Product Description:
The 8566B is designed for bench and system use and provides superior measurement speed, microwave frequency accuracy and sensitivity. Low level signals up to 22 GHz are measured with a narrow resolution bandwidth. The stability of the frequency synthesizer virtually eliminates long-term drift and residual FM.
The frequency range is 100 Hz to 22 GHz with DC coupled input. A pre-selected external mixer extends this coverage from 26.5 GHz to 75 GHz. Other external mixers allow measurements up to 325 GHz.
The internal bus and microcomputer control make possible many powerful operation and data processing functions as well as the flexibility of computer control. 16 KB of user RAM can be used to store trace data, instrument status and custom downloadable programs (DLP). When the scan time is greater than or equal to 20 milliseconds, all the displayed information can be sent directly to the plotter.
Features:
-
Measuring range: 100 Hz to 22 GHz, DC coupled input; Up to 325 GHz with external mixer
-
Resolution bandwidth: 3 dB bandwidth from 10 Hz to 3 MHz, 1.3, 10 series. The bandwidth can be selected manually or coupled to the frequency span (AUTO mode).
-
Power requirements: 50 to 60 Hz; 100,200,120,220 or 240 V (+5%, -10%); Approximately 650 VA (40 VA in standby). When option 400 is used, the operating frequency is 400 Hz.
