Logarithmic and Linear.
Polar/Smith Chart Graticule ± 500 deg in 0.001 deg increments
Noise Averaging
Type Exponentially weighted vector averaging on successive sweep data
Averaging Factor Selectable 1 (off), 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256
Linear Phase Slope
Compensation Provides linear phase slope offset of -72,000 deg/span to +72,000
deg/span
Calibration
Transmission
Both traces can be normalized to measured data with full accuracy
and resolution.
Reflection
Corrects for directivity, frequency response and source match
errors
PROGRAMMING CHARACTERISTICS
Capability
Remote programming via the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-
IB). The HP 3677A/B S-Parameter Test Sets are programmable
through the HP 3577A interface only.
Interface Functions SH1, AH1, T5, TE0, L4, LE0, SR1, RL1, PP1, DC1, DT1, C0, E1
Output Data Transfer Time
401 data points (single parameter) can be transferred directly to an
HP 200 series computer in Basic language as follows:
ASCII mode: Typically 1500 ms
Binary-floating point mode: Typically 160 ms
Graphics Capabilities
12 lines of text with 40 alphanumeric characters per line, and high
resolution line vectors can be displayed through HP-IB commands
