a straight bulkhead connector you lose that DC protection. I would recommend removing the rear panel connector and using it instead. You can always revert to rear panel output if you need to. There's precious little room in the plug in to add a relay to allow switching back and forth. If you use your 3.5mm bulkhead connector I'd recommend a connector saver and an external DC block. Better yet go to an SMA bulkhead connector instead of the 3.5mm as I'd bet you'll be using SMA for everything else as 3.5mm connectors are expensive and fragile. Since you will be mating 3.5mm to SMA do be aware that those connections should be torqued to 5 in/lb, .57 N/m, not the usual SMA to SMA or 3.5 to 3.5 value of 8 in/lb, .9 N/m If amplitude accuracy needs to be within specs you'll need to do an RF amplitude calibration once everything is in place as you've made changes to the RF output path. Good luck with the project and let us know how it goes. I've switched an 8340B from rear to front panel output but my 83595A's came with front panel output so I've not needed to modify them. ?
