HP 8566B Option 462 EMI Receiver

Product Summary

The HP 8566B Opt 462 is an excellent EMI receiver with 6 dB bandwidths. In addition to enhanced instrument capability for MIL-STD 461A/ 3/C and the new 461D EMI measurements, HP 8566B Opt 462 makes all commercial EMI and general-purpose measurements. This EMI receiver is compatible with the HP 85650A quasi-peak adapter, HP 85685A RF preselector, HP 85869A EMI measurement software, and HP 85867A EMI receiver functions program. The HP 8566B Opt 462 also functions as a high-performance, 100 Hz to 22 GHz, spectrum analyzer which fits into many applications, including automated broadband signal surveillance and component stimulus-response testing. Existing HP 8566B spectrum analyzers can be modified to include Option 462.
