Agilent / HP 8754A / H26

HP 8754A is a complete stimulus/response test system which combines a 4-1300 MHz swept source, three-input narrowband, tuned receiver, and both rectilinear and polar displays in a compact package.  The convenient built-in source incorporates digital display of the start or center frequency, the ability to sweep all or any portion of the 4-1300 range, and crystal markers at 1, 10, or 50 MHz intervals to enable accurate frequency calibration and measurement. 

The receiver provides 80 dB dynamic range in two independent measurement channels to allow simultaneous measurement of any two transmission or reflection parameters using a single test setup. Measurements of absolute power, magnitude ratio, phase angle, and reflection coefficient (or return loss) are displayed on the fully calibrated CRT with resolutions up to 0.25 dB and 2.5 degrees per major division. With these features the HP 8754A offers a high level of operating convenience and technical performance to swept magnitude and phase measurements in laboratory, production, and field testing applications at an economical price.

A comprehensive line of 50-ohm and 75-ohm test sets allow you to tailor your test setup for a specific measurement using the minimum of equipment, or to provide the maximum in versatility for a wide range of applications.  Signal separation devices include the HP 11850 Power Splitter for precision transmission measurements, and the HP 85044 Transmission/Reflection Test Set for simultaneous transmission and reflection measurements.  Matched cable sets, precision adapters, and transistor fixtures provide convenient, reliable connections to the test device.  Adding the HP 8750A Storage Normalizer provides flicker-free rectilinear displays regardless of sweep rate. The HP 8750A will automatically store and subtract out the frequency response of a test set or cable if necessary, eliminating the need to use a grease pencil when making normalized measurements. For applications that require exceptional frequency accuracy and stability, the HP 8754A may be used with external sources such as the HP 8660, 8662A, 8663A, 8556B, or 8642A/B Signal Generators.
