The HP 8566B Spectrum
Analyzer
Designed for bench and system
use, the HP 8566B offers
superior measurement speed,
microwave frequency accuracy,
and sensitivity. Measure
low-level signals up to 22
with narrow resolution
bandwidths. Synthesizer
stability virtually eliminates
long-term drift and residual FM.
Frequency range is 100 Hz to
22 with a dc-coupled input.
Preselected external mixers
extend this coverage from 26.5 to
75 Other external mixers
allow measurement to 325
An internal bus and microcom-
puter control make possible
many powerful operating and
data processing features, as well
as flexibility under computer
control. Sixteen Kbytes of user
RAM are available for storing
trace data, instrument states,
and custom downloadable
programs
All displayed
information can be sent directly
to an HP-IB plotter when
sweeptime is greater than or
equal to 20 ms.
Accurate Measurements
Amplitude measurement range
extends from to -135
with a 90 calibrated display.
Less than 1 x
frequency reference error and
the spectrum analyzer selectivity
allow high frequency accuracy
even when you are measuring
small signals in the presence of
large ones.
The Spectrum Analyzer
That Keeps Getting Better
Turbo Speed Option
Already a world leader in
measurement speed, the
HP 8566B can be made even
faster with Option 002, which
nearly doubles the internal
processing speed of the analyzer.
Some measurements can be
made up to 50% faster, and
overall throughput is typically
improved by 5 to 25%. (Sweep
speed is not affected by
Option
The Turbo option is compatible
with all HP 8566B accessories,
and it can be added to any
HP 8566B without affecting
specifications. (An HP 8566A
must first be upgraded to an
HP 8566B.)
Accessories and Options
By adding measurement
