HP 8567A Spectrum Analyzer, 10 kHz to 1500 MHz |
The HP 8567A is a high-performance, 10 kHz to 1.5 GHz spectrum analyzer for bench and ATE use. Excellent frequency stability permits measurements with a 1 kHz resolution bandwidth and noise sidebands better than 75 dBc at offsets greater than 30 kHz. Noise levels in a 1 kHz resolution bandwidth are as low -115 dBm. The 8567A offers powerful signal- and trace-processing functions such as the Fast Fourier Transform for measuring close-in AM. Multiple traces can be displayed to measure residual FM or drift, or to conduct real-time surveillance over a wide frequency range. Complex measurement routines can be created on an external controller, stored in the analyzer's user RAM, and executed using a single custom softkey. Analyzer control settings can be saved in non-volatile memory. By adding measurement accessories and options, the HP 8567A fits into many applications, including electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, automated broadband signal surveillance, and component stimulus-response testing.
