HP 8508A Vector Voltmeter

Product Summary

The HP 8508A vector voltmeter is a fully automatic tuned receiver that make RF voltage and phase measurements easy. Its narrowband measuring technique gives a dynamic range of over 90 dB and a sensitivity of 10 micro V to trace even the smallest signal. This vector voltmeter also measures the phase difference between its two input channels with at least 0.1 degree resolution over a full +180 to -180 degree range, so they can be used for another complete set of measurements - such as electrical length, phase distortion, or impedance. The standard unit is supplied with the HP 85081B input module, which has two high-impedance probe inputs that operate from 100 kHz to 1 GHz. Its ability to store a reference and use it in later measurements means individual circuit sections can be characterized and adjusted independently.

Product Features

• Circuit probing to facilitate the design process
• Easy programming for ATS's
