Re: Triangle to Since Conversion
Any function generator that does not use a D/A and a LUT works that way. This includes Wavetek, HP, Tek and others. Have you looked at the parts list for your instrument? -John ===============

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
Very few tunnel diodes were used as microwave amplifiers. Usually they were used to provide a trigger pulse for an oscilloscope or very fast pulse for TDR or sampling scopes. If you need triggering,

Re: Request: Comments on modern Multi-Meters
I'm going to guess that you mean the 34401A. No, but the manual is right there on agilent.com so you can see for yourself when you have to use the menu. Hard to answer when you don't say *why* you are

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
Thanks, Gents, That clarifies the issue for me. Early transistors were mostly low frequency as I remember. If I am confronted with one of those tunnel diode circuits, I will consider using fast

Re: Noise figure meas. of a S.A.
Dear Marco and Gianfranco, your explanations are right , If the equipment has this feature, you can also use the Marker noise function to display the average Noise Power density expressed in

Re: Noise figure meas. of a S.A.
Dear Gianfranco, thermal noise power density at 300 K is approx -174 dBm/Hz. 174-137 gives 37 dB NF - a little high for a S/A. My ADV R3361A specification says (page 10-3) thet the average noise level

Re: Info about 9100-3451 or 9100-3882 HP 3552A data line test set Power Transformer
Ciro My (readable :-) ) copy of the manual lists T1 part number as 9100-3882 . Unfortunately the manufacturer is listed as Hewlett Packard so it is unlikely you will ever be able to get the "specs"

Info about 9100-3451 or 9100-3882 HP 3552A data line test set Power Transformer
Hello all! I have an HP3552A which has (I believe...) its power transformer faulted. The P/N on its body is 9100-3882 but the code read on the service manual is 9100-3451 (T1). This part cannot be

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
Hi Tom yes they are basically very simple but in the 60s they were extremely difficult to make reliably. Modern technology vapour-phase deposition, ion mplantation etc makes then much easier to

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
It's simple, transistors got a lot faster. If the basic circuit is fast enough, you don't need any such compensation. PIN diodes are inherently slow devices, so their applications are completely
