HP 537X Series Family

The Hewlett-Packard family of modulation domain analyzers (the HP 537XA products) provides an insightful view of complex signals. The analyzers are used to identify the source of jitter and improve performance in digital communications systems, disk and tape drives, and mechanical systems.

The HP 5371A and HP 5372A general-purpose analyzers can sample frequency as fast as every 100 ns. The HP 5372A, a superset of the HP 5371A, offers expanded memory, faster measurements, hardware histograms, and FFT capabilities for sophisticated jitter spectrum analysis and phase noise studies.

The HP 5373A integrates the features and performance of the HP 5372A, with built-in functions for pulsed signal analysis. The HP 5373A is especially suited for radar and EW signal characterization applications.
