Agilent HP 8753E RF Vector Network Analyzer

The HP 8753E RF vector network analyzer provides
all the performance and productivity features to
simplify and speed your component measurements in the
30 kHz to 6 GHz frequency range. Its new processor
makes measurement and data-transfer speeds up to seven
times faster than the previous model. Overall throughput
is enhanced by new features such as simultaneous four
parameter display* and adapter-removal calibration. An
integrated, synthesized source provides up to 10 mW of
output power , 1 Hz frequency resolution, and linear-frequency,
log-frequency, listfrequency, CW, and power sweep types.
Three tuned receivers allow independent power measurements or
simultaneous ratio measurements over a wide dynamic
range of 105 dB at 6 GHz (with Option 006 frequency
extension) or 110 dB at 3 GHz (standard). The integrated
test set allows you to measure transmission and reflection
characteristics of a device to 6 GHz, without a frequency
doubler.
The HP 8753E network analyzer features two independent
measurement channels. You can choose to display any
combination of reflection and transmission parameters,
in magnitude, phase, group-delay, Smith-chart, polar, SWR,
or time-domain formats. Softkeys let you quickly access
measurement functions, and you can view results in overlay
or split-screen format on the LCD color display. A
VGA-compatible output has been added to drive larger
external monitors for optimum viewing.

6 GHz operation (Option 006)
Description
With the 6 GHz option, performance is specified over the
30 kHz to 6 GHz range. When external source, tuned
receiver or harmonic mode is used, the receiver is capable
of measuring signals up to 6 GHz.

Time domain (Option 010)
Description
With the time domain option, data from transmission
or reflection measurements in the frequency domain is
converted to the time domain using a Fourier transformation
technique (Chirp Z) and presented on the display.
The time domain response shows the measured parameter
value versus time. Markers may also be displayed in electrical
length (or physical length if the relative propagation
velocity is entered).
