HP 70820A Microwave Transition Analyzer, dc to 40 GHz

Product Summary

The HP 70820A microwave transition analyzer module is a two-channel sampler-based time-domain instrument for making stimulous-response measurements from dc to 40 GHz. It makes CW and pulse-RF measurements, specializing in measuring fast magnitude and phase transitions. It is ideal for characterizing components and systems in a benchtop environment.

You can measure:

• magnitude and phase settling times
• rise and fall times
• time delay
• peak and average power
• group delay
• AM to PM conversion
• Analysis of AM, FM, and PM on RF carriers

All functions of the HP 70820A are programmable. In addition, custom application-specific interfaces can be developed for HP Instrument BASIC and run internally. This use of IBASIC eliminates the need for an external controller in many applications.

Product Features

• dc - 40 GHz with two channels
• Time domain measurements with FFTs
• Up to 1 ps delta time accuracy
• Magnitude and phase measurements on pulsed-RF signals to 100 ps pulse widths and 25 ps edges
• Analysis of AM, FM, and PM on RF carriers
• Stepped frequency and power sweeps, magnitude and phase
• IBASIC for measurement programs
• 4-slot MMS module
