Microwave Preamplifier
Boost the sensitivity of the
HP 8566B spectrum analyzer
with the HP 8449B microwave
preamplifier. This low noise, high
gain preamplifier has a
frequency range of 1 to 26.5
Sensitivity improvements of up
to 25 allow you to detect and
analyze very low level signals in
dramatically reduced time, using
wider bandwidths. Low return
loss on the input and output
ports of the preamplifier
minimizes mismatch uncertainty.

Computers and Plotters
The HP 8566B spectrum analyzer
works with computers that support
HP BASIC, including HP 9000
Series 200 and 300 computers and
IBM PC/AT-compatible models.
The HP 7440 and 7550 plotters
are recommended for use with
the HP 8566B. Data can be sent
directly from the analyzer to the
plotter, without the need for a
computer.
