HP 8971B Noise Figure Test Set
The HP 8971B Noise Figure Test Set brings the simplicity of double sideband measurements and the accuracy of single sideband measurements together in one package. Careful design and high performance components, including a stable YIG filter, allow broadband single-sideband measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz with a single calibration and sweep.
Measurement modes in the HP 8970B allow for double down-conversion using the HP 8971 B as the second down-converter. These new modes can be used for millimeter-wave measurements of amplifiers and transistors and measurements of receivers and mixers with IFs above 1.6 GHz.
HP recommends using an isolator and preamplifier between the test device and measurement system. This reduces two of the largest sources of noise figure measurement uncertainty - mismatch uncertainty and second stage noise figure.
