HP 85027A/B/C General Information
programmable through HP-lB and can control a plotter and swept source through the
8756 System interface.
The HP 8756A is only capable of AC mode measurements with the HP 85027
directional bridges.
HP 875 5C: although this scalar network analyzer is not programmable, it also
measures amplitude levels of -50 dBm to +10 dBm and amplitude ratios of 60 dB. Like
the HP 8756A, the 8755C is capable of AC mode measurements only.
The HP 8755C plugs into a HP 180 series display mainframe such as the HP 182T or
1 8OTR. If your application requires memory or normalization, use this analyzer with
the HP 8750A Storage Normalizer. Refer to Section 1 of the HP 8755C Operation and
Service manual for additional information on HP 8750A/8755C compatibility.
Swept Signal Source
HP 835 OB: This sweep oscillator mainframe, for one, is a good source for the HP
85027 bridges mated to the HP 8757A because it is solid-state, fully HP-lB
programmable and can be controlled by the HP 8757A through the 8757 System
Interface. It has internal 27.8 kHz square wave modulation capability and, depending
on the RF plug-in selected, can cover the entire frequency range of 0.01 to 26.5 GHz.
HP 8340A: this synthesized sweeper is also fully HP-LB programmable and can be
controlled by the HP 8757A. It does not require a plug-in as it is a complete analog
sweep synthesizer. It generates synthesized output frequencies from 0.01 to 26.5 GHz.
The HP 8340A can be square wave modulated at 27.8 kHz by the HP 8757A.
HP 8341A: this synthesized sweeper differs from the HP 8340A (above) in frequency
range: 0.01 to 20.0 GHz.
Detectors
One or more HP 85025A/B detectors are used with the HP 85027 directional bridges
and~theHP 8757A to make transmission measurements in AC or DC mode. The HP
85025A has a frequency range of 10 MHz to 18 GHz and uses a type-N connector
(Option 001, APC-7 connector). The HP 85025B has a frequency range of 10 MHz to
26.5 GHz and uses a precision 3.5mm connector. Detection in the AC and DC mode is
similar to that of the HP 85027. For AC mode transmission measurements, the HP
11 664A/E detector may be used.
Power Splitter
Ratio measurements can be made with the addition of a power splitter. The HP
1 1667A has a frequency range of DC to 18 GHz; the HP 11667B, DC to 26.5 GHz.
EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE
Additional equipment available for use with the HP 85027 directional bridges and the
HP 8757A scalar network analyzer is listed in Section 1 of the analyzer’s Operating and
Service Manual.
