In general, this unit has 100 Hz to 22 GHz coverage with synthesizer accuracy, has a 2 to 22 GHz preselected range, is capable of measurements to 325 GHz with external mixers (sold separately), has exceptional frequency stability and sensitivity, can be programmed for up to four trace markers with amplitude and frequency readout, and will store traces, instrument states and custom downloadable programs (DLPs). The Agilent HP 8566A is for bench-top or ATE use and is a versatile instrument with many applications, such as EMC testing, broadband signal surveillance, and component stimulus-response testing. The exceptional stability of the HP 8566B allows measurements with a 10 Hz resolution bandwidth. The narrow resolution bandwidth yields sensitivities to 135 dBm. Multiple traces can be displayed to measure residual FM or drift, or to conduct real-time surveillance over a wide frequency range. By adding an HP-IB plotter, such as an HP 7550A, 8-pen color plotter, a hard copy of all information on the display of the spectrum analyzer can be made for analysis, documentation, or presentation. Plots can be produced directly or with the aid of a controller. It comes with a FULL set of brand new manuals, including the Quick Reference Guide. Shown is an 18 Ghz. CW signal from an HP 8672A with a resulting 10 dbm loss due to the 50 ohm cable and a screen shot of the FM broadcast band with an 18 inch straight wire antenna. This HP 8566A is stable, has a bright, crisp display, and is in excellent working condition, 100% functional. This unit will not be DOA, packaged quite well, and is guaranteed to be functional upon arrival. |
