HP 8590 E-Series User Manual

Accessories
A number of accessories are available from Hewlett-Packard to help you configure your
spectrum analyzer for your specific applications. They can be ordered through your local
HP Sales and Service Office.
RF and Transient Limiters
The HP 11867A and HP 11693A RF Limiters protect the spectrum analyzer input circuits from
damage due to high power levels. The HP 11867A operates over a frequency range of DC to
1800 MHz and begins reflecting signal levels over 1 milliwatt up to 10 watts average power and
100 watts peak power. The HP 11693A microwave limiter (0.1 to 12.4 GHz, usable to 18 GHz)
guards against input signals over 1 milliwatt up to 1 watt average power and 10 watts peak
power.
The 11947A Transient Limiter protects the spectrum analyzer input circuits from damage due
to signal transients. It specifically is needed for use with a line impedence stabilization network
(NISN). It operates over a frequency range of 9 kHz to 200 MHz, with 10 dB of insertion loss.
5OQ Transmission/Reflection Test Set
The HP 85044A Option HlO transmission/reflection test set provides the capability to
simultaneously measure the impedance and transmission characteristics of 5062 devices. It is
effective over a frequency range of 300 kHz to 3 GHz.
Scalar 503 Transmission/Reflection Test Set
The HP 85630A scalar transmission/reflection test set provides the capability to simultaneously
measure the impedance and transmission characteristics of devices. It is effective over
a frequency range of 300 kHz to 2.9 GHz and must be used with the HP 85714A scalar
measurements personality.
5OW753 Minimum Loss Pad
The HP 11852B is a low VSWR minimum loss pad that is required for measurements on 750
devices using an spectrum analyzer with a 5OR input. It is effective over a frequency range of
dc to 2 GHz. The minimum loss pad can be order as Option 004 at the time the instrument is
ordered.
753 Matching Transformer
The HP 11694A allows you to make measurements in 7562 systems using a spectrum analyzer
with a 500 input. It is effective over a frequency range of 3 to 500 MHz.
RF Bridges
The HP 86205A 500 RF bridge and HP 86207A 75Q RF bridge can be used to make reflection
measurements with the spectrum analyzer. These external directional bridges offer high
directivity and excellent port match. The HP 86205A operates over a frequency range of
300 kHz to 6 GHz. The HP 86207A operates over a frequency range of 300 kHz to 3 GHz.
