Agilent / HP 8562A

The HP 8562A extends the features and capabilities of the RF members of the HP 8560 series into the microwave frequency range. In addition, the HP 8562A has standard, preselected frequency ranges of 9 kHz to 22 GHz that can be extended to 26.5 GHz with option 026. Its internal preselector requires no adjustment after 30 minutes at room temperature. This means faster measurements, which can be especially important in automated testing. For millimeter-wave measurements, preselection can be extended to 75 GHz using the HP 11974 series millimeter mixers. Unpreselected frequency range can be extended to 110 GHz using the HP 11970A series mixers and to 325 GHz using mixers from other manufacturers.
