Problems with HP8753C networkanalyzer


 

hi group I have a HP8753C analyzer option 6 (6Ghz) that has a HP85047 testset. I get the following error when power on. No IF found check R input levelPhase lock lost when I se my display I have not strait line under 90Mhz. There is like noise on the line there. I did some tests in CW mode and se I loose my phase lock going under 87Mhz. Looking on the Cw signal with a spectrumanalyzer I se a very unstable signal. So when going below 87Mhz the display say Phase-lock lost. Going above make a stable frequency signal. Measurering the power out of the source (level set to 0dBm out say around -11dBm but that is after a loss of 6dB in a powersplitter (hp11667). so output od source is around -5dBm measured at 1Ghz. Level is flat over the range. What can be the root course for that problem. Best regards Peter Hansen OZ1LPR

Hi Peter,

I went through a similar problem (not exactly the same, but the error was the same) and was able to fix it by an internal source auto-calibration.

Please, check my WEB at for more information about what I did and the results. If you have any doubt, just ask :-)

I hope it helps!

Regards,

JOSE

Hi there Jose thanks for your mail. I tried to read your nice presentation and did some tests. I can do Cal 44 cal 45 and they pass that. but when I do Cal 48 it fails. And actually the failure got worse. I tried to work open loop to se the offset and I se a HUGE offset. setting to 300khz we should se something from 1.3-6Mhz I get 165Mhz there and going to 30Mhz give me 190Mhz and 40Mhz over 200Mhz. So what would you suggest me to do. 73 Peter
